Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the performance of ChatGPT (GPT-4o) in interpreting free-text breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reports by assigning BI-RADS categories and recommending appropriate clinical management steps in the absence of explicitly stated BI-RADS classifications.

Methods: In this retrospective, single-center study, a total of 352 documented full-text breast MRI reports of at least one identifiable breast lesion with descriptive imaging findings between January 2024 and June 2025 were included in the study. Incomplete reports due to technical limitations, reports describing only normal findings, and MRI examinations performed at external institutions were excluded from the study.

Epigenetic modulation of BARD1 to enhance anti-VEGF therapy.

Cell Rep Med

August 2025

Department of Gynecologic Oncology and Reproductive Medicine, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA. Electronic address:

Despite the clinical use of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibodies (AVAs) in cancer therapy, resistance frequently develops, leading to disease progression. To address this, we identify a previously unknown role for breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein (BRCA1)-associated RING domain 1 (BARD1) in modulating AVA sensitivity. Epigenetic modulation-via global and targeted DNA methylation-reveals BARD1 as a key regulator of angiogenesis.

Predictive Value of Metastatic Distribution Patterns on [Ga]Ga-PSMA PET/CT for [Lu]Lu-PSMA Therapy.

Rev Esp Med Nucl Imagen Mol (Engl Ed)

September 2025

Department of Biostatistics, Gaziantep University, Gaziantep, Turkey.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the predictive value of metastatic distribution patterns on Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT in patients with chemotherapy- and castration-resistant prostate cancer undergoing ¹⁷⁷Lu-PSMA-617 radioligand therapy.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 48 patients who received ¹⁷⁷Lu-PSMA-617 therapy between April 2019 and August 2023. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data, along with pre- and post-treatment Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT images, were evaluated for associations with molecular response and progression.

Microvascular changes cause renal fibrosis over time, and increased fibrosis leads to allograft dysfunction. In this study, we aimed to assess renal allograft fibrosis using shear wave elastography (SWE), a contemporary, noninvasive imaging technique. Additionally, we sought to evaluate perfusion and microvascular distribution through diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within the same graft.

Lead-free perovskite KCsSnICl material exhibiting superior photocatalytic antimicrobial activity.

Sci Rep

September 2025

Nanomaterials Science Research Laboratory, Chemistry Department, Faculty of Science, Beni-Suef University, Beni-Suef, Egypt.

The development of environmentally friendly and highly efficient materials is critical for next-generation antibacterial and optoelectronic applications. In this study, we present the successful synthesis of a novel lead-free perovskite, KCsSnICl, via a rapid and scalable chemical bath deposition method at 150 °C for just 5 min. The resulting film features well-defined orthorhombic, pyramid-like crystals with uniform grain sizes (800-1000 nm) and a compact, pinhole-free morphology.

A precise radiographic evaluation of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is essential for effective treatment planning and follow-up. The pelvic axial rotation (PAR) and horizontal balance of the pelvis are critical factors to consider throughout the treatment and monitoring of AIS. While some previous studies have examined spinal curvature in relation to PAR direction and the direction of the major curve (DMC) in AIS patients, this study aims to explore the relationship between scoliosis morphology, pelvic axial rotation (PAR), and the direction of the major curve in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
