Wheat is a globally cultivated cereal crop with substantial protein content present in its seeds. This research aimed to develop robust methods for predicting seed protein concentration in wheat seeds using bench-top hyperspectral imaging in the visible, near-infrared (VNIR), and shortwave infrared (SWIR) regions. To fully utilize the spectral and texture features of the full VNIR and SWIR spectral domains, a computer-vision-aided image co-registration methodology was implemented to seamlessly align the VNIR and SWIR bands.

Methods: Case report.
Results: A 30-year-old healthy Caucasian man presented with painless blurred vision in the left eye.
Article Synopsis
- * Objectives: The study aimed to investigate genetic variants in two deceased neonates exhibiting uncommon OCA1 traits and to explore how TKFC variants might contribute to broader health issues.
- * Results: Genetic analysis confirmed harmful variants in both TYR and TKFC genes in the affected neonates and suggested that these variants could disrupt normal biological functions, leading to severe health problems.
Background: Patients on hemodialysis (HD) are prone to various cardiovascular complications. Two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D STE) is an innovative technique for early myocardial dysfunction detection, even with normal ejection fraction (EF).
Objective: We aim to detect left ventricle (LV) dysfunction in regular hemodialysis patients using 2D STE compared to traditional echocardiography.
Article Synopsis
- The study utilizes k-Seek software to analyze 2,504 human genomes, revealing the prevalence of simple satellites, particularly Human Satellite 3, which makes up about 8 Mb of the genetic content.
- Researchers identified ~50,000 rare tandem repeats not previously cataloged, including new variants of important genetic elements like telomeric and pericentromeric repeats.
- Findings show that while most abundant repeats are similar across populations, AG-rich repeats are notably more prevalent in African individuals; the variations in simple satellite abundances correlate with genetic relatedness among individuals, particularly in relation to specific chromosome ancestries.
