Article Abstract

Bloom dynamics of K. mikimotoi during summer 2015 in the Yatsushiro Sea, Japan, which caused fish mortality was studied using field survey data and satellite data. The bloom initially formed in the western area, subsequently appeared in the southern area, and finally expanded to the central area. The field-survey detected the horizontal displacement of the bloom which was also assessed by satellite data. Acoustic backscattering intensity of the current meter captured the modulation of the diurnal vertical migration of K. mikimotoi. After the modulation, K. mikimotoi distributed at a shallower depth in the nighttime than the period prior to the modulation. Factors affecting the modulation are suggested to be the continuous low nutrient conditions. Synchronization between the shallowed distribution during the nighttime and the wind driven surface northeastward current enabled a sudden horizontal transport toward the central area. Satellite and acoustic backscattering data are beneficial subsidiary tools for detecting blooms.

Effective reduction of oceanic plastic pollution requires scalable and objective monitoring methods that go beyond traditional human-based surveys. This review synthesizes recent advances in remote sensing and AI-driven image analysis for detecting macro-plastic litter. Peer-reviewed studies published up to 2024 were systematically selected from the Scopus database, focusing on applications of remote sensing platforms including webcams, drones, balloons, aircraft, and satellites for monitoring plastic litter in coastal, riverine, and other aquatic environments.

Cachexia, the loss of skeletal muscle mass and function with cancer, contributes to reduced life quality and worsened survival. Skeletal muscle fibrosis leads to disproportionate muscle weakness; however, the role of infiltrating immune cells and fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) in cancer-induced muscle fibrosis is not well understood. Using the C26 model of cancer cachexia, we sought to examine the changes to skeletal muscle immune cells and FAPs which contribute to excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) collagen deposition.

Prognostic models for radiation-induced complications after radiotherapy in head and neck cancer patients.

Background: Radiotherapy is the mainstay of treatment for head and neck cancer (HNC) but may induce various side effects on surrounding normal tissues. To reach an optimal balance between tumour control and toxicity prevention, normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models have been reported to predict the risk of radiation-induced side effects in patients with HNC. However, the quality of study design, conduct, and analysis (i.

Despite advances in genomic diagnostics, the majority of individuals with rare diseases remain without a confirmed genetic diagnosis. The rapid emergence of advanced omics technologies, such as long-read genome sequencing, optical genome mapping and multiomic profiling, has improved diagnostic yield but also substantially increased analytical and interpretational complexity. Addressing this complexity requires systematic multidisciplinary collaboration, as recently demonstrated by targeted diagnostic workshops.
