The Role of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in the Evaluation of Patients Presenting with Suspected or Confirmed Acute Coronary Syndrome by Loren P. Budge, Michael Salerno

“…For those with confirmed myocardial infarction (MI), CMR provides comprehensive prognostic information and can readily diagnose structural complications related to MI. Furthermore, the pattern of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) seen on CMR can help determine the etiology of cardiac injury in the subset of patients presenting with ACS who do not have obstructive coronary artery disease by angiography.…”

Comprehensive evaluation of the vector magnetic field data from Macau Science Satellite-1A by XinYi Rang, Chao Xiong, YuYang Huang, ChunYu Xu, FengJue Wang, BoHao Qian, Fan Yin, SiShan Song, Keke Zhang, PengFei Liu

“…Moreover, the magnetic residuals from MSS-1A show a diamagnetic effect caused by post-sunset equatorial plasma bubbles, which also suggests that the MSS-1A data have the potential to reveal the ionospheric structures. The comprehensive evaluations performed within this study demonstrate that the MSS-1A provides high-quality magnetic field data reaching the level of the Swarm satellite, which enables a deeper understanding of the modeling of Earth’s magnetic field as well as monitoring of the magnetic environment.…”

Defining Rural Types Nearby Large Cities from the Perspective of Urban–Rural Integration: A Case Study of Xi’an Metropolitan Area, China by Xiji Jiang, Jiaxin Sun, Tianzi Zhang, Qian Li, Yan Ma, Wen Qu, Dan Ye, Zhendong Lei

“…A clustering algorithm enhanced by the random forest (RF)–principal component analysis (PCA)–partitioning around medoids (PAM) method is applied to evaluate rural integration comprehensively. Key findings in this study include the following: (i) URI should be decoupled from administrative divisions, considering the complex impacts of multi-town functional spillover; (ii) ecological environment, economic development, public service allocation, and construction land supply are key factors influencing URI; (iii) the overall URI index in the Xi’an metropolitan area presents a “high in the center, low in the east and west” pattern. …”

Europe's adaptation to the energy crisis: reshaped gas supply–transmission–consumption structures and driving factors from 2022 to 2024 by C. Zhou, B. Zhu, A. Halff, A. Halff, S. J. Davis, Z. Liu, S. Bowring, S. B. Arous, P. Ciais

“…Total gas consumption fell by 19.0 %, which was driven by (1) consumer behavioral changes in household heating (contributed to 29 % of the total reduction; the following numbers are also percentage contributions to the total reduction); (2) drops in industrial production (25 %); (3) heating drops due to the warmer winter temperatures (11 %); (4) shifts towards renewable electricity including wind, solar, and hydro (10 %); (5) a decline in gas-powered electricity generation (9 %); (6) adoption of energy-efficient heat pumps for industrial gas heating (4 %); (7) shifts towards non-renewable electricity including coal, oil, and nuclear (1 %); and (8) other unmodeled factors (11 %). We evaluated the benefits and costs associated with these pattern changes and discussed whether these changes would potentially lead to long-term structural changes in the EU energy dynamics. …”

Prognostic value of tertiary lymphoid structures in triple-negative breast cancer: integrated analysis with the tumor microenvironment and clinicopathological features by Florence Boissière-Michot, Marie-Christine Chateau, Simon Thézenas, Virginie Lafont, Evelyne Crapez, Evelyne Crapez, Priyanka Sharma, Angélique Bobrie, Angélique Bobrie, Pascal Roger, Séverine Guiu, Séverine Guiu, William Jacot, William Jacot, William Jacot, William Jacot

“…BackgroundIn triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), the most immunogenic breast cancer type, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are an independent prognostic factor. Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are an important TILs source, but they are not integrated in the current prognostic criteria.MethodsIn this retrospective study, TLS were assessed in hematein-eosin-saffron-stained (HES) histological sections from 397 early, chemotherapy-naive TNBC samples after primary surgical resection. …”
