Article Abstract
Background: Dynamic chest radiography (DCR) can estimate haemodynamic parameters in patients with heart failure (HF). Atrial fibrillation (AF) often coexists with HF; however, owing to its sometimes paroxysmal nature and minimal or absent symptoms, many patients with AF remain undiagnosed. Additional tools for AF diagnosis may be beneficial; therefore, we evaluated the ability of DCR to distinguish patients with HF in sinus rhythm (SR) from those with AF.
Methods: In this small-sample pilot study, 20 patients with HF (median age, 67 years; males, 85%) underwent 12-lead electrocardiography and DCR on the same day. Aortic arch (Ao), right atrial (RA), right and left pulmonary artery (PA), and left ventricular (LV) apex pixel values (PVs) were measured. Seventeen patients were in SR and three demonstrated AF on 12-lead electrocardiography before DCR.
Results: The PV and PV change rate waveforms of the Ao, RA, PAs, and LV apex were regular in SR and irregular with AF. The difference between patients in SR and those with AF was particularly clear in the LV apex PV change rate waveforms. In addition, the heart rates (HRs) of patients in SR and with AF could be calculated from the PV change rate waveforms and were similar to those calculated by 12-lead electrocardiography.
Conclusions: DCR can detect AF in patients with HF and may be able to infer HR.

The collection and preservation of postmortem genetic material from recently deceased animals of rare and endangered species represent a critical yet underexplored avenue in conservation biology. While extensive research has been conducted on the human postmortem interval (PMI), there is a notable gap in understanding the postmortem preservation of germplasm in endangered species. This study aimed to investigate the dynamics of apoptosis in various tissues of the Yangtze sturgeon at different postmortem time points, and to provide a reference for identifying the optimal time window for germplasm preservation in rare and endangered fish in the wild.

Avapritinib (Ayvakit™) is a highly selective inhibitor of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA), including D842V mutations. Avapritinib (APB) is authorized in the United States for individuals with metastatic or unresectable gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). APB is considered the exclusive therapy for adults with indolent systemic mastocytosis.

Effective locomotion requires physiological systems to adapt to instabilities. While gait perturbation recovery often appears rapid, it is possible that longer-lasting effects may be present. Therefore, this study explored recovery trends of gait dynamics following an experimenter-induced perturbation.

Background: Despite evidence that mothers-in-law (MILs) influence daughters-in-law's (DILs) fertility and family planning decisions in South Asia, emphasizing early fertility and male grandchildren, few reproductive health interventions engage MILs directly.
Objectives: We assessed the feasibility, acceptability, and qualitative impact of a reproductive health and life skill-based intervention on MILs in tribal Rajasthan, India, using a mixed-methods, single-group cluster pilot study.
Methods: We tested a light-touch four-session intervention delivered over 4 months to MILs of newly married women that covered MILs' health, conception, and communication with DILs and sons and addressed modern healthcare misconceptions, while challenging son preference and fertility norms.
