Objective: To evaluate the prenatal and perinatal outcome of fetuses with extremely large nuchal translucency (eNT) thickness (≥ 6.5 mm).
Methods: 193 (0.61%) singleton fetuses with eNT were retrospectively included. Anomaly scan, echocardiography, and chromosomal and genetic test were included in our antenatal investigation. Postnatal follow-up was offered to all newborns.
Results: Major congenital anomalies included congenital heart defect (32.6%, 63/193), hydrops fetalis (13.5%, 26/193), omphalocele (9.3%, 18/193), and skeletal dysplasia (7.8%, 15/193) et al. Abnormal karyotype was identified in 81/115 (70.4%) cases including Turner syndrome (n = 47), Trisomy 18 (n = 17), Trisomy 21 (n = 9), and Trisomy 13 (n = 3). Chromosomal microarray analysis provided informative results with 3.6% (1/28) incremental diagnostic yield over conventional karyotyping. The diagnostic yield of exome sequencing is 10.0% (2/20). There was no significant increase [Odds Ratio (OR) = 1.974; 95% confidence interval 0.863-4.516; P = 0.104] in the incidence of chromosomal defects despite the presence of other structural anomalies. Only 13 fetuses were successfully followed up and survived at term, no one was found with developmental delay or mental retardation.
Conclusions: Extremely large NT has a high risk of chromosomal abnormality. CMA and ES improve chromosomal genomic and genetic diagnosis of fetal increased NT. When cytogenetic analysis and morphology assessment are both normal, the outcome is good.

The aircraft can experience complex environments during the flight. For the random actions, the traditional Gaussian white noise assumption may not be sufficient to depict the realistic stochastic loads on the wing structures. Considering fluctuations with extreme conditions, Lévy noise is a better candidate describing the stochastic dynamical behaviors on the airfoil models.

Lithology classification is crucial for efficient and sustainable resource exploration in the oil and gas industry. Missing values in well-log data, such as Gamma Ray (GR), Neutron Porosity (NPHI), Bulk Density (RHOB), Deep Resistivity (RS), Delta Time Compressional (DTCO), Delta Time Shear (DTSM), and Resistivity Deep (RD), significantly affect machine learning classification accuracy. This study applied three algorithms, extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), K-nearest neighbours (KNN), and the artificial neural network (ANN), to handle missing values in well-log datasets, particularly datasets with extreme missing data (30 %).

Background: The stone-dwelling genus Blastococcus plays a key role in ecosystems facing extreme conditions such as drought, salinity, alkalinity, and heavy metal contamination. Despite its ecological significance, little is known about the genomic factors underpinning its adaptability and resilience in such harsh environments. This study investigates the genomic basis of Blastococcus's adaptability within its specific microniches, offering insights into its potential for biotechnological applications.
