A case is presented where confusion arose about skin lesions and whether they were diabetic or electrical in origin. The deceased was a known diabetic and hypertensive man. A middle-aged person in early fifties was found unconscious in the cell and judicial autopsy was performed. He was facing trial for capital punishment of being allegedly involved in drug trafficking and money laundering. He had few marks over his fingers and foot which were considered to be electric marks produced in electric torture. also had fracture of skull and ischemic necrosis of right side of cerebrum; and contrecoup lesions. Findings are documented with photographs of the lesions. The article also depicts photographs of the scene where the victim had fallen and sustained skull fracture.

3D Imaging Resolves Human Pancreatic Duct-β-Cell Clusters During Cystic Change.

Institute of Biotechnology, National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan.
Pancreatic cystic changes in adults are increasingly identified through advanced cross-sectional imaging. However, the impact of initial/intra-lobular epithelial remodeling on the local β-cell population remains unclear. In this study, we examined 10 human cadaveric donor pancreases (tail and body regions) via integration of stereomicroscopy, clinical H&E histology, and 3D immunohistochemistry, identifying 36 microcysts (size: 1.

Purpose: To assess the colocalization of ellipsoid zone (EZ) disruption with nonperfusion in choriocapillaris (CC), retinal superficial capillary plexus (SCP), and deep capillary plexus (DCP) in diabetic patients using en face optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA).
Methods: Macular OCT and OCTA scans (3 × 3 mm) of 41 patients with diabetic retinopathy were obtained using an RTVue XR Avanti instrument. After correcting the shadow artifacts, EZ integrity was assessed in the en face OCT slab using the Gaussian mixture model clustering method compared with the corresponding EZ en face OCT of 11 age-matched normal patients.
Grading of diabetic retinopathy using a pre-segmenting deep learning classification model: Validation of an automated algorithm.
Acta Ophthalmol
October 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark.
Purpose: To validate the performance of autonomous diabetic retinopathy (DR) grading by comparing a human grader and a self-developed deep-learning (DL) algorithm with gold-standard evaluation.
Methods: We included 500, 6-field retinal images graded by an expert ophthalmologist (gold standard) according to the International Clinical Diabetic Retinopathy Disease Severity Scale as represented with DR levels 0-4 (97, 100, 100, 103, 100, respectively). Weighted kappa was calculated to measure the DR classification agreement for (1) a certified human grader without, and (2) with assistance from a DL algorithm and (3) the DL operating autonomously.

Article Synopsis
- * The study reveals that HNF1β remains attached to chromatin during both interphase and mitosis in a specific manner, aided by a protein called BTBD2 that activates Topoisomerase 1 (TOP1) during mitosis.
- * A mutation associated with "maturity onset diabetes of the young" can disrupt the interaction between HNF1β and TOP1, highlighting HNF1β's key role in chromatin remodeling and gene reactivation, which is essential for maintaining cellular identity after cell division.
FOUNTAIN: a modular research platform for integrated real-world evidence generation.

Bayer Pharmaceuticals, Sant Joan Despi, Spain.
Background: Real-world evidence (RWE) plays a key role in regulatory and healthcare decision-making, but the potentially fragmentated nature of generated evidence may limit its utility for clinical decision-making. Heterogeneity and a lack of reproducibility in RWE resulting from inconsistent application of methodologies across data sources should be minimized through harmonization.
Methods: This paper's aim is to describe and reflect upon a multidisciplinary research platform (FOUNTAIN; FinerenOne mUlti-database NeTwork for evidence generAtIoN) with coordinated studies using diverse RWE generation approaches and explore the platform's strengths and limitations.
