Recommendations for malaria prevention for travelers planning a trip in medium to low risk countries differ between countries, despite the fact that people are exposed to the same risk in the travelled country. Decision aids have been developed and tested in a population of travelers planning a trip in such countries n order to present travelers the various prevention options and involve them in the decision. The use of the decision aid showed that he majority of people choose not to take chemoprophylaxis and that they could motivate their choice with valid reasons. The development of decision aids based on recognized quality criteria is foreseen; these will allow to improving the relevance of the recommendations and enable travelers to choose a prevention option that will be the closest to their values and preferences while following to the principles of medical ethics.

Best Practices for Imaging of Transcatheter Valve Failure: An Update From the Heart Valve Collaboratory.
J Am Coll Cardiol
March 2025
Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, California, USA. Electronic address:
This updated Heart Valve Collaboratory framework addresses the growing concern for transcatheter valve failure (TVF) following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). With the increasing volume of redo-TAV and surgical TAV explantation, there is a critical need for standardized pathways and protocols for evaluating TVF using echocardiography and cardiac computed tomography (CT) angiography. This document clarifies prior definitions of bioprosthetic valve deterioration and bioprosthetic valve failure in a practical, imaging directed context for TAVR.

Imagery from Landsat 8/9 (L89) and Sentinel-2 A/B (S2) was employed to monitor the velocity migration of Sargassum aggregations. The displacement characteristics of these aggregations offer insights that can inform the formulation of preventive strategies and the planning of harvesting operations for the floating biomass. Images L89 and S2 are sometimes acquired the same day and a few minutes apart.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, TX.
Basic science research is vital for advancing the emerging field of bone-anchored limb replacement (BALR), or osseointegration (OI). This article discusses clinical challenges for BALR/OI, summarizes current basic science research regarding those challenges, identifies research gaps, and proposes future directions. OI research draws from related fields such as orthopaedic implants and dentistry.

[F]FDG PET/CT is the most widely used PET radiopharmaceutical in oncology, but it is not exempt of diagnostic limitations. FAPI have emerged as a great tool in the management of several different solid tumours in which [F]FDG is not able to provide enough information. The aim of this work was to evaluate the available evidence on diagnostic and therapeutic applications of PET/CT with FAPI radiopharmaceuticals.

Department of Urology, Erasmus MC Cancer Institute, Rotterdam, Netherlands. Electronic address:
Introduction: Treatment patterns for patients with bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-unresponsive high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) who are ineligible for or decline radical cystectomy (RC) are inconsistently reported. We retrospectively described demographic, clinical, and treatment characteristics for these patients and assessed their clinical outcomes.
Patients And Methods: Medical charts of patients with BCG-unresponsive high-risk NMIBC (carcinoma in situ [cohort A] or T1/high-grade Ta [cohort B]) who were ineligible for or declined RC documented between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2018, at 15 academic centers were reviewed.
