Article Synopsis
  • Innovation through process automation is improving performance in various fields, but recognizing details in images remains challenging due to variations and specific conditions.
  • Artificial intelligence simplifies this issue by using algorithms that detect specific pixels for image segmentation, utilizing modules like Efficient Sub-Pixel Convolutional Neural Networks and U-Net for effective capillary structure identification.
  • The developed model demonstrated strong performance across multiple datasets, achieving high metrics (PSNR of 37.92 and SSIM of 0.9219), and showcased its complexity in processing with varied execution times for its enhancement, segmentation, and masking modules.

Background: Static cold storage is a mainstay of the heart transplantation (HTx) process. However, the temperature distribution within the organ at each stage of HTx is unknown. In this study, we aimed to quantify how long it took for the heart to warm up and cool down and the nature of temperature distribution with the organ at each stage of HTx.

Injectable hydrogels have emerged as intelligent and versatile materials that have been proven to possess huge potential for many biomedical applications including drug delivery, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. Hydrogels are a class of polymers with highly hydrated 3D networks that have microenvironmental properties such as oxygen/nutrient permeability that are similar to the native extracellular matrix. In addition to possessing the typical advantages of conventional hydrogels, injectable hydrogels offer extra unique features, enabling minimally invasive injectability and durability for irregularly shaped sites, and the possibility of processing these materials , , additive manufacturing techniques.

Crop declines have been observed in raspberry and blueberry farms in the southwest region of Spain, which is the most important berry-producing area in the country. This study aimed to identify and characterize the pathogens associated with these diseases using molecular and morphological methods. Additionally, pathogenicity tests were performed on different raspberry, blueberry, and strawberry cultivars to determine possible susceptible hosts in the area.
