The growing obesity epidemic necessitates increased research on adipocyte and adipose tissue function and disease mechanisms that progress obesity. Historically, adipocytes were viewed simply as storage for excess energy. However, recent studies have demonstrated that adipocytes play a critical role in whole-body homeostasis, are involved in cell communication, experience forces in vivo, and respond to mechanical stimuli.

The lack of systematic knowledge about the relationship between structure, property, and preparation parameters may be provided by applying a machine learning (ML) methodology and predictive models based on the quantitative structure-property-condition relationship (QSPCR). In the present study, for the first time, the quantitative mapping of preparation parameters, morphology, and photocatalytic activity of 136 TiO NTs doped with metal and non-metal nanoparticles synthesized with the one-step anodization method has been investigated via linear and nonlinear ML methods.

- The study highlights the use of high-speed digital imaging (HSDI) to analyze vocal fold vibrations, which aids in diagnosing various types of dysphonia.
- Conducted at the Medical University of Białystok, the research involved patients from 2012-2015, employing a rigid endoscope to observe vocal fold behavior while pronouncing the "e" vowel at 4000 frames per second.
- Results showed 71% of patients had functional dysphonia, while 29% had organic dysphonia; HSDI provided a quick and non-invasive way to assess glottal closure and differentiate types and severity of vocal disorders.
Unlabelled: Paralytic dysphonia is the most serious neurogenic pathology of voice quality. An important issue is to identify methods which support routine treatment.
Aim: The aim of the study is to assess voice quality after electrostimulation (ES) therapy in patients with paralytic dysphonia.
