A Case of Pulmonary Fibrosis and COVID-19-Related Pneumonia in a Pembrolizumab-Treated Patient by Alberto Zolezzi, Gina Gualano, Annelisa Mastrobattista, Pietro Vittozzi, Virginia Di Bari, Carlotta Cerva, Silvia Mosti, Antonio Lugini, Fabrizio Albarello, Federica Di Stefano, Maria Beatrice Valli, Fabrizio Palmieri

“…Blocking immune checkpoints may conversely augment dysfunctional T-cell responses in severe patients and, in turn, mediate immunopathology. Here, we present a case of SARS-CoV-2 infection complicated by acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and a fibrotic-like pattern in a patient treated with pembrolizumab for lung cancer. …”

Enhanced Spatial Clustering for Crime Analysis: Novel Advances in Ward-Like and SKATER Algorithms for Brazilian Public Security by Raydonal Ospina, Alexsandra Gomes De Lima, Cristiano Ferraz, Cecilia Castro, Carlos Martin-Barreiro, Victor Leiva

“…This study investigates how spatially constrained clustering can reveal actionable crime patterns to support public security planning. Using neighbourhood–level crime records for Recife, Brazil (2007–2015), we present new versions of two established methods —Ward–like hierarchical clustering and the graph-based spatial kluster analysis by tree edge removal (SKATER) algorithm– designed to: (i) enforce geographical contiguity and (ii) handle mixed (qualitative and quantitative) variable types through the Gower dissimilarity. …”
