Aims: To describe the sonographic features of active Charcot neuro-osteoarthropathy (CNO) and assess the potential role of ultrasound in identifying those with active CNO.
Methods: Using a prospective case-series study design we assessed the sonographic features of 14 patients with a diagnosis of diabetes presenting with clinical signs and symptoms suspicious for active CNO. Patients had standard weight-bearing plain X-Ray and, where possible, MRI to evaluate the presence of active CNO.

Risk of lung damage from inhaled chemicals or substances has long been assessed using animal models. However, New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) that replace, reduce, and/or refine the use of animals in safety testing such as 2D and 3D cultures are increasingly being used to understand human-relevant toxicity responses and for the assessment of hazard identification. Here we review 2D and 3D lung models in terms of their application for inhalation toxicity assessment.

The most widely used radiance sensor for monitoring Night Sky Brightness (NSB) is the Sky Quality Meter (SQM), making its measurement stability fundamental. A method using the Sun as a calibrator was applied to analyse the quality of the measures recorded in the Veneto Region (Italy) and at La Silla (Chile). The analysis mainly revealed a tendency toward reductions in measured NSB due to both instrument ageing and atmospheric variations.

The Amazon region has the largest hydrographic basin in the world. The rivers act as roads, and boats serve as vehicles for transporting passengers and cargo to large urban centers, municipalities, riverside communities, villages, and settlements. The Amazon River transportation system faces critical gaps due to the lack of land infrastructure in certain areas, which makes rivers essential for commerce and access to isolated communities.

Refractive index (RI) and temperature (T) are both critical environmental parameters for environmental monitoring, food production, and medical testing. The paper develops a D-shaped photonic crystal fiber (PCF) sensor to measure RI and T simultaneously. Its cross-sectional structure encompasses a hexagonal-hole lattice, with one hole selectively filled with toluene for temperature sensing.
