Article Abstract

The Response Assessment in Pediatric Neuro-Oncology (RAPNO) Working Group is an international, collaborative network of experts dedicated to pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors that was created in 2011. Since then, six RAPNO articles with imaging guidelines for response assessment in diverse pediatric tumor subgroups have been published, namely: 1) medulloblastomas and leptomeningeal seeding tumors (2018), 2) pediatric high-grade gliomas (2020), 3) pediatric low-grade gliomas (2020), 4) diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (2020), 5) pediatric intracranial ependymomas (2022) and 6) pediatric craniopharyngiomas (2023). The purpose of this article is to review all current available RAPNO criteria using a systematized and comparative approach centered on the role of neuroradiologists and supported by neuroimaging examples. Special emphasis will be placed on clarification of core concepts as well as practical adoption aspects of the RAPNO guidelines, namely how and when to image the brain and/or the spine; how to interpret the imaging findings; which other clinical, therapeutic and laboratory variables to consider; and finally how to apply the information to attribute the final appropriate response assessment classification.

Clinical Role of the Noninvasive Abdominal Fetal ECG in the Detection and Monitoring of Fetal Tachycardia.

Circ Arrhythm Electrophysiol

September 2025

Department of Congenital Heart Disease, Evelina London Children's Hospital, United Kingdom (S. Chivers, T.V., V.Z., S.M., G.M., W.R., E.R., D.F.A.L., T.G.D., O.I.M., G.K.S., J.M.S.).

Background: Fetal tachycardias can cause adverse fetal outcomes including ventricular dysfunction, hydrops, and fetal demise. Postnatally, ECG is the gold standard, but, in fetal practice, echocardiography is used most frequently to diagnose and monitor fetal arrhythmias. Noninvasive extraction of the fetal ECG (fECG) may provide additional information about the electrophysiological mechanism and monitoring of intermittent arrhythmias.

Cefepime (FEP), a fourth-generation cephalosporin combined with tazobactam (TAZ), a β-lactamase inhibitor, is being developed by Wockhardt as a pharmacodynamically optimized fixed dose combination (FEP-2 g + TAZ-2 g) for the treatment of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative infections. To undertake an exposure-response analysis for establishing pharmacokinetic (PK)/pharmacodynamic (PD) targets, it is crucial to characterize the PK profile of compounds in surrogate compartments, such as plasma and lung, in clinically relevant animal infection models used to evaluate efficacy. In the current study, PKs of FEP and TAZ were assessed in plasma and in epithelial lining fluid (ELF) of neutropenic noninfected, lung-infected, and thigh-infected mice.

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility of abbreviated liver magnetic resonance imaging (AMRI) with a second-shot arterial phase (SSAP) image for the viability of treated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after non-radiation locoregional therapy (LRT).

Methods: We retrospectively enrolled patients with non-radiation LRT for HCC who underwent the modified gadoxetic acid-enhanced liver MRI protocol, which includes routine dynamic and SSAP imaging after the first and second injection of gadoxetic acid, respectively (6 mL and 4 mL, respectively), and an available reference standard for tumor viability in the treated HCC between March 2021 and February 2022. Two radiologists independently reviewed the full-protocol MRI (FP-MRI) and AMRI with SSAP.

Phototaxis is a critical behavior in insects and is closely linked to vision and environmental adaptation. Understanding how insects perceive light and exhibit phototactic responses is crucial for assessing the ecological impact of artificial light at night. However, the molecular and neural mechanisms that regulate phototactic responses in insects remain largely unknown.
