Article Abstract

Phosphorus (P) transport in subsurface runoff has increased despite the limited mobility of P in soils. This study investigated the ability of the non-ideal competitive adsorption (NICA) model to describe phosphate (PO(4)) adsorption for soils in southern Quebec (Canada). We measured the surface charge and PO(4) adsorption capacity for 11 agricultural soils. Using the experimental data and a nonlinear fitting function, we derived the NICA model parameters. We found that the NICA model described accurately the surface charge of these soils with a mean R(2)>0.99, and described the adsorption data with a mean R(2)=0.96. We also found that the variable surface charge was distributed over the two binding sites with the low pH sites demonstrating a stronger binding energy for hydroxyl and PO(4) ions. We established that the NICA model is able to describe P adsorption for the soils considered in this study.

Preliminary Study on the Evaluation Value of Extracellular Volume Fraction in the Pathological Grading of Lung Invasive Adenocarcinoma.

Curr Med Imaging

August 2025

Department of Radiology, Fuwai Central China Cardiovascular Hospital, Henan Provincial Key Laboratory of Cardiology Medical Imaging, Zhengzhou, Henan 450003, China.

Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value of extracellular volume fraction (ECV) and spectral CT parameters in assessing the pathological grading of lung invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC) presenting as solid or subsolid nodules.

Methods: A retrospective collection of patients who were pathologically confirmed as IAC with solid or subsolid pulmonary nodules at our hospital from March 2023 to November 2024 was conducted. Relevant data were recorded, and the patients were divided into two groups: intermediate/high differentiation and low differentiation.

: Vitamin D deficiency is linked to adverse outcomes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Limited data exist on how vitamin D levels vary by disease severity during acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPDs). This study aimed to determine whether the vitamin D status during AECOPDs-alongside inflammatory and hematological biomarkers-is associated with COPD severity.

Background And Objectives: Rectal cancer management increasingly relies on watch-and-wait strategies after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT). Accurate, non-invasive prediction of pathological complete response (pCR) remains elusive. Emerging evidence suggests that gut-microbiome composition modulates radio-chemosensitivity.
