Radioactive brain injury, a severe complication ensuing from radiotherapy for head and neck malignancies, frequently manifests as cognitive impairment and substantially diminishes patients' quality of life. Despite its profound impact, the pathogenesis of this condition remains inadequately elucidated, and efficacious treatments are notably absent in clinical practice. Consequently, contemporary interventions predominantly focus on symptom alleviation rather than achieving a radical cure or reversing the injury process.

This study developed an electrochemical impedance combined with sensory evaluation method to achieve real-time imaging and quality assessment of pork. The optimal parameters for pork detection were determined through system performance tests and a Design of Experiment, which included the use of an adjacent excitation pattern, an excitation current of 15 mA at 10 kHz, a detector diameter of 5 cm, and stainless-steel electrodes embedded in the pork.

Karst ecosystems often contain extraordinary biodiversity, but the complex underground aquifers of karst regions present challenges for assessing and conserving stygobiont diversity and investigating their evolutionary history. We examined the karst-obligate salamanders of the species complex in the Edwards Plateau region of central Texas using population genomics data to address questions about population connectivity and the potential for gene exchange within the underlying aquifer system. The species complex has historically been divided into three nominal species, but their status, and spatial extent of species ranges, have remained uncertain.
