Lightweight LDA-UNet for accurate and interpretable visualization of retinopathy of prematurity
Abstract Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is one of the main causes of blindness in children.Timely prevention and treatment can effectively control its progression.Although convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely studied Bosch KIR81AF30G Tall Integrated Larder Fridge in the field of ROP detection, limitations such as parameter redund
Stuttering priapism in a pediatric patient with pheochromocytoma-induced thrombocytosis
Priapism is an erection of more than 4 h without sexual stimulation.Ischemic priapism may lead to irreversible erectile dysfunction after a long-lasting period.Stuttering priapism is characterized by a pattern of recurrence that may progress to an unrelenting ischemic Breast Pumps crisis, which is a urological emergency.Few reports have revealed th
Mapping carcass and meat quality QTL on Sus Scrofa chromosome 2 in commercial finishing pigs
Abstract Quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting carcass and meat quality located on SSC2 were identified using variance component methods.A large number of traits involved in meat and carcass quality was detected in a commercial crossbred population: 1855 pigs sired by 17 boars from a synthetic line, which where homozygous (A/A) for IGF2.Using com
MiR-9 promotes tumorigenesis and angiogenesis and is activated by MYC and OCT4 in human glioma
Abstract Background Glioma, characterized by its undesirable prognosis and poor survival rate, is a serious threat to human health and lives.MicroRNA-9 (miR-9) is implicated in the regulation of multiple tumors, while the mechanisms underlying its aberrant expression and functional alterations in human glioma are still controversial.Methods Breast
