Proximal bronchiolar adenoma with malignant transformation to invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma with 4 years follow-up: a case report and literature review by Yuan-Hui Yang, Ke Yin, Jia-Qi Xu, Xiao-Ying Xu, Jun-Lei Zhang, Ji-Xuan Liu, Xin-Zhi Feng, Xiao-Yan Lin, Xiao-Yan Lin

“…Regular postoperative follow-up showed no recurrence or metastasis. Hybridization Capture-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis detected driver gene mutations in Kirsten Rat Sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) and Cyclin-Dependent Kinases (CDK) 6 in the case, thereby inferring the malignant transformation of BA into IMA.ConclusionIn this case, the detection of driver gene KRAS mutation and loss of continuity in the basal cell layer within the mucous glandular structures of the nodule suggests the malignant transformation of BA into IMA, inferring the malignant potential of BA.…”

Effects of floodplain decoupling on taxonomic and functional diversity of terrestrial floodplain organisms by Franziska Wenskus, Christian Hecht, Daniel Hering, Kathrin Januschke, Georg Rieland, Andrea Rumm, Mathias Scholz, Arnd Weber, Peter Horchler

“…Our results underscore the complex responses of different organism groups to differences in river-floodplain connectivity and suggest that floodplain specialist species of less mobile groups are disproportionately negatively affected by floodplain decoupling, contrary to the flight-active carabids. To capture community dynamics and to ensure maximum efficiency of restoration and conservation activities, a variety of organisms and aspects of biodiversity (taxonomic and functional) needs to be considered.…”

Designing smartphone-based cognitive assessments for schizophrenia: Perspectives from a multisite study by Aishwarya Raje, Abhijit R. Rozatkar, Urvakhsh Meherwan Mehta, Ritu Shrivastava, Ameya Bondre, Manaal Amir Ahmad, Anshika Malviya, Yogendra Sen, Deepak Tugnawat, Anant Bhan, Tamonud Modak, Nabagata Das, Srilakshmi Nagendra, Erlend Lane, Juan Castillo, John A. Naslund, John Torous, Soumya Choudhary

“…Using smartphones to assess cognition in schizophrenia offers the advantages of convenience in that patients can complete assessments outside of the clinic, temporality in that longitudinal trends can be identified, and contextuality in that cognitive scores can be interpreted with other measures captured by the phone (e.g. sleep). The current study aims to design a battery of cognitive assessments corresponding to the MATRICs Consensus Battery of Cognition (MCCB), in partnership with people living with schizophrenia. …”
