Background: INTER- and INTRAmuscular fat (IMF) is elevated in high metabolic states and can promote inflammation. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) excels in depicting IMF, the lack of reproducible tools prevents the ability to measure change and track intervention success.
Methods: We detail an open-source fully-automated iterative threshold-seeking algorithm (ITSA) for segmenting IMF from T1-weighted MRI of the calf and thigh within three cohorts (CaMos Hamilton (N = 54), AMBERS (N = 280), OAI (N = 105)) selecting adults 45-85 years of age.

We report DGA extraction chromatography isolation of Mn from isotopically enriched Fe. The method has been studied in semi-automated and automated realizations. The former achieves a decay corrected radiochemical yield of 78 ± 1 % (n = 3) and a separation factor of (1.

High-resolution optical microscopy, particularly super-resolution localization microscopy, requires precise real-time drift correction to maintain constant focus at nanoscale precision during the prolonged data acquisition. Existing methods, such as fiducial marker tracking, reflection monitoring, and bright-field image correlation, each provide certain advantages but are limited in their broad applicability. In this work, a versatile and robust drift correction technique is presented for single-molecule localization-based super-resolution microscopy.

To address these issues, we created a fully automated workflow to enumerate jejunal crypts in a microcolony survival assay to quantify gastrointestinal damage from radiation.
Methods And Materials: After abdominal irradiation of mice, jejuna were obtained and prepared on histopathologic slides, and crypts were counted manually by trained individuals.
