Clothianidin is a second-generation neonicotinoid insecticide, widely used against sap-sucking insect pest including melon aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover (Hemiptera: Aphididae). This pest causes severe economic damage to Cucurbitaceae plants worldwide. In this study, we investigated clothianidin resistance development under continuous selection pressure. Moreover, the age-stage, two-sex life table approach was used to evaluate the impact of clothianidin resistance on the fitness of A. gossypii. A clothianidin resistant strain (CT-R) with a 23.17-fold resistance level was developed from a susceptible strain (CT-S) after continuous selection for 24 generations. Life table results showed a significant reduction in the relative fitness (0.847) of CT-R strain compared to the CT-S strain of A. gossypii. The developmental duration, oviposition days, total pre-oviposition period (TPOP), longevity, and fecundity of CT-R strain were found to be significantly lower when compared to CT-S strain. The demographic parameters, including the intrinsic rate of increase (r), finite rate of increase (λ), net reproductive rate (R0), and mean generation time (T) were also significantly decreased in CT-R strain compared to the CT-S strain. Both the reproductive and survival rates were affected by clothianidin resistance in CT-R strain compared with the CT-S strain of A. gossypii. Overall, our results demonstrate that in-depth knowledge about the trade-off at play between resistance degree and fitness cost might be useful to design resistance management strategies against A. gossypii.

Molecular insights into the evolutionary trajectory of a clinical isolate with a complex trade-off between resistance and virulence.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares three bacterial strains from the same patient to understand how antimicrobial resistance affects evolution and fitness, specifically focusing on a resistant strain's genetic changes.
- Whole-genome sequencing revealed that resistance to antibiotics like piperacillin-tazobactam and extended-spectrum cephalosporins was due to specific genetic mutations and loss of genes, but all strains had similar virulence levels in a mouse model.
- The research suggests that while resistance mutations can arise, they may come with fitness costs that limit their successful spread in clinical settings, potentially explaining why certain resistant types are rarely observed in practice.
Artificial Intelligence-Enhanced Risk Stratification of Cancer Therapeutics-Related Cardiac Dysfunction Using Electrocardiographic Images.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers evaluated the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) applied to electrocardiograms (ECG) to predict cardiac dysfunction related to cancer treatments, aiming to develop a more scalable risk stratification method.
- In a study involving 1,550 patients treated with anthracyclines and/or trastuzumab, the AI model classified patients into low, intermediate, and high-risk groups based on their baseline ECG images.
- The findings revealed that patients in the high-risk group had significantly higher incidents of cardiac dysfunction within a year post-treatment, highlighting the effectiveness of AI-ECG in identifying those at greater risk for complications.
Left Atrial Strain in Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children and Associations with Systemic Inflammation and Cardiac Injury.
Pediatr Cardiol

Division of Pediatric Cardiology, Department of Pediatrics, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the use of left atrial strain (LAS) in children with multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C) and its relation to cardiac injury and inflammation.
- Results showed that LAS parameters were significantly lower in MIS-C patients compared to healthy controls and those with cardiac injury had even more reduced LAS metrics.
- The findings suggest that LAS could be a reliable diagnostic tool for detecting cardiac dysfunction in MIS-C and correlates with inflammatory markers, highlighting its potential use in clinical settings.
Background: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) commonly involves cardiac injury with both systolic and diastolic dysfunction. Left atrial strain (LAS) detects subclinical diastolic dysfunction in adults but is infrequently used in children. We evaluated LAS in MIS-C and the associations with systemic inflammation and cardiac injury.

Background: In this study, we investigate the utility of geometric orifice area (GOA) on cardiac computed tomography (CT) and differences from effective orifice area (EOA) on Doppler echocardiography in patients with bicuspid aortic stenosis (AS).
Methods: A total of 163 patients (age 64 ± 10 years, 56.4% men) with symptomatic bicuspid AS who were referred for surgery and underwent both cardiac CT and echocardiography within 3 months were studied.
