Article Synopsis
- Overhead evaporative cooling (EC) using untreated surface water helps reduce sunburn on apples in Washington State, but it poses a risk of foodborne pathogen contamination, specifically E. coli.
- The study investigated the survival of E. coli on two apple varieties (Gala and Golden Delicious) over three growing seasons, examining factors like EC treatment, canopy location, and fruit maturity.
- E. coli levels decreased significantly during the study, with detection still possible after 154 hours; apple variety and maturity affected die-off rates, while EC treatment and canopy location did not significantly influence daily die-off rates.
We report the sudden onset of dyspnea and loss of consciousness and fetal bradycardia in a middle-aged obese nulliparous woman at 39 weeks of gestation during first stage of labor leading to the decision for emergency cesarean section. Still during surgery, the mother underwent cardiac arrest. Transesophageal echocardiography during resuscitation showed right ventricular failure leading to the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism.

Methods And Results: Rifampicin-resistant E. coli was applied to Fuji apples.
Objectives: Patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) exhibit a fast tumor growth rate and poor survival outcomes. In this study, we aimed to develop and compare intelligent algorithms using ultrasound radiomics features in addition to clinical variables to identify patients with TNBC prior to histopathologic diagnosis.
Methods: We used single-center, retrospective data of patients who underwent ultrasound before histopathologic verification and subsequent neoadjuvant systemic treatment (NAST).
Objectives: Shear wave elastography (SWE) is increasingly used in breast cancer diagnostics. However, large, prospective, multicenter data evaluating the reliability of SWE is missing. We evaluated the intra- and interobserver reliability of SWE in patients with breast lesions categorized as BIRADS 3 or 4.
