Ultrasound localization microscopy in the diagnosis of breast tumors and prediction of relevant histologic biomarkers associated with prognosis in humans: the protocol for a prospective, multicenter study.

Background: Benign and malignant breast tumors differ in their microvasculature morphology and distribution. Histologic biomarkers of malignant breast tumors are also correlated with the microvasculature. There is a lack of imaging technology for evaluating the microvasculature.

Leveraging Multivalent Assembly towards High-Temperature Liquid-Phase Phosphorescence.

High-temperature phosphorescence (HTP) materials have attracted considerable attention owing to their expanded application prospects, whereas they still suffer from severe deactivation in polar media, limiting their reliability and utility. Here, we present an efficient multivalent assembly strategy to achieve high-temperature liquid-phase phosphorescence (HTLP). The supramolecular assembly of multivalent modules leads to extremely robust hydrogen-bonding networks, which firmly immobilize the organic phosphors and protect triplet excitons from annihilation in high-temperature polar media, resulting in excellent HTLP emission.

Towards sustainable spirulina farming: Enhancing productivity and biosafety with a salinity-biostimulants strategy.

Arthrospira platensis (spirulina) is pivotal to the global microalgae industry, valued for its nutritional and bioactive properties. However, its sustainable production is challenged by freshwater scarcity and biological contaminants. This study introduces a salinity-biostimulants strategy to adapt a freshwater spirulina strain, CBD05, to near-seawater salinity (3 %).

Fetal Therapy for Severe Drug-Resisted Tachyarrhythmia With Progressive Hydrops by Fetoscopic Transesophageal Pacing: A Successful Attempt in Single Chinese Fetal Medicine Center.

Objective: To describe the outcome of a case of severe drug-resistant fetal tachyarrhythmia with progressive hydrops treated with fetoscopic transesophageal pacing (FTEP).

Method: A case of fetal tachyarrhythmia complicated by progressive hydrops is presented. The fetus, diagnosed at 26 weeks of gestation, had supraventricular tachycardia with a mechanism suggestive of atrial reentry.
