Segmentation and Estimation of Fetal Biometric Parameters using an Attention Gate Double U-Net with Guided Decoder Architecture.

The fetus's health is evaluated with the biometric parameters obtained from the low-resolution ultrasound images. The accuracy of biometric parameters in existing protocols typically depends on conventional image processing approaches and hence, is prone to error. This study introduces the Attention Gate Double U-Net with Guided Decoder (ADU-GD) model specifically crafted for fetal biometric parameter prediction.

Double fetus in fetu.

Fetus in fetu (FIF) is an extremely rare cause of infantile abdominal mass where a rudimentary, malformed monozygotic-diamniotic twin grows inside the other twin. We describe a male infant with double or twin fetuses in fetu. The diagnosis was made on a computerized tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen and confirmed on surgery.

SEARCHGTr: a program for analysis of glycosyltransferases involved in glycosylation of secondary metabolites.

SEARCHGTr is a web-based software for the analysis of glycosyltransferases (GTrs) involved in the biosynthesis of a variety of pharmaceutically important compounds like adriamycin, erythromycin, vancomycin etc. This software has been developed based on a comprehensive analysis of sequence/structural features of 102 GTrs of known specificity from 52 natural product biosynthetic gene clusters. SEARCHGTr is a powerful tool that correlates sequences of GTrs to the chemical structures of their corresponding substrates.

Xylanase production by the thermophilic mold Humicola lanuginosa in solid-state fermentation.

Among the lignocellulosic substrates tested, wheat bran supported a high xylanase (EC 3.2.1.
