The concept of integrating physics-based and data-driven approaches has become popular for modeling sustainable energy systems. However, the existing literature mainly focuses on the data-driven surrogates generated to replace physics-based models. These models often trade accuracy for speed but lack the generalizability, adaptability, and interpretability inherent in physics-based models, which are often indispensable in modeling real-world dynamic systems for optimization and control purposes.

Background: With neck, aging the cervicomental angle becomes obtuse and may be influenced by hyoid bone aging. An understanding of hyoid position changes with aging will further our understanding of its role in neck contour changes.

Methods: A 3D volumetric reconstruction of 282 neck computed tomography scans was performed.

Article Synopsis
  • Ultra-high dose rate FLASH radiotherapy shows promise in reducing toxicity to normal tissues compared to standard proton radiotherapy while maintaining effective anti-tumor responses.
  • Research demonstrated that FLASH treatment led to faster recovery and improved survival in mice after whole-abdomen irradiation, linked to enhanced proliferation of stem and progenitor cells for tissue regeneration.
  • The benefits of FLASH are attributed to changes in immune and stromal cell signaling, particularly involving TGF-β and IFN-I pathways, which differ significantly from those activated in standard radiotherapy, thus minimizing side effects.

Article Synopsis
  • - Mastocytosis is a disorder characterized by an abnormal increase of mast cells in one or more organs, with varying symptoms and outcomes; it's classified into cutaneous, systemic, and MC sarcoma types by the WHO.
  • - The disease often involves a specific mutation (D816V) in most systemic mastocytosis cases, affecting life expectancy significantly based on the type, with those having nonadvanced forms generally living near-normal lifespans, while advanced forms have limited life expectancies.
  • - Recently, a group of experts proposed updated diagnostic criteria and classifications for mastocytosis, aiming to unify different classifications from previous organizations to improve research and clinical comparisons.

Sections of Pediatric Emergency Medicine and Gastroenterology (SB Freedman), Departments of Pediatrics and Emergency Medicine, Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the relationship between social behaviors and SARS-CoV-2 test positivity in children under 18 years old during 2020-2022, using data from emergency departments.
  • It found that attending social gatherings increased the chances of testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 in children aged 5-<12 years while in-person daycare/school attendance was linked to a lower risk of positivity across all age groups.
  • Key findings indicated that children's risk of infection was influenced by factors like mask-wearing and exposure to infected contacts, with settings like schools promoting better public health practices, thus lowering risk.

Background: Sudden deaths (SDs) in young people, including competitive athletes, albeit uncommon, are usually attributable to genetic, congenital or acquired cardiovascular conditions. However, it is under-appreciated that mitral valve prolapse (MVP), a relatively common valvular heart disease, is associated with SD in this youthful population.

Methods: Forty-three MVP-related SDs were identified from 2 large cardiovascular registries with pathologic, clinical, and demographic findings reported.

Hepatic sinusoids are highly specialized microcirculatory conduits within the hepatic lobules that facilitate liver functions. The sinusoids can be affected by various disorders, including sinusoidal dilatation, sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), sinusoidal cellular infiltration, perisinusoidal infiltration, and endothelial neoplasms, such as hemangioendothelioma and angiosarcoma. While these disorders, particularly SOS and neoplasms, can be life threatening, their clinical manifestation is often nonspecific.

Utility of CT and MRI in Cardiac Electrophysiology.

Radiographics

September 2024

From the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, Washington University, St. Louis, Mo (S.B.); Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn (N.K., N.Y.T.); Banner University Medical Center, Phoenix, Ariz (M.F.M.); and Department of Radiology, Cardiovascular Imaging, Mayo Clinic, 200 1st Street SW, Rochester, MN 559905 (P.S.R.).

Cardiac electrophysiology involves the diagnosis and management of arrhythmias. CT and MRI play an increasingly important role in cardiac electrophysiology, primarily in preprocedural planning of ablation procedures but also in procedural guidance and postprocedural follow-up. The most common applications include ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF), ablation for ventricular tachycardia (VT), and for planning cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).

Simultaneous p53 and p16 Immunostaining for Molecular Subclassification of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas.

Head Neck Pathol

August 2024

Department of Pathology, University of Turku, Turku University Hospital, D5020, Medisiina D, 5. floor Kiinamyllynkatu 10, Turku, FIN-20520, Finland.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of simultaneous staining for p16 and p53 proteins in categorizing head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) as either HPV-associated or HPV-independent.
  • Researchers stained 31 HNSCC samples for p16 and p53, and used advanced sequencing methods to analyze mutations and HPV presence in some cases.
  • Results showed that most tumors (28 out of 31) could be classified simply based on the staining patterns, with most HPV-A tumors having p16 positivity and wildtype p53, while HPV-I tumors showed p16 negativity and abnormal p53 patterns.
