A new deep learning framework can accurately classify four molecular subgroups of medulloblastoma and predict critical genetic risk factors using magnetic resonance imaging, according to a study by researchers from China. The artificial intelligence model achieved a median accuracy of 77.5% for subgroup classification and up to 91.3% for predicting high-risk genetic alterations. This approach could help clinicians stratify risk and tailor therapies without invasive testing.
The research team led by Professor Daping He at Wuhan University of Technology reported a method for actively controlling the shielding efficiency of microwaves based on a micrometer-thick graphene metasurface. The continuous modulation between wave transmission and shielding in an ultra-wide range of 9.66%–99.78% is achieved, due to the remarkable anisotropy of wave-induced electron oscillation. The metasurface achieves facile preparation and open-air processability utilizing laser-induced ultrafast kinetics, facilitating its application in advanced smart electromagnetic devices. Additionally, the metasurface demonstrates potential in a novel paradigm for data electromagnetic encryption.
Acute pulmonary embolism is a life-threatening condition because it places sudden strain on the right ventricle of the heart. In a multicenter case-control study, researchers in China found that patients with pre-existing coronary artery stenosis paradoxically showed less right ventricular dysfunction after pulmonary embolism. These findings may help physicians better stratify patients by risk and improve triage decisions following acute pulmonary embolism.
In International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, researchers from Central South University and collaborators summarize the progress of Fe-Mn alloys—materials that combine strength, degradability, and MRI compatibility. These alloys not only support bone healing but also gradually dissolve, avoiding the need for secondary surgery. With advanced manufacturing like 3D printing and tailored alloy design, Fe-Mn scaffolds are moving closer to clinical use.
