Bone Reporting and Data System (Bone-RADS) and Other Proposed Practice Guidelines for Reporting Bone Tumors
Authors: Ghasemi Ali , Ahlawat Shivani 
Published: March 2024

Background The purpose of this article is to review the different bone tumor radiology reporting systems [Bone Reporting and Data System (Bone-RADS), Osseous Tumor Reporting and Data System (OT-RADS), Solitary Bone Tumor Imaging Reporting and Data System (BTI-RADS), and Radiological Evaluation Score for Bone Tumors (REST)] and summarize their advantages and disadvantages.
Methods A selective search of PubMed was performed for literature regarding the definition and discussion of bone tumor reporting systems. No time frame was selected, but the search was particularly focused on current literature on musculoskeletal radiology lexicon.
Results To date, four major reporting systems has been proposed to standardize and systematize the reporting of imaging studies of bone tumors: Bone-RADS, OT-RADS, BTI-RADS, and REST. Both Bone-RADS and OT-RADS aid in the characterization and management of bone lesions on CT and MRI. OT-RADS and REST can be applied to MRI and radiography, respectively.
Conclusion Radiologists play a central role in the detection and characterization of asymptomatic (or incidentally detected) and symptomatic bone tumors. There are several existing bone tumor reporting systems with various advantages and disadvantages including emphasis on lesion characterization as well as management of incidentally detected bone lesions.

SummaryTrotzdem die Finanzierungssituation der Musiktherapie sehr unterschiedlich ist, wird sie in allen deutschsprachigen Ländern angeboten. In Deutschland und der Schweiz ist sie im stationären Setting im Rahmen verschiedener Komplexbehandlungen vergütungsrelevant. Im ambulanten Bereich ist sie in diesen Ländern im Bereich der Rehabilitation und Eingliederungshilfe erstattungsfähig. In Österreich wird Musiktherapie in Kliniken und auch im ambulanten Bereich angeboten, bisher jedoch nicht bundesweit durch die Krankenkassen vergütet. Ambulante Musiktherapie kann in bestimmten Fällen über eine komplementärmedizinische Zusatzversicherung bei der Krankenkasse abgerechnet werden.
Nasal angioleiomyoma in 2 dogs
Authors: Schuenemann Riccarda , Geyer Claudia , Pohl Sabine , Ludewig Eberhard , Oechtering Gerhard 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis case report describes 2 dogs, an Appenzeller Mountain dog and an Irish
Wolfhound, with angioleiomyoma within the nasal cavity. Endoscopic surgical
resection resulted in cure in both dogs. Macroscopically and on diagnostic
imaging, tumor masses may appear malignant because of local turbinate
destruction. This highlights the importance of histological examination before
any recommendations are made to owners because tumors of the nasal cavity may be
benign and surgery curative.
Overview of Rheumatoid Arthritis-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease and Its Treatment
Authors: Pugashetti Janelle Vu , Lee Joyce S. 
Published: March 2024

AbstractInterstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common pulmonary complication of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), causing significant morbidity and mortality. Optimal treatment for RA-ILD is not yet well defined. Reliable prognostic indicators are largely byproducts of prior ILD progression, including low or decreasing forced vital capacity and extensive or worsening fibrosis on imaging. In the absence of validated tools to predict treatment response, decisions about whether to initiate or augment treatment are instead based on clinical judgment. In general, treatment should be initiated in patients who are symptomatic, progressing, or at high risk of poor outcomes. Retrospective data suggest that mycophenolate mofetil, azathioprine, and rituximab are likely effective therapies for RA-ILD. Abatacept is also emerging as a potential first-line treatment option for patients with RA-ILD. Further, recent data demonstrate that immunosuppression may be beneficial even in patients with a usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern on imaging, suggesting that immunosuppression should be considered irrespective of imaging pattern. Recent randomized controlled trials have shown that antifibrotic medications, such as nintedanib and likely pirfenidone, slow forced vital capacity decline in RA-ILD. Consideration can be given to antifibrotic initiation in patients progressing despite immunosuppression, particularly in patients with a UIP pattern. Future research directions include developing tools to predict which patients will remain stable from patients who will progress, discriminating patients who will respond to treatment from nonresponders, and developing algorithms for starting immunosuppression, antifibrotics, or both as first-line therapies.

Published: March 2024

AbstractThe full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine has significantly impacted the country's healthcare system. Insufficient infrastructure, destruction of medical facilities, and barriers to prevention and treatment efforts hinder the provision of timely, high-quality care to our patients. We aim to describe the impact of the war on neurological care across Ukraine. In this article, leading national experts in stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and movement disorders describe their personal experience and efforts in organizing and providing care since the war started in February 2022. A neurologist who cared for patients in Mariupol recounts the first weeks of the war when the city was under constant attacks. An international stroke expert describes the role of Task Force for Ukraine, a European Stroke Organization initiative to support the Ukrainian stroke community. We discuss a series of critical challenges facing Ukraine's neurologists, patients, and healthcare delivery system, including shortages of personnel and medical supplies, disrupted logistics, and lack of funding. In addition, we highlight various interventions and strategies aimed at counteracting these challenges, including international support, collaborations within Ukraine, and initiatives enhancing the resilience of the Ukrainian neurology community. As the war is ongoing, this article emphasizes the pressing need for continuous support and investment in the Ukrainian healthcare system to preserve guaranteed access to high-quality healthcare for the Ukrainian people during the war and in its aftermath. Insights from the essays can inform the development and implementation of effective strategies and interventions tailored to such extraordinary circumstances.
Pulmonary Embolism in Donor Lungs—Incidence and Management
Authors: Carvalho Juliano Lentz , Keshavamurthy Suresh 
Published: March 2024

AbstractIn efforts to decrease the mortality on the waiting list for lung transplantation, alternatives to increase the donor pool have been explored. Caution must be used when accepting donor lungs with pulmonary embolism (PE), as prior evidence has shown mixed results after transplantation of donor lungs with PE. However, the mere diagnosis of PE on imaging should not be the sole reason for the exclusion of these donors for transplant, and they should be reviewed as any other donor. A comprehensive evaluation should be performed for every donor, with a special focus on abnormalities of gas exchange and gross pathologic characteristics during procurement.

Published: March 2024

Context The cDNA sequence of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) gene in Tarim red deer has not been reported yet. Aims This study aims to obtain the full-length cDNA sequence of HGF and analyse its expression in different parts of developing antler tissues. The result provides foundational data for understanding the potential role of HGF in regulating antler growth and development. Methods Rapid amplification of cDNA ends was used to obtain the full-length cDNA sequence of Tarim red deer HGF. The pET28a (+) vector was constructed for prokaryotic expression of the recombinant protein in E. coli BL21 (DE3). The expression of HGF in different antler tissues was detected using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry. Key results The full-length cDNA of Tarim red deer HGF was found to consist of a 156 bp 5’untranslated region (UTR), a 112 bp 3’UTR, and a 2193 bp open reading frame encoding a protein of 730 amino acids. The recombinant HGF protein expressed in prokaryotic cells formed inclusion bodies. HGF and its receptor c-Met were expressed in all four different antler tissues, with the highest expression level in velvet skin, followed by bone, cartilage, and the lowest in the mesenchyme. Conclusions The study successfully obtained the full-length cDNA sequence of Tarim red deer HGF and identified the expression profile of HGF and c-Met in different antler tissues. HGF is a candidate gene that may play a role in regulating the growth and development of deer antler. Implications These findings provide fundamental data for further investigations into the role of HGF in antler development. Understanding the function of HGF in antler development could have implications for elucidating the mechanism of antler regeneration.

Abstract
To address the needs for a fusion pilot plan design, DIII-D/EAST joint experiments on DIII-D have demonstrated high normalized beta β
N ∼ 4.2, toroidal beta β
T ∼ 3.3% with q
min > 2, q
95 ⩽ 8 sustained for more than six energy confinement times in high poloidal beta regime. The excellent energy confinement quality (H
98y2 ∼ 1.8) is achieved with an internal transport barrier at high line-averaged Greenwald density fraction f
Gr > 0.9. The trapped gyro-Landau fluid (TGLF) modeling of the transport characteristics shows that the beam-driven rotation does not play an important role in the high confinement quality. The modeling also captures very well several transport features, giving us confidence in using integrated modeling to project these experimental results to future machines. The high-performance phase is terminated by fast-growing modes triggered near the n = 1 ideal-wall kink stability limit. New radio frequency (RF) capabilities for off-axis current drive could remove the residual ohmic current to achieve a fully non-inductive state, and improve the mode–wall coupling to increase the ideal-wall β
N limit, enabling sustainment of the fully non-inductive high performance plasma in stationary conditions.

Abstract
A significant waste, including dyes in water, is generated during textile industrial processes, which causes environmental challenges. Herein, various nanocomposites (NC) of nickel oxide (NiO) and zinc oxide (ZnO) were prepared by solvothermal assisted green method where ethanolic extract of spinach leaves were used as a green source. The ultraviolet-visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy revealed that the band gap energies and absorption maxima of NiO/ZnO were 2.25 eV and 371 nm for 1:1 NC, 2.07 eV and 380 nm for 5:1 NC, and 2.02 eV and 385 nm for 1:5 NC. Ultraviolet-visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were employed to investigate the optical and structural characteristics of the NCs. The XRD patterns of NiO/ZnO NCs (i.e., 1:1, 5:1, 1:5) displayed crystallite sizes of 44.6, 52.17, and 42.5 nm, respectively. Associations of different functional groups with the surfaces of NC was confirmed by FTIR. Batch method was used to conduct the NCs-mediated adsorption of methylene blue (MB), methyl red (MR), and methyl orange (MO). Furthermore, several factors, including dye concentration, contact time, and temperature that affected the sorption, are reported. Pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order kinetic models were utilized to examine the adsorption kinetics. For all the dyes studied, pseudo-first order is the one which fitted best to the kinetic data, based on regression coefficient (R2). Indeed, experimental data were found to follow the Langmuir model. The maximum uptake capacity (qm) of MB adsorbed on NiO/ZnO NC (1:1) was 370 mg g−1 which is higher compared to that of values reported in the literature. These findings report a dual method (i.e., solvothermal-green chemistry) contribute to the development of efficient and cost-effective methods for wastewater treatment and environmental remediation.
Heavily vanadium-doped LiFePO4 olivine as electrode material for Li-ion aqueous rechargeable batteries
Authors: Vujković Milica , Popović Maja , Čebela Maria , Jugović Dragana 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Since LiFePO4 batteries play a major role in the transition to safe, more affordable and sustainable energy production, numerous strategies have been applied to modify LFP cathode, with the aim of improving its electrochemistry. In this contribution, a highly vanadium-doped LiFe0.9V0.1PO4/C composite (LFP/C-10V) is synthesized using the glycine combustion method and characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Thermogravimetry Differential Thermal Analysis (TGDTA) and Cyclic Voltammetry (CV). It is shown that 10wt.% of vanadium can substitute Fe positions, thus decreasing unit cell volume, which is followed by generation of Li3V2PO4 traces, as detected by CV. High vanadium doping does not change the carbon content in the composite (≈13 wt%) but improves its electronic conductivity and electrochemical performance in both aqueous and organic electrolytes. The reversibility and current response are increasing following the trend: LFP/C, LFP/C -3mol%V, LFP/C - 5 mol % and LFP/C-10 mol %. The best specific capacity is obtained for the most highly doped olivine, which exhibits a reversible process at 1 mV s−1 in an aqueous electrolyte, thus showing a peak-to-peak distance of 56 mV. The high capacity of LFPC-10V is measured in both LiNO3 and NaNO3 electrolytes amounting to around 100 mAh g−1 at 20 mV s−1. Still, the material is only stable in LiNO3 electrolyte, making it more suitable for Li than Na-ion aqueous rechargeable batteries.
Design and validate a wide-bandwidth, high-performance tunable metamaterial based on cultural-innovation shell materials and its sensing applications
Authors: Wu Wei , Huang Ge , Zhong Min 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The application of metamaterials in controllable thermal emission devices is an interesting field. However, most of the demonstrated thermal emitters required continuous consumption of external energy (electrical or thermal) to provide an effective thermal emissivity. Here, a metamaterial containing phase change materials Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) and shell materials with controllable thermal emission power was proposed and measured. Based on the completely amorphous state of the GST layer, an emissivity of 0.212 at wavelength 7.11 μm was achieved by this this metamaterial, while a thermal emission band (with an average amplitude of 0.857 and a bandwidth of 6.16 μm) was excited for the crystalline state. Moreover, numerous thermal emission states were excited by this metamaterial based on the intermediate states between completely amorphous and crystalline states of the GST layer. Tunability of the thermal emission window was obtained by this metamaterial sample. The temperature sensitivity of this metamaterial thermal emitter was 341 nm °C−1. By increasing the thickness of the GST or shell layers, the thermal emission performance of the metamaterial was enhanced. Since the phase transition of GST does not require the continuous consumption of external energy, the metamaterial has the potential to be used in the development of low-power heat emitters, as well as temperature sensors.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
The primary objective of this study is to fabricate an Al-12 wt% Si Alloy/ZrO2 composite using the Stir Casting technique, with a specific focus on assessing its performance, particularly in terms of wear characteristics. This research presents a unique approach by utilizing Al-12 wt% Si Alloy as the matrix material, aiming to develop tailored Al Alloy matrix composites suitable for applications requiring enhanced tribological properties. The composites are systematically manufactured with varying percentages of micro-sized ZrO2 reinforcements, specifically 0.5, 1, and 3 wt%. The incorporation of ZrO2 results in significant improvements in wear resistance, a critical attribute for Al-12 wt% Si Alloy-based composites. These composites find extensive utility across industries such as marine, aerospace, automotive, and the power sector, where they are indispensable for producing vital components like electrical sliding contacts, gears, bearings, bushes, pistons, piston rings, and clutches. Despite the availability of various promising reinforcement materials, researchers persistently explore novel combinations of matrices and reinforcements to tailor properties and enhance cost-effectiveness. ZrO2 has emerged as a notable reinforcement material in metal matrix composites, as evidenced by numerous research endeavours. The composites fabricated with ceramic reinforcement’s exhibit enhanced tribological characteristics. The study observes that the wear rate decreases up to 3 wt% of reinforcements, beyond which it increases due to reinforcement agglomeration. The optimal wear-resistant combination is found at 3 wt% of ZrO2, attributed to robust micro-coring and interstitial metal-oxygen bonding facilitated by the Si content in the Al-12%Si matrix. The results are further optimized using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) techniques and validated using the ANOVA table to elucidate the behaviour of the composites under different operational conditions. The hardness results further ascertain the decrease in the wear rate due to the inclusion of ZrO2 reinforcements owing to micro coring and strengthening.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Compaction in powder metallurgy is considered to be one of the most critical steps in achieving the desired properties of green (before sintering) and final (after sintering) compacts that further play a very important role in final products manufactured using powder metallurgy. In this work, compaction was carried out using a single-action die and floating die (necessary pressure is applied from either the upper or lower punch). Simulations have been conducted with considering various loading conditions (20 to 200 kN) and friction coefficient (0 to 0.5 in the steps of 0.1) using both types of dies for manufacturing compacts of Aluminum alloy AA7075 as its demand in aerospace applications has been increased drastically in recent times. It was found from the simulated results that, to ensure satisfactory compaction using a single action die, the compaction load must be ≥100 kN, and the friction coefficient < 0.3. While, for a floating die, load ≥50 kN, and friction coefficient as zero. It was also found, that a single action die is not advisable to manufacture compact of especially Aluminum alloy AA7075 with a high aspect ratio (H/d > 1.5) in comparison with a floating die. It was also validated by experimental results. It was also observed that floating die compaction results in homogeneous physical, and mechanical properties as well as better microstructure. The compressive strength of the sintered compact is observed to be as high as 60% greater for the floating die compared to the single-action die. Moreover, it was improved by 94.14% compared to previous studies. Additionally, it was found that the effectiveness of the floating pressing die lies in its ability to achieve compaction without the complexity of a double-action system, offering practical implications for optimizing powder metallurgy processes and reducing costs.
Enhancing battery cell safety and lifespan through strategic application of insulating and phase change materials utilizing critical thickness for enhanced heat transfer
Authors: Kadam Sanjay , Gunjavate Prashant , Bhise Shubham 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Efficient and secure operation of electric vehicles relies significantly on the cooling system for lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries, a key component in electric vehicle technology. One of the critical challenges faced by electric vehicle is battery cooling to ensure optimal performance, extended battery life, and enhanced safety. The excessive heat generated during battery operation can lead to decrease in performance and potential safety hazards. Conventional cooling systems, such as air or liquid cooling, have limitations in terms of their cooling capacity, weight, and complexity. Therefore, there is a need to explore innovative cooling techniques that can effectively reduce the thermal issues associated with Electric Vehicles LiFePO4 batteries. Employing a thermal insulating coating and phase change material at the critical thickness emerges as an innovative approach to mitigate the surface temperature of battery cells. This is evident during the charging phase, where the bare cell, Teflon-insulated, and paraffin wax-coated cells reached respective peak temperatures of 69 °C, 57 °C, and 53.3 °C. Notably, the Teflon-coated cell exhibited a 17.39% reduction in peak temperature compared to the bare cell, while the paraffin wax-coated cell displayed a more substantial 23.18% reduction. A similar temperature reduction trend is observed during the discharging phase of the battery cell. Utilizing insulating materials or phase change materials with a critical thickness significantly lowers surface temperatures, enhancing the safety of the battery cell and ensuring prolonged life.
