Global forebrain ischemia in the Mongolian gerbil is a common animal model for use in stroke research. We produced lesions of graded severity in gerbil brains (after prescreening by MR imaging) by performing 6-minute bilateral carotid artery occlusions while monitoring pericranial temperature with a temporalis muscle thermocouple probe and maintaining the temperature at 32 degrees C, 36 degrees C, or 40 degrees C. Lesion severity was scored 4 days after occlusion from findings on spin-echo images acquired at 7 T and from histologic scores. Statistically significant correlation was observed between the MR imaging score and brain temperature and between the MR imaging score and the area of the CA region of the hippocampus measured by histology. In addition, because prescreening with MR imaging revealed abnormalities in the hippocampus of some of the animals, and these animals were rejected from the study, the statistical significance of the result could be strengthened.

Splenomegaly is a quite common clinical feature of Philadelphia (Ph) negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) and its presence may, in some cases, drives treatment decision. Most importantly, palpable splenomegaly is a minor criterion for both pre-fibrotic/early primary myelofibrosis and primary myelofibrosis (PMF) diagnosis, even if clinical assessment by physical examination is poorly reliable and accurate. On the other hand, despite the International Working Group-Myeloproliferative Neoplasms Research and Treatment and European LeukemiaNet guidelines defined spleen response criteria by palpation, they also recognized the highly subjective nature of spleen size assessment by physical examination, and recommended objective confirmation of volume reduction via computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Anode free concepts are gaining traction in battery research. To improve cyclability, a better understanding of the deposition processes and morphologies is necessary. Correlative experiments enable a link between a variety of properties obtained, such as chemical, mechanical or electrochemical data.

For 2 decades, the American Society of Clinial Oncology-College of American Pathologists human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) testing criteria have included 0 and 1+ scores, but this distinction was inconsequential. Now, based on the DESTINY Breast-04 Trial (DB-04) results, for patients with metastatic breast cancer it underpins eligibility for trastuzumab-deruxtecan treatment. Discerning 0 from 1+ immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining is challenging, as HER2 low is not a biologically distinct cancer subset, there are no reference standards or controls, and second-tier tests (eg, in situ hybridization) do not apply.

The batch effect is a nonbiological variation that arises from technical differences across different batches of data during the data generation process for acquisition-related reasons, such as collection of images at different sites or using different scanners. This phenomenon can affect the robustness and generalizability of computational pathology- or radiology-based cancer diagnostic models, especially in multicenter studies. To address this issue, we developed an open-source platform, Batch Effect Explorer (BEEx), that is designed to qualitatively and quantitatively determine whether batch effects exist among medical image datasets from different sites.

Clinicians face increasing workloads in medical imaging interpretation, and artificial intelligence (AI) offers potential relief. This meta-analysis evaluates the impact of human-AI collaboration on image interpretation workload. Four databases were searched for studies comparing reading time or quantity for image-based disease detection before and after AI integration.
