... For example, the team at the University of Florida was successful in labeling T cells specific to the PMEL marker on brain tumor cells using SPIOs and tracking them toward aggressive tumors of glioma in a murine model [36]. In another approach, researchers at Stanford labeled CAR-T cells specific to the cancer checkpoint marker B7-H3 using a mechanoporation approach and successfully tracked the labeled cells to a tumor xenograft using a multimodal imaging approach encompassing MPI, MRI, and photoacoustic imaging [151]. ...

... Previous studies have focused on a single year of a conference 31,45 , or focused on subgroups of conference presenters 45 or presenters only without assessing the gender balance of conference organising committees 19,31,32,40,45 . In contrast, our study makes use of eight years of data from the RCRASM, using information on presenters in all roles, and on the gender balance of the conference committees to give as complete a picture as possible of the patterns of involvement of women and men at all levels of the RCRASM, and to assess for changes in these patterns over recent years. ...

... Laboratory examinations such as conventional CEA can facilitate patient screening to some extent (32). Computed tomography, ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging are all helpful for early diagnosis (33)(34)(35). However, these methods and the diagnostic gold standard, tissue biopsy, have certain limitations. ...

... The potential risks of gadolinium contrast administration may be offset by improved diagnostic accuracy [92][93][94], in particular in pediatric stroke when time-to-diagnosis is vital for the prevention of neurological injury and death, and by improved prognostication [95][96][97]. Alternative contrast agents, including liposomes, micelles, and inorganic nanoparticles (e.g., ferumoxytol), remain an active area of study [98,99]. ...

... While some studies have suggested that male sex is associated with worse NAS, others have not (Jansson et al., 2010;Unger et al., 2011;Charles et al., 2017). Sex is an important biological variable that contributes to the fundamental differences seen in many diseases and pharmacologic responses (Bartz et al., 2020;Kantarci et al., 2020;Zucker and Prendergast, 2020;Sharifi et al., 2021). An urgent need exists to incorporate sex in the evaluation and management of NAS. ...

... Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is routine in central nervous system (CNS) diagnostics [1], whole-body imaging (WBI) [2], in oncological questions [3] and suspected inflammatory processes [4]. In abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diffusion-weighted sequences can reliably detect lesions and provide functional information on tumor tissue, like cellular density [5][6][7]. Frequently, a DWI with evaluation of the corresponding apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) is included in most abdominal MRI protocols [8]. However, the use of DWI in abdominal imaging can be problematic due to respiratory motion artefacts, and due to greatly prolonged acquisition times in combination with respiratory gating [9], which is intensified in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients who suffer from irregular breathing patterns in the supine position during abdominal MR examinations [10,11]. ...

... These same students have a high dropout rate, lack mentors, and lack knowledge about the variety of careers available to them [17]. Lack of mentorship has been cited as a major contributing factor for the underrepresentation of Black trainees within the field of radiology [18]. ...

... For this reason, the pig is an attractive potential model for the study of certain pathologies [11]. In particular, mini pigs are widely used in medical research as a source of organs for xenotransplantation [12,13], as a model of cartilage repair [14,15], and in the field of embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells research [16]. In recent years, many researchers have actively sought for techniques to create lines of porcine MSCs from various tissues. ...

... At the same time, two stated explicitly that COVID-19 and its consequences led to or could lead to a decrease in engagement with EDI [273] and DEI [274]. Four abstracts stated that the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted existing diversity, equity, and inclusion challenges such in the STEM field [275], the U.S. healthcare delivery system [276], the role of nurses [277], and gender pay equity, diversity, and inclusion [278]. One stated that "the COVID-19 pandemic has posed major challenges for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts in research and academia" [279] (p. ...

... Immunoglobulin-coated and fibrinogencoated nanosheets generated much stronger inflammatory effects (cytokine release) than the other two blood proteins. The question of whether the biomolecular corona induces an allergic reaction was addressed by Muehe et al. (2021). They sought a correlation between hypersensitivity reactions in patients and specific protein corona profiles around ferumoxytol NPs used clinically for the treatment of anemia and in molecular imaging. ...
