Mapping the mismatch between building and population growth: A global study of 1,700 cities by Siwei Lou, Yu Huang, Yukai Zou, Dawei Xia

“…Summary: The proportionality between urban building expansion and population growth is a key indicator of sustainable development, yet its global patterns and drivers remain underexplored. This study investigates the discrepancies between building volume and population growth rates (ΔR) across 1,744 cities in 12 major global economies from 2000 to 2020 using satellite-based building volume and population databases. …”

Endoscopic endonasal approaches for resection of suprasellar pituitary neuroendocrine tumors: a novel classification based on the optic chiasm and operative nuances by Xuechao Wu, Cuiping Sun, Wei Tian, Zhongyuan Bao, Hongwei Gao, Jing Wang, Xiaojie Lu, Qing Wang

“…Conclusion The classification of suprasellar PitNETs into four types based on their relationship with the optic chiasm enhances our understanding of tumor growth patterns and aids in preoperative assessment. Consequently, determining individualized surgical strategies using EEAs for suprasellar PitNETs can lead to higher resection rates and better visual outcomes.…”
