A critical analysis of the global oases mapping
Hernández-Agüero et al. (2025) recently published an article on the global distribution of oases, reporting quantitative and spatial data about their global distribution, as well as a focus on the Asia and North Africa (ANA) region. An in-depth review of the published results and of the overall applied approach found significantly inconsistent data and a lack of a solid and accurate theoretical approach.
Saline Displacement of Rectal Wall for Improved Margin During MRI-Guided Transurethral Ultrasound Ablation (TULSA) - CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology
Abstract MRI-guided transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) is an effective treatment for prostate cancer, but proximity to the rectum presents a challenge for ablation margin. We report the first case using saline infusion to displace the rectal wall during TULSA, allowing for improved treatment margins while minimizing rectal risk. A 67-year-old male with a Gleason score 3 + 4 = 7 lesion underwent right hemiablation with saline infusion achieving 5.3 mm displacement.

Land potential assessment and trend-analysis using 2000-2021 FAPAR monthly time-series at 250 m spatial resolution
The results of modeling actual FAPAR and variable importance assessment in our work clearly show that the key variables that explain the variation in the monthly FAPAR are the length of the growing season, the forest indicator and the annual precipitation. Our results are in line with the findings of Hengl et al. (2018) on modelling FAPAR, who applied a similar methodological approach to model FAPAR for the years 2014–2017 based on machine learning and environmental covariate layers.
