Introduction: With With the proliferation of available ICT services, several sensors and health applications have become ubiquitous, while many applications have been developed to detect certain health conditions and early signs of disease. Currently, all these services operate independently, and the available data is heterogeneous with limited value gained from its exploitation.
Aim: The Data Sources and Gateways component aims at providing an abstracted and unified API to support the data accumulation from various sources including healthcare organisations, biosensors, laboratories and mobile applications. Meanwhile it tackles connectivity and communication issues with such information sources.
Methods: The CrowdHEALTH Data Sources and Gateways Service incorporates four main services: The Configuration Service, The DB Connection Handling Service, The File Parsing Service and The RESTful Client Service.
Results: The initial version of the component design has built upon the requirements collected from the use case participants acting also as data providers.
Conclusion: These four services presented in this paper guide the implementation of the first version of the Data Sources and Gateways component software prototype. The Data Sources and Gateways component remains to be evaluated within the context of the project and be enriched in order to meet additional end user needs.

Digital muscle reconstructions have gained attraction in recent years, serving as powerful tools in both educational and research contexts. These reconstructions can be derived from various 2D and 3D data sources, enabling detailed anatomical analyses. In this study, we evaluate the efficacy of surface scans in accurately reconstructing the volumes of the rotator cuff and teres major muscles across a diverse sample of hominoids.

Introduction And Hypothesis: This study was aimed at evaluating the therapeutic effects of a modified intravesical botulinum toxin injection technique (fewer injection sites under local anesthesia), in comparison with the conventional technique for patients with idiopathic detrusor overactivity, considering the urodynamic parameters.
Methods: In this double-blinded randomized clinical trial, 78 adult females with idiopathic detrusor overactivity were divided into two groups: conventional and modified groups. In the conventional method, patients received intradetrusor botulinum toxin injection at 20 sites under general or spinal anesthesia in a trigone-sparing fashion.

As India's population grows and urbanization accelerates, energy demand is increasing sharply while conventional sources fall behind. To tackle energy shortages and climate change, India must prioritize renewable energy sources (RES), which offer sustainable solutions. The country is rich in RES, which can enhance fuel mix for electricity generation.

Male tephritid fruit flies typically emit pheromones from rectal glands to attract mates. Consistent with this, virgin females of the cucumber fruit fly, Zeugodacus cucumis (French), were found to be attracted to volatiles emitted by crushed male rectal glands in Y-tube olfactometer bioassays. Electrophysiological studies identified several male rectal gland compounds that triggered responses in female antennae.

Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Data Sources: We searched the Medline, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus and Cochrane Library databases to identify randomised controlled trials of patients with PAD and IC published in English up to August 2024.
