Reducing reading time and assessing disease in capsule endoscopy videos: A deep learning approach.

Background: The wireless capsule endoscope (CE) is a valuable diagnostic tool in gastroenterology, offering a safe and minimally invasive visualization of the gastrointestinal tract. One of the few drawbacks identified by the gastroenterology community is the time-consuming task of analyzing CE videos.

Objectives: This article investigates the feasibility of a computer-aided diagnostic method to speed up CE video analysis.

The Use of Principal Component Analysis for Reduction in Sleep Quality and Quantity Data in Female Professional Soccer.

The main aim of the present study was to uncover multivariate relationships between sleep quantity and quality using principal component analysis (PCA) in professional female soccer players. A second aim was to examine the extent to which objective sleep quantity and quality variables can discriminate between perceived sleep. Ten objective sleep variables from the multisensory sleep-tracker were analyzed.

No match, more sleep: Greater weekend catch-up sleep in youth soccer players on free weekends.

This study aimed to compare young soccer players' week and weekend sleep behaviors in two different microcycle types: with and without an official match (no sporting commitments). Twenty-three youth male players (mean ± SD; age: 17.2 ± 0.

Metabolic Fitness of NAC1-Deficient Regulatory T Cells in the Tumor Microenvironment Fuels Tumor Growth.

The nucleus accumbens-associated protein-1 (NAC1) has recently emerged as a pivotal factor in oncogenesis by promoting glycolysis. Deletion of NAC1 in regulatory T cells (Tregs) has been shown to enhance FoxP3 stability, a suppressor of glycolysis. This study delves into the intriguing dual role of NAC1, uncovering that Tregs-specific deletion of NAC1 fosters metabolic fitness in Tregs, thereby promoting tumorigenesis.

Metastable Oscillatory Modes as a Signature of Entropy Management in the Brain.

Entropy management, central to the Free Energy Principle, requires a process that temporarily shifts brain activity toward states of lower or higher entropy. Metastable synchronization is a process by which a system achieves entropy fluctuations by intermittently transitioning between states of collective order and disorder. Previous work has shown that collective oscillations, similar to those recorded from the brain, emerge spontaneously from weakly stable synchronization in critically coupled oscillator systems.
