Article Abstract
We present the results of our tenth annual horizon scan. We identified 15 emerging priority topics that may have major positive or negative effects on the future conservation of global biodiversity, but currently have low awareness within the conservation community. We hope to increase research and policy attention on these areas, improving the capacity of the community to mitigate impacts of potentially negative issues, and maximise the benefits of issues that provide opportunities. Topics include advances in crop breeding, which may affect insects and land use; manipulations of natural water flows and weather systems on the Tibetan Plateau; release of carbon and mercury from melting polar ice and thawing permafrost; new funding schemes and regulations; and land-use changes across Indo-Malaysia.

Background And Objectives: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) allows evaluation of inter-eye differences (IEDs) in macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thicknesses to identify unilateral optic nerve involvement (UONI). UONI supports dissemination in space (DIS) as part of the 2024 revised McDonald diagnostic criteria for multiple sclerosis (MS). The OSCAR-IB quality control (QC) criteria identify suboptimal-quality OCT scans, which could potentially result in false-positive or false-negative UONI identification.

Introduction: Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with ligands for synaptic vesicle glycoprotein 2A (SV2A) has emerged as a promising methodology for measuring synaptic density in Alzheimer's disease (AD). We investigated the relationship between SV2A PET and CSF synaptic protein changes of AD patients.
Method: Twenty-one participants with early AD and seven cognitively normal (CN) individuals underwent [C]UCB-J PET.

Introduction: This study investigated quality of life (QoL) and its role in treatment decision making among patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase ()+ NSCLC.
Methods: Adult patients with self-reported + NSCLC residing in the United States from the Lung Cancer Registry from GO2 for Lung Cancer were included. Measures included a core patient survey derived from Quality of Life Questionnaire - Core 30 items (QLQ-C30) and QLQ - lung cancer module 29 items domains and an NSCLC module (ALK module).

Antarctica, long considered an environmental sanctuary, now confronts accelerating, complex and inter-related conservation challenges. The vast size and remote location of the continent introduce substantial uncertainty in understanding and predicting these threats. Here, using strategic foresight techniques, we synthesized insights from a global horizon scan with 131 experts from 42 countries.

Cardiac fibrosis following myocardial infarction plays a critical role in the formation of scar tissue and contributes to ventricular arrhythmias, including ventricular tachycardia and sudden cardiac death. Current clinical diagnostics use electrical and structural markers, but lack precision due to low spatial resolution and absence of molecular information. In this paper, we employed line scan Raman microspectroscopy to classify sheep myocardial tissue into muscle, necrotic, granulated, and fibrotic tissue types, using collagen as a molecular biomarker.
