Exploring the potential of cluster analysis in identifying disease phenotypes in CPPD: Moving from intuition to insight

BACKGROUND: Calcium pyrophosphate deposition (CPPD) disease is a heterogeneous condition and is frequently misdiagnosed due to the different clinical presentations and variable disease progression. Aim of this study is to identify clinical phenotypes of CPPD disease by integratin...

Use of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging after hospitalization for acute heart failure: insights from the French nationwide OFICA-2 cohort

Abstract Background Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has a central role in the management of patients with acute heart failure (AHF), but timely access remains heterogeneous. We investigated real-world CMR use in patients hospitalized for AHF and its associations with demographic...

Ground beetles in agroforestry system show functional traits and activity-density differences according to distance to trees

Alley-cropping systems are arable agroforestry systems in which tree rows and associated grassy strips are established within cropped fields. This constitutes a promising approach to promote biodiversity and associated services in the vicinity of crops. However, there is still li...

From fluid loss to calcification: MRI and CT matrix features in cystic echinococcosis

Abstract Objective To characterize MRI matrix signal and CT calcification patterns across WHO-IWGE stages, compare them with lesion mimicking cystic echinococcosis (CE), and derive an MRI-based subclassification for inactive cysts. Materials and methods This retrospective multice...

On the Conceptual Overstretch of Weaponized Interdependence in Lithium and Rare‐Earth Element Markets

ABSTRACT This paper critically examines the conceptual overstretch of weaponized interdependence (WI) in analyses of China's dominance over lithium and rare‐earth element (REE) markets. Although WI has become a central framework for interpreting EU–China economic relations, its a...
