Background: Chemosensory perception plays a vital role in insect survival and adaptability, driving essential behaviours such as navigation, mate identification, and food location. This sensory process is governed by diverse gene families, including odorant-binding proteins (OBPs), olfactory receptors (ORs), ionotropic receptors (IRs), chemosensory proteins (CSPs), gustatory receptors (GRs), and sensory neuron membrane proteins (SNMPs). The oriental mole cricket (Gryllotalpa orientalis Burmeister), an invasive pest with an underground, phyllophagous lifestyle, causes substantial crop damage.

The ribs, sternum, and costal margin provide a rigid, but flexible chest wall that functions to provide protection to the vital cardiothoracic organs, while also allowing for varying levels of respiration based on physiologic need. The latter function is accomplished through various muscular attachments and rib articulations with both the axial spine posteriorly and the sternum anteriorly. The accessory muscles of inspiration rely on the downward slope and outward curve of each rib, which when contracted move the ribs upward and outward, in turn forcing the sternum anterior and increasing the thoracic volume.

Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Background: Advancements in cardiac catheterization have improved survival for pediatric congenital heart disease patients, but the associated ionizing radiation risks necessitate ethical consideration.
Methods: This study presents an empirical model, developed from 3131 unique pediatric procedures, to establish alert levels based on a patient's lateral thickness of the thorax for various procedural categories during diagnostic or interventional cardiac catheterization. The model uses linear regression of logarithmic reference air kinetic energy released per unit mass (KERMA) and air KERMA area product, also referred to as dose area product, to set alert levels at the top 95% and 99% of patient data.
Opportunistic Hounsfield units measurements on computed tomography scans can predict the number of prevalent vertebral compression fractures in older adults.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, AO Spine Fellowship, Clinica Alemana Santiago - Universidad del Desarrollo, Santiago, Chile.
Purpose: There is a growing interest in using computed tomography (CT) scans to opportunistically assess bone mineral density via Hounsfield units (HU). Previous studies have shown lower HU in patients with vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) and that HU can predict pre-existing VCFs. This study evaluated whether HU from CT scans can predict the number of prevalent VCFs.

Objective: Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive technique used for lung imaging. A significant challenge in EIT is reconstructing images of deeper thoracic regions due to the low sensitivity of boundary voltages to internal conductivity variations. The current injection pattern is decisive as it influences the current path, boundary voltages, and their sensitivity to tissue changes.
