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.…”

Evolving Frameworks for the Foundation and Practice of Electronic Fetal Monitoring by Mark I. Evans, David W. Britt, Shara M. Evans, Lawrence D. Devoe, Yang Pan

“…Part of EFM's poor performance with respect to these outcomes arises from a fundamental misunderstanding of the differences between screening and diagnostic tests, subjective classifications of fetal heart rate (FHR) patterns that lead to large inter-observer variability in its interpretation, failure to appreciate early stages of fetal compromise, and poor statistical modeling for its use as a screening test. …”

Environmental Determinants of Foraging Site Revisitation by African Elephants (Loxodonta africana) by Suzanne Antoinette Jacob, Willem Frederik De Boer, Henrik Johan De Knegt, Cassander Cassijn Engelen, Michelle Henley

“…Moreover, phosphorus is the most important environmental variable influencing the revisitation rate. This study shows that analysing revisitation patterns gives valuable insight into how animals use specific sites within their home range, as the environmental covariates related to the selection of the revisitation sites differ from those related to the revisitation rate.…”
