Intestinal contractions are one of the most important events to diagnose motility pathologies of the small intestine. When visualized by wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE), the sequence of frames that represents a contraction is characterized by a clear wrinkle structure in the central frames that corresponds to the folding of the intestinal wall. In this paper, we present a new method to robustly detect wrinkle frames in full WCE videos by using a new mid-level image descriptor that is based on a centrality measure proposed for graphs. We present an extended validation, carried out in a very large database, that shows that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance for this task.

Article Synopsis
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been utilized since the 1800s for various medical conditions, helping reduce the need for invasive procedures.
- This narrative review focuses on the history and current applications of PRP in dermatology, analyzing studies across several databases that pertain specifically to human subjects.
- Over time, PRP has evolved from treating wounds to addressing skin issues like wrinkles, hair loss, and pigmentation disorders, utilizing its healing properties to promote tissue regeneration.

Yellow mosaic disease (YMD) with typical symptoms of alternating bright yellow to green patches associated with stunting, downward cupping, and wrinkling has been observed in mung bean on agricultural farms in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. PCR using gene-specific primers indicated the presence of the yellow mosaic virus in symptomatic plants. Rolling circle amplification (RCA) followed by restriction digestion detected ~2.

A comprehensive modeling framework for the thermoforming of polymer matrix woven laminate composite was developed. Two numerical indicators, the slip path length and traction magnitude, have been identified to be positively correlated to matrix smearing and wrinkling defects. The material model has been calibrated with picture-frame experimental results, and the prediction accuracy for intra-ply shear and thickness distribution was examined with measurements of the physically formed parts.

Background: Pediatric heart failure is associated with high mortality rates and is a current clinical burden. There is only one FDA approved pediatric VAD, Berlin Heart EXCOR, for treatment. Thrombo-embolic complications are a significant clinical challenge, which can lead to devastating complications such as stroke and impair efficient EXCOR function.

In this narrative review, we sought to provide a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms underlying cutaneous senescence, framed by the twelve traditional hallmarks of aging. These include genomic instability, telomere attrition, epigenetic alterations, loss of proteostasis, impaired macroautophagy, deregulated nutrient sensing, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, stem cell exhaustion, altered intercellular communication, chronic inflammation, and dysbiosis. We also examined how topical interventions targeting these hallmarks can be integrated with conventional aesthetic medicine techniques to enhance skin rejuvenation.
