Published: January 2003

The PRINTS database houses a collection of protein fingerprints. These may be used to assign uncharacterised sequences to known families and hence to infer tentative functions. The September 2002 release (version 36.0) includes 1800 fingerprints, encoding approximately 11 000 motifs, covering a range of globular and membrane proteins, modular polypeptides and so on. In addition to its continued steady growth, we report here the development of an automatic supplement, prePRINTS, designed to increase the coverage of the resource and reduce some of the manual burdens inherent in its maintenance. The databases are accessible for interrogation and searching at http://www.bioinf.man.ac.uk/dbbrowser/PRINTS/.

Purpose: The application of histotripsy, an emerging noninvasive, non-ionizing, and non-thermal tumor treatment, is currently limited by the inherent limitations of diagnostic ultrasound as the sole targeting modality. This study evaluates the feasibility and accuracy of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) guidance for histotripsy treatments in an porcine model.

Materials And Methods: Histotripsy treatments were performed in the liver of seven healthy swine under the guidance of a C-arm CBCT system that was calibrated to the robotic arm of the histotripsy system.

Background: The increasing bureaucratic burden in everyday clinical practice impairs doctor-patient communication (DPC). Effective use of digital technologies, such as automated semantic speech recognition (ASR) with automated extraction of diagnostically relevant information can provide a solution.

Objective: The aim was to determine the extent to which ASR in conjunction with semantic information extraction for automated documentation of the doctor-patient dialogue (ADAPI) can be integrated into everyday clinical practice using the IVI routine as an example and whether patient care can be improved through process optimization.

Monitoring animal populations is crucial for assessing the health of ecosystems. Traditional methods, which require extensive fieldwork, are increasingly being supplemented by time-lapse camera-trap imagery combined with an automatic analysis of the image data. The latter usually involves some object detector aimed at detecting relevant targets (commonly animals) in each image, followed by some postprocessing to gather activity and population data.

Multimodal sleep staging network based on obstructive sleep apnea.

Front Comput Neurosci

December 2024

School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Chongqing University of Technology, Chongqing, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Automatic sleep staging is important for diagnosing sleep disorders, but existing methods mainly focus on healthy populations, neglecting conditions like Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
  • The study introduces a new deep learning model called MSDC-SSNet, which utilizes electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrooculogram (EOG) signals to improve classification through advanced techniques like Transformer encoders and Multi-Scale Feature Extraction Modules.
  • The model demonstrated an 80.4% accuracy on OSA data and outperformed other leading methods, enhancing its practicality for diverse sleep populations.

Investigation of potential cytotoxicity of a water-soluble, red-fluorescent [70]fullerene nanomaterial in .

Nanotoxicology

December 2024

Department of Systems Engineering and Biology, Silesian University of Technology, Faculty of Automatic Control, Electronics and Computer Science, Gliwice, Poland.

Fullerenes (C, C) as carbon nanomaterials can enter the environment through natural processes and anthropogenic activities, while synthetic fullerenes are commonly used in medicine in targeted therapies in association with antibodies, or anticancer and antimicrobial drugs. As the nanoparticles, they can pass through cell membranes and organelles and accumulate in the entire cytoplasm. The red-fluorescent, water-soluble [70]fullerene derivative C-OMe-ser, which produces reactive oxygen species upon illumination with an appropriate wavelength, passed into the cytoplasm of the middle region in the digestive system.
