From support to recovery: the evolving role of LVAD in reversing heart failure by Bingqi Sun, Zhigang Liu

“…Despite promising prospective studies reporting LVAD explantation rates exceeding 48–60% in BTR-focused cohorts, real-world registries (e.g., INTERMACS) demonstrate explantation rates below 5%, underscoring critical gaps in patient selection, standardized assessment protocols, and integration of optimized pharmacological and mechanical unloading strategies. …”

Evidence for a constant occipital spotlight of attention using MVPA on EEG data. by María Melcón, Sander van Bree, Yolanda Sánchez-Carro, Laura Barreiro-Fernández, Luca D Kolibius, Elisabet Alzueta, Maria Wimber, Almudena Capilla, Simon Hanslmayr

“…While traditional behavioural and electroencephalographic studies claim that visuospatial attention stays fixed at one location at a time, recent research has rather shown that attention rhythmically fluctuates between locations at different rates. However, little is known about the temporal dynamics of this fluctuation and whether it changes over time. …”

Sea-level rise drives changes in salinisation patterns in low-lying Bangladesh by Sean E. Feist, Mohammad A. Hoque, Md. Atikul Islam, Ashraf Dewan, Mike Fowler

“…The steeper offshore gradient reduces tidal amplification, fostering dense tidal creek networks with slower flushing rates. These offshore controls, coupled with declining freshwater inflows, contribute to salinity entrapment in estuarine systems and persistent groundwater salinisation. …”

Functional adaptations of the rhizosphere microbiome for drought-tolerance promotion in common bean by Ana Vitória Reina da Silva, Izadora de Cássia Mesquita Cunha, Thierry Alexandre Pellegrinetti, Eduardo Henrique Marcandalli Boleta, Luis Felipe Guandalin Zagatto, Solange dos Santos Silva Zagatto, Caroline Sayuri Nishisaka, Teresa Maria Lorizolla Mafra, Camila Maistro Patreze, Gordon F. Custer, Francisco Dini-Andreote, Rodrigo Mendes, Siu Mui Tsai, Lucas William Mendes

“…Here, we investigated the rhizosphere microbiomes of drought-tolerant (BAT477, SEA5) and susceptible (IAC Milênio, IAC-Carioca 80SH) common bean cultivars (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) under contrasting water regimes in mesocosm experiments to assess microbiome functional modulation under drought. Analysis of plant growth, physiological responses, nutrient dynamics, and rhizosphere microbial functional diversity revealed that drought-tolerant cultivars exhibited greater water management, minimal growth reductions, and enrichment of beneficial microbial functions, including genes linked to drought tolerance. …”
