Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the use of RGB drone imagery and deep learning techniques to assess plant maturity, stand count, and height, comparing these methods with traditional practices for improved efficiency and accuracy.
- A hybrid CNN-LSTM model was developed to predict relative maturity of dry beans, while the Faster R-CNN algorithm was utilized to detect early-stage plant counts, both demonstrating superior performance over conventional methods.
- The research indicates that combining drone data with environmental factors like growing degree days enhances model accuracy, and offers tools and software that could greatly benefit researchers in plant phenotyping.
Evaluation of A. actinomycetemcomitans and P. gingivalis from the mouth of patients irradiated in the head and neck region: a cross-sectional study.

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) of the maxilla in multiplanar sections and volumetric renderings were used to assess this. PT and PMAE were classified according to location and morphology.

November 2024
Background: Little is known on how the substitution of time spent in sedentary behavior (SB) patterns with time spent in physical activity impacts cardiovascular risk factors during adolescence. The study aimed to investigate how the substitution of time spent in SB and sedentary bouts with time spent in different physical activity intensities was associated with longitudinal changes in cardiovascular risk factors in analyses stratified by sex.
Methods: This is a prospective cohort study with a mean follow-up period of 3.
Evaluation of chemotherapy toxicities in patients receiving treatment for gastrointestinal cancers and therapeutic monitoring of 5-fluorouracil as a clinical support tool.
Fundam Clin Pharmacol
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is commonly used to treat gastrointestinal cancers, but severe toxicity can occur due to exposure factors related to the DPD enzyme, which is influenced by the DPYD gene.
- A study involving 47 patients assessed their 5-FU plasma levels, DPD activity, and DPYD gene variations to explore possible correlations with toxicity.
- Results indicated high rates of anemia and neutropenia among patients, with many having plasma levels outside the therapeutic range, suggesting a need for personalized treatment strategies based on DPD assessments to minimize toxicity risks.
