Astaxanthin biofortification enhances tobacco tolerance to lead stress through boosting antioxidant defense, reducing Pb accumulation, and modulating detoxification pathways

Introduction: Heavy metal pollution including lead (Pb) has become one of the serious global issues threatening food security, human health, and the ecosystem. Exogenous application of astaxanthin (ATX), a potent natural antioxidant, has be...

Genome-wide association analysis uncovers rice blast resistance alleles of Ptr and Pia

Abstract A critical step to maximize the usefulness of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in plant breeding is the identification and validation of candidate genes underlying genetic associations. This is of particular importance in dis...

The change of gut microbiota in MDD patients under SSRIs treatment

Abstract The alterations in the gut microbiota have been reported to be correlated with the development of depression. The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of intestinal microbiota in depressed patients after antidepress...

Changes in the nonlinear and viscoelastic mechanical properties of the rat lamina cribrosa under chronic high intraocular pressure

IntroductionThe lamina cribrosa (LC) in the optic nerve head is the initial site of glaucomatous optic nerve injury. Under high intraocular pressure (IOP), the deformation of the LC compresses the retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons passing t...

Preparation and evaluation of mushroom (Lentinus edodes) and mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) as dog food attractant

Chicken liver is a main protein source to prepare attractant for dog food. However, animal proteins are costly. Seeking high quality and low-cost protein sources has been a goal for the industry. Mushroom Lentinus edodes (L. edodes) and Mea...

The Downregulation of eIF3a Contributes to Vemurafenib Resistance in Melanoma by Activating ERK via PPP2R1B

Vemurafenib, a BRAF V600E inhibitor, provides therapeutic benefits for patients with melanoma, but the frequent emergence of drug resistance remains a challenge. An understanding of the mechanisms underlying vemurafenib resistance may gener...

Robotic-assisted anatomic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a comparative analysis of modified transtibial and anteromedial portal techniques in cadaveric knees

Introduction: This study employed surgical robot to perform anatomic single-bundle reconstruction using the modified transtibial (TT) technique and anteromedial (AM) portal technique. The purpose was to directly compare tunnel and graft cha...

Molecular Informatics, Chemometrics, and Sensory Omics for Constructing an Umami Peptide Cluster Library Across the Entire Lager Beer Brewing Process

Umami taste in lager beer not only determined body fullness and the backbone of aftertaste, but also affected the controllability and interpretability of flavor expression across the entire brewing process. Based on stage-wise sampling, pep...

Physical, psychological and behavioural responses of aircraft occupants to volcanic emissions

Abstract Volcanic eruptions produce plumes of ash, gas and aerosols that present a risk to aviation at all standard flight levels. Here, we investigate atmospheric dispersal of volcanic emissions, whether and how they infiltrate aircraft, a...

Corrigendum: New Sesquiterpenoids From Plant-Associated Irpex lacteus

Health Technology Assessment

This article describes health technology assessment (HTA) as an evaluation tool that applies systematic methods of inquiry to the generation and use of health technologies and new products. The focus of this article is on the contributions ...

TRANSFER LEARNING: INCEPTION-V3 BASED CUSTOM CLASSIFICATION APPROACH FOR FOOD IMAGES

Deep-learning approach has become more popular in the field of image processing. When it is concerned with health issues, there are lots of improvements in the applications of food image classification by deep learning methods. Transfer lea...

ACHENY: A standard Chenopodiaceae image dataset for deep learning models

This paper contains datasets related to the “Efficient Deep Learning Models for Categorizing Chenopodiaceae in the wild” (Heidary-Sharifabad et al., 2021). There are about 1500 species of Chenopodiaceae that are spread worldwide and often a...

SNPPhenA: a corpus for extracting ranked associations of single-nucleotide polymorphisms and phenotypes from literature

Abstract Background Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are among the most important types of genetic variations influencing common diseases and phenotypes. Recently, some corpora and methods have been developed with the purpose of extra...

Workshop on medical informatics and engineering

MI&E 2009 will bring researchers, developers, practitoners, and users to present their latest research, results, and ideas in all areas of medical informatics, engineering and artificial intelligence in medicine and health care....

Examining the characteristic features of lipedema and the usefulness of BMI and WHtR in clinical evaluation

Abstract Background Lipedema is an adipose tissue disorder involving mostly women. One of the most characteristic lipedema symptoms is painful accumulation of adipose tissue in lower and upper extremities leading to disproportion. Due to th...

Wrist movements induce torque and lever force in the scaphoid: an ex vivo study

Abstract Purpose We hypothesised that intercarpal K-wire fixation of adjacent carpal bones would reduce torque and lever force within a fractured scaphoid bone. Methods In eight cadaver wrists, a scaphoid osteotomy was stabilised using a lo...

G-Aligner: a graph-based feature alignment method for untargeted LC–MS-based metabolomics

Abstract Background Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry is widely used in untargeted metabolomics for composition profiling. In multi-run analysis scenarios, features of each run are aligned into consensus features by feature alignment ...
