Article Synopsis
  • Kindler syndrome (KS) is a rare skin condition that starts in babies and causes painful blisters, unusual skin color changes, and sensitivity to sunlight as they get older.
  • It happens because of a problem with a protein called kindlin-1, which helps skin cells stick together and move properly.
  • People with KS can have issues with their mouths that are often missed or treated wrong, and having diabetes can make these problems worse, leading to bigger challenges with healing and skin issues.

Multilevel thresholding image segmentation will subdivide an image into several meaningful regions or objects, which makes the image more informative and easier to analyze. Optimal multilevel thresholding approaches are extensively used for segmentation because they are easy to implement and offer low computational cost. Multilevel thresholding image segmentation is frequently performed using popular methods such as Otsu's between-class variance and Kapur's entropy.

Central Research Laboratory, KS. Hegde Medical Academy, Nitte (Deemed to Be University), Deralakatte, Mangalore, 575018, Karnataka, India.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a disease that causes progressive failure of lung function, and its molecular mechanism remains poorly understood. However, the AnnexinA2-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway has been identified as playing a significant role in its development. Hydroxychloroquine, a common anti-malarial drug, has been found to inhibit this pathway and slow down the progression of IPF.
