This paper analyzes a comprehensive study of 45 children treated at the Unit of Urology, Children's Republican Clinical Hospital One, Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. Twenty children operated on for second- and third-degree nephroptosis made up an individual group. Clinical, laboratory, and radiation studies were performed 8-25 years after surgical treatment, by using radiation diagnostic techniques, such as excretory urography, ultrasonography, dynamic scintigraphy, aortography, Doppler color mapping ultrasonography. The authors have analyzed the capacities of complex radiation diagnosis of orthostatic renal dysfunctions in children with nephroptosis and the long-term results of nephropexy.

Background: This study aims to compare Lung Ultrasound (LUS) findings with High-Resolution Computerized Tomography (HRCT) and Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs) to detect the severity of lung involvement in patients with Usual Interstitial Pneumonia (UIP) and Non-Specific Interstitial Pneumonia (NSIP).
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 35 UIP and 30 NSIP patients at a referral hospital. All patients underwent LUS, HRCT, and PFT.

Background: Diffusion-weighted (DW) turbo-spin-echo (TSE) imaging offers improved geometric fidelity compared to single-shot echo-planar-imaging (EPI). However, it suffers from low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and prolonged acquisition times, thereby restricting its applications in diagnosis and MRI-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT).
Purpose: To develop a joint k-b space reconstruction algorithm for concurrent reconstruction of DW-TSE images and the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map with enhanced image quality and more accurate quantitative measurements.

Background: Nitroxyl (HNO) is an emerging signaling molecule that plays a significant regulatory role in various aspects of plant biology, including stress responses and developmental processes. However, understanding the precise actions of HNO in plants has been challenging due to the absence of highly sensitive and real-time in situ monitoring tools. Consequently, it is crucial to develop effective and accurate detection methods for HNO.

In recent years, next-generation high-throughput sequencing technology has been widely used in clinical practice for the identification and diagnosis of Mendelian diseases as an auxiliary detection method. Nevertheless, due to the limitations in read length and poor coverage of complex genomic regions, the etiology of many genetic diseases is unclear. Long-read sequencing (LRS) addresses these limitations of next-generation sequencing.

Background: Cachexia is associated with multiple adverse outcomes in cancer. However, clinical decision-making for oncology patients at the cachexia stage presents significant challenges.
Objective: This study aims to develop a machine learning (ML) model to identify potentially reversible cancer cachexia (PRCC).
