Background And Objective: This article uses three different probabilistic convolutional architectures applied to ultrasound image analysis for grading Fatty Liver Content (FLC) in Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) patients. Steatosis is a new silent epidemic and its accurate measurement is an impelling clinical need, not only for hepatologists, but also for experts in metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. This paper aims to provide a robust comparison between different uncertainty quantification strategies to identify advantages and drawbacks in a real clinical setting.

Guaymas Basin, located in the Gulf of California, is a hydrothermally active marginal basin. Due to steep geothermal gradients and localized heating by sill intrusions, microbial substrates like short-chain fatty acids and hydrocarbons are abiotically produced from sedimentary organic matter at comparatively shallow depths. We analyzed the effect of hydrocarbons on uptake of hydrocarbons by microorganisms via nano-scale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS) and microbial sulfate reduction rates (SRR), using samples from two drill sites sampled by IODP Expedition 385 (U1545C and U1546D).

The use of proteins to produce oil-containing microcapsules has been previously analyzed; however, their chemical modification, in order to improve their performance as wall materials, is a strategy that has not been widely developed yet. This study aimed to analyze the chemical modification of the proteins through cross-linking reactions with tannic acid and to evaluate their performance as wall materials to the microencapsulation of oils rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids. The cross-linking reaction of isolated soy protein and tannic acid was carried out at pH 10-11 and 60 °C.

Biological polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are important precursors of secondary messengers that modulate inflammatory responses, cellular growth, and cholesterol metabolism. The optimal / ratio is extremely important for maintaining normal homeostasis because and PUFAs are competitively metabolized. To date, a widely accepted analytical method to determine the biological / ratio is gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) on dried whole blood samples.
