Objective: To investigate whether dual tissue-defined ischemic attacks, defined as multiple diffusion-weighted imaging lesions of different age and/or arterial territory (dual DWI), are an independent and stronger predictor of 90-day stroke than dual clinical TIAs (dual TIA).
Methods: Consecutive patients with clinically defined TIA were enrolled and assessed clinically and by MRI within 3 days. The predictive ability of the ABCD clinical factors, dual TIA, and dual DWI was evaluated by means of multivariate logistic regression.
Results: Among 658 patients who were included in the study and completed 90 days of follow-up, a total of 70 patients (10.6%) experienced subsequent stroke by 90 days. Multivariate logistic regression indicated that dual DWI was an independent predictor for subsequent stroke (odds ratio 4.64, 95% confidence interval 2.15-10.01), while dual TIA was not (odds ratio 1.18, 95% confidence interval 0.69-2.01). C statistics was higher when the item of dual TIA in ABCD3-I score was replaced by dual DWI (0.759 vs 0.729, p = 0.035). The net reclassification value for 90-day stroke risk was also improved (continuous net reclassification improvement 0.301, p = 0.017).
Conclusion: Dual DWI independently predicted future stroke in patients with TIA. A new ABCD3-I score with dual DWI instead of dual clinical TIA may improve risk stratification for early stroke risk after TIA.

Dynamic Covalent Spiropyran Exchange for Rapid Structural Diversification.
Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

Department of Chemistry, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Brook-Taylor-Str. 2, 12489, Berlin, Germany.
Here we disclose that spiropyrans are able to undergo dynamic covalent exchange via their corresponding merocyanine isomers. In the latter, the indolinium moieties can be exchanged by a Michael-type addition-elimination sequence, in which a methylene indoline attacks a merocyanine and subsequently the initial indoline fragment is cleaved. The rate and position of the exchange equilibrium strongly depend on the reaction conditions as well as the substitution pattern on the methylene indoline fragments.

Background: Histological grade is an acknowledged prognostic factor for breast cancer, essential for determining clinical treatment strategies and prognosis assessment. Our study aims to establish intra- and peritumoral radiomics models using T2WI and DWI MR sequences for predicting the histological grade of breast cancer.
Methods: 700 breast cancer cases who had MRI scans before surgery were included.
Correlation reconstruction mechanism based on dual wavelength imaging and neural network.
Sci Rep

University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Shanghai, 200093, China.
In a natural light-field imaging scene, lighting is usually performed using a mixed light field of multiple wavelengths. To better meet the requirements of human vision, this study proposes a correlation reconstruction method based on dual-wavelength imaging and a neural network (compression sensing correlation fusion-reconstruction by dual-wavelength imaging and auto-encoder neural network, CSCFR-DWI-AENN). Two different wavelengths of light are mixed through an optical multiplexer unit (OMU) to form a dual-wavelength illumination light field, and the light intensity value reflected by the object is received by the detector.

Background And Purpose: Ischemic stroke is the most common type of stroke and the second leading cause of global mortality. Prompt and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. Non-contrast CT (NCCT) scans are commonly employed as the first-line imaging modality to identify the infarct lesion and affected brain areas, as well as to make prognostic predictions to guide the subsequent treatment planning.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of dual-parametric and multi-parametric imaging techniques in diagnosing bladder cancer using the Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) through a retrospective analysis.
- A total of 215 bladder cancer patients were analyzed, with imaging data evaluated by two blinded radiologists, who compared the diagnostic performance of dual and multi-parametric VI-RADS scoring systems.
- Results showed no significant differences in diagnostic effectiveness between the two systems, with both demonstrating strong agreement, indicating their reliability for detecting bladder cancer in patients.
