Summary: This study developed a deep learning diagnostic model for hepatocellular nodular lesions which improved the histopathologic diagnosis of these lesions, particularly for early hepatocellular carcinoma and risk stratification of patients. The model showed significant advantages in patch-level recognition, especially for fragmentary or scarce biopsy specimens.

Summary: This study evaluated the sanitary status of two important oyster species in Portugal by examining their histopathology. Parasites were found in both oyster populations, along with tissue pathology. Higher prevalence of diseases was observed in wild populations. Biosecurity measures are crucial for controlling pathogen transmission.

Summary: Kidney histopathologic lesions, including nonproliferative glomerulopathy, diabetic nephropathy, and kidney vascular diseases, are associated with an increased risk of death or major adverse cardiovascular events. Mesangial expansion and arteriolar sclerosis are also linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular events. These findings provide insights into the heart-kidney relationship beyond traditional markers such as eGFR and proteinuria.

Summary: The study found that individual rainfall events in the badlands of SW Taiwan caused quantifiable landscape changes, with typhoon rain reducing hillslope gradients and lower-intensity precipitation either steepening or flattening the landscape. The observed steep topography may be due to the 2016 earthquake.

Summary: This study compared the clinical, dermoscopic, and ultrasonographic features of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) and KS-like lesions. It suggested that dermoscopy and Doppler ultrasonography can be helpful in diagnosing both KS lesions and equivocal KS-like lesions.

Summary: This study reports the histopathologic description of chilblainlike skin lesions appearing during the COVID-19 epidemic, presenting two main histopathologic patterns: chilblainlike histopathologic pattern and thrombotic vasculopathy pattern. No true vasculitis was observed in either pattern, and further investigations are needed to understand the relationship of these lesions to SARS-CoV-2.

Summary: We present a wide-field technique to investigate the transient changes in photoluminescence (PL) of defects on silica surfaces. The technique enables simultaneous spatially resolved PL capture with spontaneous quenching behavior. The quenching of PL intensity is attributed to photochemical reactions of surface defects and/or subsurface fractures with ambient molecules. Our theoretical model accurately reproduces the quenching curves, using two quenchable defect populations with different reaction rates. The spatial correlation of the fitting parameters with fractures in silica suggests regions prone to laser-induced damage growth, providing a rapid and non-destructive prediction of laser-induced damage growth.

Summary: During monitoring of motor evoked potentials (MEP) elicited by transcranial electrical stimulation (TES), false-positive results with significant MEP changes but without postoperative deterioration of motor function were observed in patients who underwent resection of supratentorial lesions. The study found a false-positive rate of 1.1%, with tumor location in the parietal lobe dorsal to the postcentral gyrus being the only predictor of false-positive results.

Summary: This study investigates the interaction between a metal surface and multiple pulses to achieve optimal focusing conditions during ultrashort laser ablation. Experimental results combined with a theoretical formula demonstrate the ability to control the shape of ablated channels.

Summary: Gully erosion is a common landform in the rolling hilly Mollisols area of northeast China. The gullies in this area are characterized by longer length, narrower width, and shallower depth compared to other regions. This study conducted a detailed field investigation to determine the morphological parameters of the gullies and established an optimized relationship between gully volume and surface area. A topographic threshold model for gully initiation was also established using quantile regression. The findings of this study provide scientific reference for the design and planning of gully erosion control measures in northeast China.

Summary: This study analyzed the data of synchronous multiple gastric neoplasms (SMGN) in patients with early gastric cancer (EGC) treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and found similarities in pathological type and infiltration depth between the main and minor lesions. There was a positive correlation between the diameter size and a linear regression model was constructed. The spatial distribution of the lesions and the gastroscopic morphology were also found to be related.

Summary: This study compared the toxicity of Cr(VI) and Cr(III) to wheat root growth and morphology in Shandong fluvo-aquic soil (SD soil) and Jiangxi red soil (JX soil) with different soil properties. It was found that Cr(VI) was more toxic to wheat roots than Cr(III) in both soils, with a more prominent toxicity difference in SD soil. Soil EDTA-Cr concentration could be used as a predictor of Cr phytotoxicity. Both Cr(VI) and Cr(III) showed significant biphasic dose effects on wheat root morphology in JX soil.

Summary: Mapping river beds to identify water and sandbars is crucial but challenging. Conventional approaches are costly and inflexible, while remote sensing techniques provide a cost-effective solution. This study compared the capabilities of Sentinel-2 and Landsat 9 satellite imagery in mapping water bodies and found them to be consistent and complementary. However, the classification decision values of specific indices are important for accurate information extraction.

Summary: The study aimed to develop a method to relate differences in radiomics features, quantify minimum detectable change in radiomics features, and inform QIBA recommendations for nodule volumetry. Results showed that QIBA protocol recommendations improved minimum detectable differences compared to possible protocols. Further improving slice thickness requirements could enhance minimum detectable differences beyond current QIBA recommendations.
