The dataset represents a significant advancement in Bengali lip-reading and visual speech recognition research, poised to drive future applications and technological progress. Despite Bengali's global status as the seventh most spoken language with approximately 265 million speakers, linguistically rich and widely spoken languages like Bengali have been largely overlooked by the research community. fills this gap by offering a pioneering dataset tailored for Bengali lip-reading, comprising visual data from 150 speakers across 54 classes, encompassing Bengali phonemes, alphabets, and symbols.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how somatic mitochondrial DNA mutations influence the development of leukemia, specifically through experiments with hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) from genetically modified mice.
  • Researchers found that recipients of heterozygous mtDNA mutator HPCs had a higher spontaneous leukemia incidence, while homozygous mtDNA mutator HPCs had a lower incidence when combined with NMyc overexpression.
  • Both types of HPCs exhibited mitochondrial function impairments, but only heterozygous HPCs adapted to the metabolic demands of NMyc overexpression, as demonstrated by altered glucose utilization linked to metabolic changes in homozygous HPCs.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability throughout the world. Despite significant advances in medical care, many TBI survivors continue to have cognitive, physical, and psychological deficits that have a significant impact on their quality of life. Neuromodulation techniques, which use electrical or magnetic stimulation to modulate brain activity, have shown promise in the treatment of TBI symptoms.
