Gastroesophageal cancers (GECs) represent a significant clinical challenge. For early resectable GEC, the integration of immune checkpoint inhibitors into the perioperative chemotherapy and chemoradiation treatment paradigms are being explored and showing promising results. Frontline management of metastatic GEC is exploring the role of targeted therapies beyond PD-1 inhibitors, including anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 agents, Claudin 18.2 inhibitors, and FGFR2 inhibitors, which have shown considerable efficacy in recent trials. Looking ahead, ongoing trials and emerging technologies such as bispecific antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, and adoptive cell therapies like chimeric antigen receptor T cells are expected to define the future of GEC management. These advancements signify a paradigm shift toward personalized and immunotherapy-based approaches, offering the potential for improved outcomes and reduced toxicity for patients with GEC.

Recruits are exposed to high levels of psychological and physical stress during the special forces selection period, resulting in dropout rates of up to 80%. To identify who likely drops out, we assessed a group of 249 recruits, every week of the selection program, on their self-efficacy, motivation, experienced psychological and physical stress, and recovery. Using linear regression as well as state-of-the-art machine learning techniques, we aimed to build a model that could meaningfully predict dropout while remaining interpretable.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a cornerstone of medical diagnostics, providing high-quality soft tissue contrast through non-invasive methods. However, MRI technology faces critical limitations in imaging speed and resolution. Prolonged scan times not only increase patient discomfort but also contribute to motion artifacts, further compromising image quality.

Model-based diagnosis (MBD) is a critical problem in artificial intelligence. Recent advancements have made it possible to address this challenge using methods like deep learning. However, current approaches that use deep learning for MBD often struggle with accuracy and computation time due to the limited diagnostic information provided by a single observation.

Cyclodextrins can serve as carriers for various payloads, utilizing their capacity to form unique host-guest inclusion complexes within their cavity and their versatile surface functionalization. Recently, cationic cyclodextrins have gained considerable attention, as they can improve drug permeability across negatively charged cell membranes and efficiently condense negatively charged nucleic acid due to electrostatic interactions. This review focuses on state-of-the-art and recent advances in the construction of cationic cyclodextrin-based delivery systems.

The advancement of neural radiance fields (NeRFs) has facilitated the high-quality 3D reconstruction of complex scenes. However, for most NeRFs, reconstructing 3D tissues from endoscopy images poses significant challenges due to the occlusion of soft tissue regions by invalid pixels, deformations in soft tissue, and poor image quality, which severely limits their application in endoscopic scenarios. To address the above issues, we propose a novel framework to reconstruct high-fidelity soft tissue scenes from low-quality endoscopic images.
