Molecular Advances in Abiotic Stress Signaling in Plants
Plant reactions to abiotic stresses are extraordinarily complex. They take place at various levels of plant organization, starting from changes in biochemical processes, such as respiration, photosynthesis, and transpiration, and ending during morphological and anatomical changes in plant organs. However, these above-mentioned changes are preceded by the activation of efficient molecular signaling machinery, which ensures that plants tune in to external abiotic stimuli.
Latest Research in Post-COVID (Long COVID)
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has undeniably led to the worst worldwide healthcare outbreak of the twenty-first century. Our understanding of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2 virus), the agent that causes COVID-19, has dramatically improved over the past several years. Currently, healthcare systems are facing another COVID-19 outbreak in the form of long COVID or post-COVID-19 syndrome-that is, the development and presence of long-lasting symptoms after an acute SARs-CoV-2 infection. To date, more than 100 potential long-lasting post-COVID symptoms have been attributed to SARS-COV-2. This Special Issue, which is entitled "Latest Research in Post-COVID (Long-COVID): Pathological and Treatment Studies of Sequelae and Complications" as part of the journal Biomedicines, focuses on potential gaps regarding the identification, timeframe, mechanisms, and treatment strategies associated with the management of this post-COVID-19 condition. The issue includes fourteen published papers covering the following topics: (1) treatment of this post-COVID-19 condition; (2) neonatal repercussions of SARS-CoV-2 infection; (3) risk factors of severe COVID-19; (3) phenotyping of post-COVID pain; and (5) other topics.

Effects of Ionizing Radiation in Cancer Radiotherapy
For a long time, it was widely accepted that the biological effects of ionizing radiation such as cell death, DNA damage, and mutagenesis result from the direct ionization of cell structures, particularly DNA, or from indirect damage through reactive oxygen species produced by water radiolysis. This "targeted effect" (TE) model has been questioned by numerous observations, in which cells, that were not directly irradiated, exhibited responses similar to those of directly irradiated cells. Therefore, it is now accepted that the detrimental effects of ionizing radiation are not restricted only to irradiated cells, but also to non-irradiated adjacent or distant cells.The non-targeted effects (NTEs) of ionizing radiation, which include genomic instability, radiation-induced bystander effects, and abscopal effects, are defined as the occurrence of biological effects in non-irradiated cells because of the irradiation of other cells in the population. In opposition with TE, that display a linear dose-response, NTEs exhibit a non-linear dose-response, with a marked effect at low doses of radiation. The related cellular and molecular mechanisms of NTEs are still not completely understood, as they are mainly dependent on the cell type and the radiation quality.I am pleased to share with you this Special Issue on the "Targeted and non-targeted effects of ionizing radiation in the context of cancer radiotherapy".

Advances in Diagnosis and Management of Pancreatobiliary Disorders
In recent years, the management of many diseases of the biliary tract and pancreas has undergone great changes due to the rapid progression of diagnostic and therapeutic technologies. For biliary diseases, the constant technological evolution of endoscopic methods such as EUS, ERCP, and cholangioscopy has changed the diagnostic and therapeutic approach and management of many common pathologies, such as biliary lithiasis and its complications. Pancreatology is also constantly evolving, both from a clinical and diagnostic-instrumental point of view, such as in the approach to solid and cystic lesions of the pancreas, due to the increasingly routine use of EUS, both diagnostic and therapeutic, and the new knowledge regarding rarer neoplasms such as neuroendocrine tumors. Beyond that, new technologies based on artificial intelligence are beginning to make their way into gastroenterology. The evaluation of patients with biliopancreatic pathology is becoming increasingly complex and challenging. This reprint presents the latest innovations in the management of pancreatic and biliary tract diseases with the goal of providing the Internal Medicine physician with a state-of-the-art update and insights into the most current innovations.

Clinical Management of Patients with Heart Failure
This reprint comprises chapters describing new diagnostic approaches, risk assessment strategies, challenges encountered in peculiar patients, innovative drug therapies, and invasive procedural options. It starts by pointing out the prognostic value of several biomarkers for diagnosis, risk stratification, and follow-up of patients with heart failure. Another aspect is the significance of genetic mutations in patients with life-threatening arrhythmias. Other points of interest in this reprint concern a more accurate evaluation of left ventricular systolic function that involves non-invasive methods (transthoracic echocardiography and electrocardiography Holter monitoring). Then, this reprint continues by highlighting the important contribution of various cardiovascular complications and comorbidities severely impacting the outcome of patients with heart failure. Another section of this reprint is dedicated to the therapy of chronic heart failure, starting with the importance of non-pharmacological methods and identifying patients with difficulties in their self-management that have resulted in compliance issues. Regarding therapy, special emphasis is given first to optimizing medication and, on the other hand, to employing left ventricular assistance devices, where necessary, or mechanical cardiocirculatory support as a bridge preceding cardiac transplantation. Finally, a special matter of concern is the treatment of acute heart failure where therapeutic strategies are less standardized.
