Article Abstract
Selective therapeutic hypothermia in the setting of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is promising to further improve the outcomes of large vessel occlusion stroke. A significant limitation in applying hypothermia in this setting is the lack of real-time non-invasive brain temperature monitoring mechanism. Non-invasive brain temperature monitoring would provide important information regarding the brain temperature changes during cooling, and the factors that might influence any fluctuations. This review aims to provide appraisal of brain temperature changes during stroke, and the currently available non-invasive modalities of brain temperature measurement that have been developed and tested over the past 20 years. We cover modalities including magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging (MRSI), radiometric thermometry, and microwave radiometry, and the evidence for their accuracy from human and animal studies. We also evaluate the feasibility of using these modalities in the acute stroke setting and potential ways for incorporating brain temperature monitoring in the stroke workflow.

Heat stroke (HS), a life-threatening heat-related disorder, is characterized by a rapid elevation of core body temperature exceeding 40 °C, accompanied by central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). With the escalating impact of global warming, the incidence of HS has risen progressively, posing a significant threat to global health. The CNS is one of the primary target organs in HS, and its injury mechanisms involve intricate interactions among inflammatory cascades, oxidative stress, programmed cell death, and blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption.

Objective: To develop a deep learning method for fast and accurate prediction of Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) distributions in the human head to support real-time hyperthermia treatment planning (HTP) of brain cancer patients.
Approach: We propose an encoder-decoder neural network with cross-attention blocks to predict SAR maps from brain electrical properties, tumor 3D isocenter coordinates and microwave antenna phase settings. A dataset of 201 simulations was generated using finite-element modeling by varying tissue properties, tumor positions, and antenna phases within a human head model equipped with a three-ring phased-array applicator.
Gene Expression Associated With Behaviour Manipulation in Wood Ants Infected With Larval Lancet Fluke, Dicrocoelium dendriticum.

Many ant species show dramatic shifts in behaviour when infected with parasites, but the molecular basis of these behavioural changes is not well understood. An example is the wood ant, Formica aserva, which serves as an intermediate host for the lancet liver fluke, Dicrocoelium dendriticum. Infected ants leave their nests during the cool hours of the day, ascend a flower and then attach themselves to a petal with their mandibles.
