COMP Report: Patient‐specific quality assurance practices in Canadian radiotherapy—results from a national survey

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Patient‐specific quality assurance (PSQA) is an essential component of modern radiotherapy, ensuring safe and accurate delivery of increasingly complex treatments. Given its resource‐intensive nature and the availability of evolving approaches, examining how PSQA is implemented and optimized across Canada is important to inform best practices.

TRAP5 Inhibition Targeting Scar‐Associated Macrophages Ameliorates Acute Kidney Injury to Chronic Kidney Disease Transition

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
This study delineates macrophage heterogeneity along the acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease transition. Single‐cell RNA sequencing reveals a TRAP5+ scar‐associated macrophage subset driven by Spp1–Cd44 signaling and mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming.

Telecological Collapse: The Inevitability of Climate Breakdown in the Transmedial Podcast Drama Forest 404

Future Humanities, Volume 4, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a close‐hearing analysis of Forest 404, a transmedial audio drama that was released to BBC Sounds in 2019. Despite the drama's eco‐dystopian critique of teleological ‘progress’ narratives (that enable and perpetuate the destruction of the natural world), I argue that the series ultimately propagates a sense of inevitability

Liver Stiffness Characterization of OGTLKO Mouse Model of Progressive Liver Fibrosis

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 5, Page 1069-1082, May 2026.
Objectives O‐GlcNAcylation plays a key regulatory role in hepatic physiology, and its disruption leads to fibrosis in liver‐specific OGT knockout mice (OGTLKO), making this model valuable for studying advanced metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatohepatitis (MASH).

Subterranean Mine Inspection Using the Prometheus Re‐Configurable Drone

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 1646-1660, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper describes the design, development, and real‐world testing of an autonomous drone for subterranean exploration, known as “Prometheus.” Driven by requirements from industry that the drone be able to be deployed through areas of restricted access, Prometheus was designed to be directly deployed through a 150 mm aperture.

Collaborative Sampling and Imaging of Phytoplankton Communities by Two Long‐Range Autonomous Underwater Vehicles Using Acoustic Tracking and Messaging

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 1861-1870, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Collaborative operation of multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) can effectively achieve scientific goals that are hard to achieve by independently operated vehicles. Some science payloads are large, expensive, and need to be installed in the vehicle's nose cone. A vehicle can only carry one such payload.
