Background: Differential counting (DC) of different cell types in bone marrow (BM) aspiration smears is crucial for diagnosing hematological diseases. However, a clinically applicable method for automatic DC has yet to be developed.
Objective: This study developed and validated an artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithm for identifying and classifying nucleated cells in BM smears.
This research addresses the pH-dependency limitation in electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reactions (HER) by creating heterostructures through the chemical bonding between 2D-dichalcogenides and VCT (T = OH, O) planes. The one-step solvothermal synthesis employed in this study constructs a synergistically interacted 1T phase of, e.g.

Case Presentation: A 41-year-old woman presented with painless vision loss in the right eye for 1 week. Fundus examinations showed marked disc swelling, flame-shaped hemorrhage over the superior nerve fiber area, and well-demarcated retinal ischemia superior to the fovea in the right eye.
We report a case of herpetic endophthalmitis following cataract surgery. A 65-year-old man underwent uneventful phacoemulsification and vision improved within the first few postoperative days. However, visual loss with an anterior chamber reaction of ++++ and a ++ vitreous cell were noted in the 4th postoperative week.

The results showed that one to four alleles were amplified in 60 loci and 159 alleles in all the landraces tested. The number of alleles from the current-grown landraces decreased by 7 alleles compared to the past-grown landraces.

This cryo-holder includes a specimen-holding unit (the stub) and a cryogenic energy-storing unit (a composite of three cylinders assembled with a screw). After cooling, the cryo-holder can continue supplying cryogenic energy to extend the observation time for the specimen in a conventional SEM.
