Metamorphosis-associated immune system maturation in Senegalese sole

The thyroid hormones (THs) are proposed as putative regulators of immune system maturation in developing teleost fish. To gain insight into this process the Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) that has a well-characterized TH-driven metamorphosis was used. Differential gene expression analysis was performed across developmental stages (n = 3 per stage): pre-metamorphosis, onset of metamorphosis, metamorphosis,...

Accelerated dynamic light sheet microscopy: unifying time-varying patterned ill...

Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy (LSFM) enables rapid and gentle 3D fluorescence imaging of dynamic processes over extended periods in translucent samples at the mesoscopic scale. However, its temporal resolution is constrained by the sequential acquisition of individual two-dimensional planes at varying depths, making it challenging to capture rapid dynamics such as the beating of a zebrafish heart. To addr...

Intercurrences in the inter-hospital transport of the person in critical situation

Introduction: The inter-hospital transport of the person in critical condition is a frequent procedure and represents an additional risk for the patient. Objective/s: Describe the intercurrences in the inter-hospital transport of the person in critical situation. Methods: Retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study. The study included 48 patients from the General Emergency Service of a Hospital Center in th...

Model-based deep learning framework for accelerated optical projection tomography

In this work, we propose a model-based deep learning reconstruction algorithm for optical projection tomography (ToMoDL), to greatly reduce acquisition and reconstruction times. The proposed method iterates over a data consistency step and an image domain artefact removal step achieved by a convolutional neural network. A preprocessing stage is also included to avoid potential misalignments between the sample c...

Contact allergy to gold from a coffee cup: an unusual source of sensitization

A 27-year-old woman, Fitzpatrick's phototype III, informatic engineer, presented with a one-year history of upper lip burning, pruritus, and subjective sensation of increased volume, since she started teleworking from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. The patient denied using orthodontic braces or prostheses, cosmetic products or fragrances, or other possible precipitants. On physical examination, there was a ...

Communication and dissemination of vernacular heritage

Vernacular architecture is one of the most significant cultural expressions of a socio-economic structure: it represents the way in which local materials and traditional building techniques, learned from endogenous evolutionary processes and from cultural advances, were used to respond to the physical and socio-economic needs of a group, thus generating remarkable architectural models adapted to the historical-...

Crossing dimensions and components in vernacular architecture research

Living and virtual visiting Europen World Heritage (3DPAST project) is a research focused on the vernacular heritage of world heritage properties across Europe. [...]

Allergic contact dermatitis caused by elastic bands of an N95 mask

A 29-year-old woman, Fitzpatrick phototype II, with a personal history of atopy, presented with face and neck dermatitis lasting 6 months. During the past year, she worked as a nurse in a coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)–dedicated ward of a tertiary hospital. The dermatitis had developed since she started wearing N95 masks. She referred to using two N95 masks, with similar symptoms: 3M Aura 9320+ N95 mask (3...

Deep learning methods for automatic evaluation of delayed enhancement-MRI. The ...

A key factor for assessing the state of the heart after myocardial infarction (MI) is to measure whether the myocardium segment is viable after reperfusion or revascularization therapy. Delayed enhancement-MRI or DE-MRI, which is performed 10 min after injection of the contrast agent, provides high contrast between viable and nonviable myocardium and is therefore a method of choice to evaluate the extent of MI....
