Human islets display a high degree of heterogeneity in terms of size, number, architecture, and endocrine cell-type compositions. An ever-increasing number of immunohistochemistry-stained whole slide images (WSIs) are available through the online pathology database of the Network for Pancreatic Organ donors with Diabetes (nPOD) program at the University of Florida (UF). We aimed to develop an enhanced machine learning-assisted WSI analysis workflow to utilize the nPOD resource for analysis of endocrine cell heterogeneity in the natural history of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in comparison to donors without diabetes.

Data Sources: A systematic search was conducted of 6 databases, the entire Journal of Physical Therapy Education collection, and the reference lists of included articles through March 2022.
Study Selection: English-language primary relevant research studies of all research designs were included while grey literature was excluded.
Background: The trematode parasite (liver fluke) can infect livestock, wild mammals, and humans, generating serious economic losses worldwide. Aquatic or amphibious snails of the Lymnaeidae family are the intermediate host of this parasite. Both snail population dynamics and parasite development are closely associated with temperature, although most field studies have recorded air temperature rather than water temperature.
