The epidermal leaf patterns of plants exhibit remarkable diversity in cell shapes, sizes, and arrangements, driven by environmental interactions that lead to significant adaptive changes even among closely related species. The Solanaceae family, known for its high diversity of adaptive epidermal structures, has traditionally been studied using qualitative phenotypic descriptions. To advance this, we developed a workflow combining multi-scale computer vision, image processing, and data analysis to extract digital descriptors for leaf epidermal cell morphology.

Methods And Results: 321 active standing tests were performed in 87 inpatients during admission, and 316 tests were performed in 208 outpatients during follow-up. Blood pressure (BP) was measured by an automatic device 4 times in the supine position and at 1, 3 and 5 minutes of standing.
Aim To analyze the cost-effectiveness of pneumococcal vaccination in 40- and 65-year-old patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).Material and methods Analysis was performed by Markov modeling from the perspective of the healthcare system. The evaluation was based on Russian epidemiological data taking into account results of international studies.
