Pressed chromium-powder cyclotron targets were irradiated with 16MeV protons, producing Mn with average yields of 6.2±0.8MBq/µAh. Separation by solid-phase anion exchange from ethanol-HCl mixtures recovered 94.3±1.7% of Mn and reduced the chromium content by a factor of 2.2±0.4×10. An additional AG 1-X8 column was used to remove copper, iron, cobalt and zinc impurities from the prepared Mn in 8M HCl. The macrocyclic chelator DOTA was rapidly radiolabeled with Mn in aq. ammonium acetate (pH 7.5R.T.) with a radiochemical yield >99% within 1min and was stable for >2 days in bovine serum. The improved separation and purification methodology facilitates the use of Mn in basic science and preclinical investigations.

Purpose: Accurate detection of central venous catheter (CVC) misplacement is crucial for patient safety and effective treatment. Existing artificial intelligence (AI) often grapple with the limitations of label inaccuracies and output interpretations that lack clinician-friendly comprehensibility. This study aims to introduce an approach that employs segmentation of support material and anatomy to enhance the precision and comprehensibility of CVC misplacement detection.

Objectives: Gadopiclenol is a q = 2 pyclen gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration, European Medicines Agency, and other European countries. The aim of this report is to demonstrate its stability in multiple stressed in vitro conditions and in vivo, in rat kidney, while maintaining its higher relaxivity compared with conventional GBCAs on the market.
Materials And Methods: Both gadopiclenol and its chemical precursor Pi828-Gd were characterized and compared with q = 1 gadolinium (Gd) complexes.

In recent years, the deep learning (DL) technique has rapidly developed and shown great success in scoring the protein-ligand binding affinities. The protein-ligand conformation optimization based on DL-derived scoring functions holds broad application prospects, for instance, drug design and enzyme engineering. In this study, we evaluated the robustness of a DL-based ligand conformation optimization protocol (DeepRMSD+Vina) for optimizing structures with input perturbations by examining the predicted ligand binding poses and scoring.

Chlorophyll-a (Chla) is recognized as a key indicator of water quality and ecological health in aquatic ecosystems, offering valuable insights into ecosystem dynamics and changes over time. This study aimed to to develop and validate a robust ML model for estimating Chla using Landsat data, produce a time series of Chl a maps, and analyze the spatiotemporal variability of Chla in Chilika Lagoon, Asia's largest brackish water lagoon. Nine ML regression models, including Extreme Gradient Boost, Support Vector Regression, Random Forest, and Bagging Regression, were evaluated using Landsat imagery and field data.
