Background And Purpose: In ischemic stroke, diffusion-weighted (DW) and perfusion-weighted (PW) magnet resonance imaging (MRI) is used to define the mismatch as the therapeutic target. With positron emission tomography (PET), we characterized the metabolic patterns of tissue compartments identified by MRI and compared the volumes of mismatch to those of PET-defined penumbra.
Methods: In 6 acute (median, 5.2 hours) and 7 chronic (median, 10 days) stroke patients in whom a mismatch was defined by PW/DW MRI, PET was performed (median, 120-minute delay). Cerebral blood flow (CBF), oxygen metabolism (CMRO2), and oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) was determined in the areas of DWI lesion, mismatch, and oligemia. Then, the mismatch volume was compared with the volume of penumbra.
Results: DWI lesions showed impaired tissue integrity (low CMRO2 and low OEF). Mismatch areas were viable (normal CMRO2) but showed largely varying OEF. Oligemic areas had metabolic patterns comparable to normal tissue. A mismatch volume was found in all 13 patients. However, only 8 of 13 had a corresponding penumbra volume that covered only a part of the mismatch.
Conclusions: Our comparative PET/MRI study confirmed the current pathophysiological hypothesis for the DWI lesion and for the oligemic areas. However, the mismatch area did not reliably detect elevated OEF and overestimated the penumbra defined by PET.

Hole transport layer (HTL)-free carbon-based perovskite solar cells (C-PSCs) own outstanding potential for commercial applications due to their attractive advantages of low cost and superior stability. However, the abundant defects and mismatched energy levels at the interface of the perovskite/carbon electrode severely limit the device efficiency and stability. Constructing a 2D layer on the surface of 3D perovskite films to form 2D/3D heterojunctions has been demonstrated to be an effective method of passivating surface defects and optimizing the energy level alignment in almost all kinds of PSCs.

Duck hepatitis A virus type 3 (DHAV-3) is a viral pathogen that causes acute, high-mortality hepatitis in ducklings, and vaccination with attenuated live vaccines is currently the main preventive measure against it. However, differentiating infected from vaccinated animals (DIVA) is crucial for clinical diagnosis and effective disease control. This study aimed to develop a rapid mismatch amplification mutation assay PCR (MAMA-PCR) diagnostic method to simultaneously detect and differentiate between wild-type and vaccine strains.

An effective universal influenza vaccine is urgently needed to overcome the limitations of current seasonal influenza vaccines, which are ineffective against mismatched strains and unable to protect against pandemic influenza. In this study, bovine and human adenoviral vector-based vaccine platforms were utilized to express various combinations of antigens. These included the H5N1 hemagglutinin (HA) stem region or HA2, the extracellular domain of matrix protein 2 of influenza A virus, HA signal peptide (SP), trimerization domain, excretory peptide, and the autophagy-inducing peptide C5 (AIP-C5).

Object detection in images is a fundamental component of many safety-critical systems, such as autonomous driving, video surveillance systems, and robotics. Adversarial patch attacks, being easily implemented in the real world, provide effective counteraction to object detection by state-of-the-art neural-based detectors. It poses a serious danger in various fields of activity.

The e-STROKE study is a prospective, multicenter observational study designed to assess the impact of various CT parameters (including e-ASPECT, CT perfusion (CTP), collateral flow status, and the size and location of the ischemic lesion) on the clinical outcomes of patients with ischemic stroke, as evaluated by the modified Rankins Scale (mRS) three months post-stroke. This study also aims to investigate whether the use of multimodal CT imaging increases the number of patients eligible for recanalization therapy. The analysis will integrate data from the RES-Q registry and radiological data from the e-STROKE system provided by Brainomix Ltd.
