A generation ago thrombolytic therapy led to a paradigm shift in myocardial infarction (MI), from Q-wave/non-Q-wave to ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI) vs non-STEMI. Using STE on the electrocardiogram (ECG) as a surrogate marker for acute coronary occlusion (ACO) allowed for rapid diagnosis and treatment. But the vast research catalyzed by the STEMI paradigm has revealed increasing anomalies: 25% of "non-STEMI" have ACO with delayed reperfusion and higher mortality. Studying these limitations has given rise to the occlusion MI (OMI) paradigm, based on the presence or absence of ACO in the patient rather than STE on ECG. The OMI paradigm shift harnesses advanced ECG interpretation aided by artificial intelligence, complementary bedside echocardiography and advanced imaging, and clinical signs of refractory ischemia, and offers the next opportunity to transform emergency cardiology and improve patient care. This State-of-the-Art Review examines the paradigm shifts from Q wave to STEMI to OMI.

The conventional approaches to crop breeding, which rely predominantly on time-consuming and labor-intensive methods such as traditional hybridization and mutation breeding, face challenges in efficiently introducing targeted traits and generating diverse plant populations. Conversely, the emergence of genome editing technologies has ushered in a paradigm shift, enabling the precise and expedited manipulation of plant genomes to intentionally introduce desired characteristics. One of the most widespread editing tools is the CRISPR/Cas system, which has been used by researchers to study important biology-related problems.

Fuel for thought: targeting metabolism in lung cancer.

Transl Lung Cancer Res

December 2024

Department of Medicine and Cancer Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, MA, USA.

For over a century, we have appreciated that the biochemical processes through which micro- and macronutrients are anabolized and catabolized-collectively referred to as "cellular metabolism"-are reprogrammed in malignancies. Cancer cells in lung tumors rewire pathways of nutrient acquisition and metabolism to meet the bioenergetic demands for unchecked proliferation. Advances in precision medicine have ushered in routine genotyping of patient lung tumors, enabling a deeper understanding of the contribution of altered metabolism to tumor biology and patient outcomes.

Dow Centre for Sustainable Engineering Innovation, School of Chemical Engineering, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, QLD 4072, Australia.

The global transition to clean energy technologies has escalated the demand for lithium (Li), a critical component in rechargeable Li-ion batteries, highlighting the urgent need for efficient and sustainable Li extraction methods. Nanofiltration (NF)-based separations have emerged as a promising solution, offering selective separation capabilities that could advance resource extraction and recovery. However, an NF-based lithium extraction process differs significantly from conventional water treatment, necessitating a paradigm shift in membrane materials design, performance evaluation metrics, and process optimization.
