It has been shown in recent years that a range of optical diseases have early manifestation in retinal fundus images. It is becoming increasingly important to separate the regions of interest (RoI) upfront in the automated classification pipeline in order to ensure the alignment of the disease diagnosis with clinically relevant visual features. In this work, we introduce Pan-Ret, a semi-supervised framework which starts with locating the abnormalities in the biomedically relevant RoIs of a retinal image in an "annotation-agnostic" fashion.

Potassium homeostasis is essential for maintaining the normal resting membrane potential of excitable cells. Yet daily dietary potassium typically far exceeds total extracellular potassium, thus the body has elegant strategies to shift potassium into cells promptly after a meal and then the kidneys efficiently excrete potassium. Potassium excretion depends on adequate kidney perfusion and filtration, sodium delivery to the distal nephron and aldosterone action on the distal nephron.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a progressive cardiopulmonary disease characterized by elevated pulmonary artery pressure and vascular remodeling, resulting in poor prognosis and increased mortality rates. Chemokine-like factor 1 (CKLF1) plays a significant role in inducing inflammation and cell proliferation, both of which are critical processes in the pathogenesis of various diseases. Dihydromyricetin (DMY) has garnered attention for its potent anti-inflammatory properties.
