A Synthetic Dataset for Semantic Segmentation of Waterbodies in Out-of-Distribution Situations.

In the past decade, substantial global efforts have been devoted to the development of reliable and efficient solutions for early flood warning and monitoring. One of the most common strategies for tackling this challenge involves the application of computer vision techniques to images obtained from the numerous surveillance cameras present in urban settings today. While there are various datasets available for training and testing these techniques, none of them specifically addresses the issue of out-of-distribution (OoD) behavior.

Biomolecular Dynamics of Nitric Oxide Metabolites and HIF1α in HPV Infection.

Introduction: Viral infections cause oxygen deprivation, leading to hypoxia or anoxia in certain tissues. The limitation of mitochondrial respiration is one of the major events during hypoxia that induces alternative metabolic activities and increased levels of certain biomolecules such as nitric oxide (NO) metabolites. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of NO metabolites and hypoxia in HPV infection.

Exploring the Multifaceted Potential of Endangered Sturgeon: Caviar, Meat and By-Product Benefits.

Sturgeons are facing critical endangerment due to overfishing, habitat destruction, pollution and climate change. Their roe, highly prized as caviar, has driven the overexploitation, severely depleting wild populations. In recent years sturgeon aquaculture has experienced significant growth, primarily aimed at providing high-quality caviar and secondarily meat.

The Cellular Stress and Cutaneous Manifestations in Renal Cell Carcinomas-A Narrative Review.

The carcinomas originating from the renal cortex are the most aggressive renal malignancies, with a high tendency for metastasis. Understanding the incidence of cutaneous manifestations caused by renal carcinomas is a challenge. In the first part, this article summarizes a series of factors that promote oncogenesis, invasiveness, and the ability of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) to develop secondary cutaneous manifestations.

The Interplay between Nitrosative Stress, Inflammation, and Antioxidant Defense in Patients with Lichen Planus.

Background: Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of unelucidated etiology. LP immunopathogenesis is mainly governed by cytotoxic T lymphocytes that mediate an immune response in basal keratinocytes, which may transform into a reservoir of antigens able to initiate an autoimmune reaction. However, other pathogenic pathways complement these mechanisms.
