Automating the image analysis process for oncologic whole-body positron emission tomography–computed tomography data is a key area of interest. Gatidis et al. describe the autoPET 2022 challenge, an international competition focused on the segmentation of metabolically active tumour lesions, aiming to advance techniques in the field.
The annual toxic smog that forms over swathes of India and Pakistan is preventable, but the nations’ scientists have too little opportunity to help tackle the problem.

In the wake of unprecedented floods that displaced half a million people in southern Brazil, researchers are investigating how to prevent long-term mental trauma and provide lessons for other regions dealing with disasters.
Community health workers (CHWs) have demonstrated effectiveness in delivering EBTs; however, the integration of CHWs in the U.S. mental health system remains limited.
