A method for producing rapid and accurate scalp electroencephalography, evoked potential and current density mapping is described. This method is based on the spherical spline interpolation, which has been validated as the most suitable function for this application. In comparison with the basic algorithm, the proposed technique is accurate and fast: it reduces the computation time by a factor of 10, while preserving the desired precision level. Furthermore, we study the choice of an optimal configuration and number of electrodes in order to produce a good reconstruction of brain electrical activity with this method. The implementation and application of this enhanced method in a three-dimensional brain mapping system is shown.

Despite the acknowledged merits of precision oncology (PO) and its increasing global implementation, its full potential for advancing care and prevention remains unrealized. The benefits are currently accessible to only limited patient segments because of multifaceted barriers. Successful implementation hinges on various factors-scientific complexities not limited to technical, clinical, regulatory, economic, administrative, and health care policy-related challenges.

Rationale: Although the guidelines generally omit routine antibiotic prophylaxis for diagnostic bronchoscopy, this recommendation is primarily based on studies with relatively small sample sizes conducted at single institutions. Moreover, the applicability of recent technical and procedural advancements to these guidelines remains uncertain.
Objectives: To evaluate whether oral prophylactic antibiotic administration for diagnostic bronchoscopy reduces post-bronchoscopy infections among non-infectious diseases in the current setting.
Informing Planetary Protection Policies for the Future Exploration of Ceres: State of Understanding after the Dawn Mission.

Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, USA.
We review the current state of understanding of Ceres as it relates to planetary protection policy for future landed missions, including for sample return, to the dwarf planet. The Dawn mission found Ceres to be an intriguing target for a mission, with evidence for the presence of regional, possibly extensive liquid at depth, and local expressions of recent and potentially ongoing activity. The Dawn mission also found a high abundance of carbon in the regolith, interpreted as a mix of carbonates and amorphous carbon, as well as locally high concentrations of organic matter.

AI based software, including computer aided detection software for chest radiographs (CXR-CAD), was developed during the pandemic to improve COVID-19 case finding and triage. In high burden TB countries, the use of highly portable CXR and computer aided detection software has been adopted more broadly to improve the screening and triage of individuals for TB, but there is little evidence in these settings regarding COVID-19 CAD performance. We performed a multicenter, retrospective cross-over study evaluating CXRs from individuals at risk for COVID-19.
