Seismic lines are linear features created by the oil and gas industry for energy exploration. Though individually narrow, collectively seismic lines are a pervasive management challenge, resulting in changes to biogeochemical cycles, plant and animal abundance and behaviour, predator-prey relationships, and forest successional trajectories. These impacts arise from historical construction methods that used bulldozers to remove vegetation and substrate leaving lines as persistent openings in a state of arrested succession. In the mid-1990s, 'low-impact seismic' (LIS) line construction began, using mulchers to remove vegetation aboveground to minimize impacts and hasten reforestation. Here, we evaluated the effectiveness of LIS in retention, recruitment, and growth of seedlings in forested peatlands in northeast British Columbia. Retained and recruited trees on LIS lines were found at 69% and 64% of sites, had mean densities of 3400 and 6000 stems/ha, and mean heights of 42 and 11 cm, respectively. These LIS lines appeared to recover along expected trajectories toward tree cover, thereby mitigating challenges typical of older seismic exploration. Our results suggest it is feasible to further fast-forward line recovery by ensuring mulcher drums are kept as high as possible to increase the number and height of trees through the mulching process.

Introduction Seismic lines (hereafter lines) are narrow linear features ( In part, the management challenges of lines in forested landscapes stem from their persistence as open (unforested) disturbances that [...]

As advancements in electronics continued, the limitations of traditional component testers became increasingly evident. Most available testers were designed to evaluate a single component type, resulting in a circuit testing process that was often cumbersome and time-consuming. This inefficiency posed challenges to both learning and innovation in educational and professional environments. To address the growing demand for more efficient and versatile testing tools, the development of a multi-component tester became crucial. The proposed project aimed to create an integrated electronic components tester capable of evaluating a wide range of components, including integrated circuits (ICs), resistors, transistors, and capacitors. This all-in-one device was designed to streamline the testing process, improving the user experience in electronics laboratories and supporting professionals in the fields of electronics repair and development.

Antimicrobial resistance is a challenging health problem that demands alternative treatments. Nanoplatforms with antimicrobial properties, associated with photodynamic and photothermal therapies, are potential candidates for this task due to characteristics such as non-invasive, antibiotic-free, dual selectivity, and low adverse effects in therapeutic procedures. Graphene quantum dots are a possible substitute for other nanoparticles, especially by presenting low toxicity and low cost. However, graphene quantum dot properties are highly dependent on the synthesis methods, which makes it difficult to compare and improve methods using different studies. In this work, we apply spectroscopic and photothermal methods to investigate a commercially available green fluorescent graphene quantum dot (GQD) as a potential antimicrobial agent and to determine its theranostics properties. The results showed that the photoactivation of the GQD in phosphate-buffered saline solution by light sources with wavelengths shorter than the emission band can generate singlet oxygen and a heat yield of 50 % under excitation at 532 nm, showing the potential of this GQD as a photodynamic and photothermal agent.

Objective: To investigate the potential role of dual-energy spectral computer tomography (CT) quantitative parameters in the definition of bladder cancer (BCa) pathological grading., Methods: This retrospective study evaluated the use of spectral CT imaging features for BCa. From 2021 to 2023, 63 patients with histologically-confirmed BCa diagnosis were examined at our Institution. The patients were pathologically divided, following international guidelines, into two groups: low-grade (n = 24) and high-grade urothelial carcinoma group (n = 39). The iodine concentrations (IC), the normalized iodine concentrations (NIC), and the slope of the spectrum curve (SLOPE) were calculated along with the measure of each lesion CT value on the monochromatic image from 40 to 120 keV. The diagnostic performance was assessed by Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) analysis., Results: The high-grade group showed significantly higher mean values of IC, SLOPE, and HU in 40 KeV monoenergetic images (VMI 40 HU). AUC values for NIC, SLOPE, IC, and VMI 40 HU were 0,677, 0,745, 0,745, and 0,755 respectively. In multivariate logistic regression models with backward stepwise, including all quantitative parameters, only VMI 40 HU remained statistically significant to correlate with high-grade tumors., Conclusion: Preliminary data shows that quantitative parameters of dual-energy spectral CT can be helpful to characterize low-grade and high-grade urothelial bladder tumors. The prediction of high-grade BCa with non-invasive methods (e.g. dlCT) can aid in early detection of muscle-invasive and worse prognostic tumors that need more aggressive and timely treatments, personalizing the management on the risk of recurrence., Competing Interests: Declarations Ethical approval All procedures performed in this retrospective study were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and/or national research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards.

Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of dual-energy CT (DECT) iodine maps in comparison to conventional CT series for the assessment of non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI)., Material and Methods: We evaluated data from 142 patients (72 men; 50.7%) who underwent DECT between 2018 and 2022, with surgically confirmed diagnosis of NOMI. One board-certified radiologist performed region of interest (ROI) measurements in bowel segments on late arterial (LA) and portal venous (PV) phase DECT iodine maps as well as LA conventional series, in both ischemic and non-ischemic bowel loops, using surgical reports as reference standard, and in a control group of 97 patients. Intra- and inter-reader agreement with a second board-certified radiologist was also evaluated. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to calculate the optimal threshold for discriminating ischemic from non-ischemic bowel segments. Subjective image rating of LA and PV iodine maps was performed., Results: DECT-based iodine concentration (IC) measurements showed significant differences in LA phase iodine maps between ischemic (median:0.72; IQR 0.52-0.91 mg/mL) and non-ischemic bowel loops (5.16; IQR 3.45-6.31 mg/ml) (P <.0001). IC quantification on LA phase revealed an AUC of 0.966 for the assessment of acute bowel ischemia, significantly higher compared to both IC quantification based on PV phase (0.951) and attenuation values evaluated on LA conventional CT series (0.828). Excellent intra-observer and strong inter-observer agreements were observed for the quantification of iodine concentration. Conversely, weak inter-observer agreement was noted for conventional HU assessments. The optimal LA phase-based IC threshold for assessing bowel ischemia was 1.34 mg/mL, yielding a sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 96.48%., Conclusion: Iodine maps based on LA phase significantly improve the diagnostic accuracy for the assessment of NOMI compared to conventional CT series and PV phase iodine maps., Competing Interests: Declarations Conflict of interest C.B. and I.Y have received speaking fees from Siemens Healthineers.

Purpose: Preliminary dual-energy CT studies have shown that low-energy virtual monoenergetic (VMI) + reconstructions can provide superior image quality compared to standard 120 kV CTA series. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of low-energy VMI reconstructions on quantitative and qualitative image quality, vascular contrast, and diagnostic assessability of the carotid artery in patients undergoing photon-counting CTA examinations., Materials and Methods: A total of 122 patients (67 male) who had undergone dual-source photon-counting CTA scans of the carotid artery were retrospectively analyzed in this study. Standard 120 kV CT images and low-keV VMI series from 40 to 100 keV with an interval of 15 keV were reconstructed. Quantitative analyses included the evaluation of vascular CT numbers, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR). CT number measurements were performed in the common, external, and internal carotid arteries. Qualitative analyses were performed by three board-certified radiologists independently using five-point scales to evaluate image quality, vascular contrast, and diagnostic assessability of the carotid artery., Results: Mean attenuation, CNR and SNR values were highest in 40 keV VMI reconstructions (HU, 1362.32 ± 457.81; CNR, 33.19 ± 12.86; SNR, 34.37 ± 12.89) followed by 55-keV VMI reconstructions (HU, 736.94 ± 150.09; CNR, 24.49 ± 7.11; SNR, 26.25 ± 7.34); all three mean values at these keV levels were significantly higher compared with the remaining VMI series and standard 120 kV CT series (HU, 154.43 ± 23.69; CNR, 16.34 ± 5.47; SNR, 24.44 ± 7.14) (p < 0.0001). The qualitative analysis showed the highest rating scores for 55 keV VMI reconstructions followed by 40 keV and 70 keV VMI series with a significant difference compared to standard 120 kV CT images series regarding image quality, vascular contrast, and diagnostic assessability of the carotid artery (all comparisons, p < 0.01)., Conclusions: Low-keV VMI reconstructions at a level of 40-55 keV significantly improve image quality, vascular contrast, and the diagnostic assessability of the carotid artery compared with standard CT series in photon-counting CTA., Competing Interests: Declarations Conflict of interest C.B. and I.Y have received speaking fees from Siemens Healthineers.

Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is a temporary form of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction characterized by a distinct pattern of LV impairment, often triggered by a physical or emotional stressful event. Historically, TS was considered a benign condition due to its prompt restoration of myocardial function and generally excellent outcomes. However, recent studies have shown that complications similar to those seen after myocardial infarction can occur, necessitating careful monitoring of these patients. Among noninvasive imaging techniques, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is becoming increasingly important in evaluating patients with TS. CMR offers a unique ability to noninvasively assess myocardial tissue characteristics, allowing for detecting the typical features of TS, such as specific wall motion abnormalities and myocardial edema. Beyond its well-established diagnostic utility in the clinical management of TS, CMR has also proven valuable in prognosis and risk stratification for these patients. Advances in CMR, including myocardial strain and parametric mapping have expanded its role in the diagnosis, prognosis, and follow-up of these patients. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the potential applications of CMR in the diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of TS patients. It explores the emerging use of novel CMR imaging biomarkers that may enhance diagnosis, improve prognostic accuracy, and contribute to the overall management of these patients., (© 2024 Wiley Periodicals LLC.)

Purpose: To evaluate a deep learning-based pipeline using a Dense-UNet architecture for the assessment of acute intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) on non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) head scans after traumatic brain injury (TBI)., Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted using a prototype algorithm that evaluated 502 NCCT head scans with ICH in context of TBI. Four board-certified radiologists evaluated in consensus the CT scans to establish the standard of reference for hemorrhage presence and type of ICH. Consequently, all CT scans were independently analyzed by the algorithm and a board-certified radiologist to assess the presence and type of ICH. Additionally, the time to diagnosis was measured for both methods., Results: A total of 405/502 patients presented ICH classified in the following types: intraparenchymal (n = 172); intraventricular (n = 26); subarachnoid (n = 163); subdural (n = 178); and epidural (n = 15). The algorithm showed high diagnostic accuracy (91.24%) for the assessment of ICH with a sensitivity of 90.37% and specificity of 94.85%. To distinguish the different ICH types, the algorithm had a sensitivity of 93.47% and a specificity of 99.79%, with an accuracy of 98.54%. To detect midline shift, the algorithm had a sensitivity of 100%. In terms of processing time, the algorithm was significantly faster compared to the radiologist's time to first diagnosis (15.37 ± 1.85 vs 277 ± 14 s, p < 0.001)., Conclusion: A novel deep learning algorithm can provide high diagnostic accuracy for the identification and classification of ICH from unenhanced CT scans, combined with short processing times. This has the potential to assist and improve radiologists' ICH assessment in NCCT scans, especially in emergency scenarios, when time efficiency is needed., (© 2024. The Author(s).)

Objectives: The quality of life in patients undergoing radical cystectomy and urinary diversion is gaining importance. Nowadays a broad consensus about the best urinary diversion does not exist. This study presents an all-round analysis of the impact of two types of urinary diversion on life's psycho-social aspects in patients undergoing radical cystectomy., Methods: This is an observational, single-centre, prospective study. Eligible participants underwent radical cystectomy and urinary diversion for bladder cancer in our department from January 2020 and February 2024. Of 130 included patients, 90 (45 with Bricker's ureteroileocutaneostomy and 45 received orthotopic bladder replacement) patients were matched and the study groups were well balanced for the baseline-matched variables. Patients completed 4 questionnaires (EORTC QLQ-C30, PGWBI, HADS, PSQI) at three different times: before the surgical procedure, and at 3 and 12 months., Results: Time shows a statistically significant effect (p < 0.0005) on four of the five functional scales explored (Physical Functioning, Role Functioning, Emotional Functioning, Social Functioning), and for all the nine symptoms/items' scales (p < 0.0005) and the Global Health Status (p = 0.003) in EORTC QLQ-C30. Neobladder's group shows a statistically significant improvement on the scales of Physical Functioning, Role Functioning, and Social Functioning, and for symptoms of nausea (p = 0.0027), pain (p = 0.0005), dyspnea (p = 0.012), insomnia (p = 0.004), constipation (p = 0.003)., Conclusion: We do not find a better urinary diversion in absolute terms. Neobladder obtained better results only for specific items and features. The urinary diversion's choice must be made in concert by the patient, the caregiver, and health professionals with adequate counseling., (© 2024 The Author(s).

Background: To establish dual-energy-derived iodine density reference values in abdominopelvic organs in a large cohort of healthy subjects. Methods : 597 patients who underwent portal venous phase dual-energy CT scans of the abdomen were retrospectively enrolled. Iodine distribution maps were reconstructed, and regions of interest measurements were placed in abdominal and pelvic structures to obtain absolute iodine values. Subsequently, normalization of the abdominal aorta was conducted to obtain normalized iodine ratios. The values obtained were subsequently analyzed and differences were investigated in subgroups defined by sex, age and BMI. Results : Overall mean iodine uptake values and normalized iodine ratios ranged between 0.31 and 6.08 mg/mL and 0.06 and 1.20, respectively. Women exhibited higher absolute iodine concentration across all organs. With increasing age, normalized iodine ratios mostly tend to decrease, being most significant in the uterus, prostate, and kidneys ( p < 0.015). BMI was the parameter less responsible for variations in iodine concentrations; normal weighted patients demonstrated higher values of both absolute and normalized iodine. Conclusions : Iodine concentration values and normalized iodine ratios of abdominal and pelvic organs reveal significant gender-, age-, and BMI-related differences, underscoring the necessity to integrate these variables into clinical practice.

Rationale and Objectives: Lumbar disk degeneration is a common condition contributing significantly to back pain. The objective of the study was to evaluate the potential of dual-energy CT (DECT)-derived collagen maps for the assessment of lumbar disk degeneration., Patients and Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 127 patients who underwent dual-source DECT and MRI of the lumbar spine between 07/2019 and 10/2022. The level of lumbar disk degeneration was categorized by three radiologists as follows: no/mild (Pfirrmann 1&2), moderate (Pfirrmann 3&4), and severe (Pfirrmann 5). Recall (sensitivity) and accuracy of DECT collagen maps were calculated. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to evaluate inter-reader reliability. Subjective evaluations were performed using 5-point Likert scales for diagnostic confidence and image quality., Results: We evaluated a total of 762 intervertebral disks from 127 patients (median age, 69.7 (range, 23.0-93.7), female, 56). MRI identified 230 non/mildly degenerated disks (30.2%), 484 moderately degenerated disks (63.5%), and 48 severely degenerated disks (6.3%). DECT collagen maps yielded an overall accuracy of 85.5% (1955/2286). Recall (sensitivity) was 79.3% (547/690) for the detection of no/mild lumbar disk degeneration, 88.7% (1288/1452) for the detection of moderate disk degeneration, and 83.3% (120/144) for the detection of severe disk degeneration (ICC=0.9). Subjective evaluations of DECT collagen maps showed high diagnostic confidence (median 4) and good image quality (median 4)., Conclusion: The use of DECT collagen maps to distinguish different stages of lumbar disk degeneration may have clinical significance in the early diagnosis of disk-related pathologies in patients with contraindications for MRI or in cases of unavailability of MRI., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors of this manuscript declare relationships with the following companies: I.Y. received a speaking fee from Siemens Healthineers.

Background: Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) can quantify tissue biomechanics noninvasively, including pathological hepatic states like metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis., Purpose: To compare the performance of 2D/3D-MRE using the gravitational (GT) transducer concept with the current commercial acoustic (AC) solution utilizing a 2D-MRE approach. Additionally, quality index markers (QIs) were proposed to identify image pixels with sufficient quality for reliably estimating tissue biomechanics., Study Type: Prospective., Population: One hundred seventy participants with suspected or confirmed liver disease (median age, 57 years [interquartile range (IQR), 46-65]; 66 females), and 11 healthy volunteers (median age, 31 years [IQR, 27-34]; 5 females)., Field Strength/sequence: Participants were scanned twice at 1.5 T and 60 Hz vibration frequency: first, using AC-MRE (2D-MRE, spin-echo EPI sequence, 11 seconds breath-hold), and second, using GT-MRE (2D- and 3D-MRE, gradient-echo sequence, 14 seconds breath-hold)., Assessment: Image analysis was performed by four independent radiologists and one biomedical engineer. Additionally, superimposed analytic plane shear waves of known wavelength and attenuation at fixed shear modulus were used to propose pertinent QIs., Statistical Tests: Spearman's correlation coefficient (r) was applied to assess the correlation between modalities. Interreader reproducibility was evaluated using Bland-Altman bias and reproducibility coefficients. P-values <0.05 were considered statistically significant., Results: Liver stiffness quantified via GT-2D/3D correlated well with AC-2D (r ≥ 0.89 [95% CI: 0.85-0.92]) and histopathological grading (r ≥ 0.84 [95% CI: 0.72-0.91]), demonstrating excellent agreement in Bland-Altman plots and between readers (κ ≥ 0.86 [95% CI: 0.81-0.91]). However, GT-2D showed a bias in overestimating stiffness compared to GT-3D. Proposed QIs enabled the identification of pixels deviating beyond 10% from true stiffness based on a combination of total wave amplitude, temporal sinusoidal nonlinearity, and wave signal-to-noise ratio for GT-3D., Conclusion: GT-MRE represents an alternative to AC-MRE for noninvasive liver tissue characterization. Both GT-2D and 3D approaches correlated strongly with the established commercial approach, offering advanced capabilities in abdominal imaging compared to AC-MRE., Evidence Level: 1 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 2., (© 2024 The Author(s).
