The accelerated adoption of digital pathology and advances in deep learning have enabled the development of robust models for various pathology tasks across a diverse array of diseases and patient cohorts. However, model training is often difficult due to label scarcity in the medical domain, and a model's usage is limited by the specific task and disease for which it is trained. Additionally, most models in histopathology leverage only image data, a stark contrast to how humans teach each other and reason about histopathologic entities...

Durable superhydrophobic anti-erosion/anticorrosion coatings are highly demanded across various applications. However, achieving coatings with exceptional superhydrophobicity, mechanical strength, and corrosion resistance remains a grand challenge. Herein, a robust microstructure coating, inspired by the cylindrical structures situated on the surface of conch shell, for mitigating erosion and corrosion damages in gas transportation pipelines is reported. Specifically, citric acid monohydrate as a pore-forming agent is leveraged to create a porous structure between layers, effectively buffering the impact on the surface...

The failure process of biomimetic hybrid design composite composed of layers of conch shell and pearl shell was studied through quasi-static three-point bending experiments and numerical simulations. The biomimetic conch shell structure with inclined angles serves as the upper layer of the hybrid structure, while the biomimetic pearl shell structure with traditional brick and mud structure serves as the lower layer of the hybrid structure, forming a hybrid design structure. Four inclined angles were designed for the structural units of the conch shell, namely 15°, 30°, 45°, and 60°...

While obesity is a risk factor for post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC, "long-COVID"), the mechanism(s) underlying this phenomenon remains poorly understood. To address this gap in knowledge, we performed a 6-week longitudinal study to examine immune activity and gut microbiome dysbiosis in post-acute stage patients recovering from SARS-CoV-2 infection. Self-reported symptom frequencies and blood samples were collected weekly, with plasma assessed by ELISA and Luminex for multiple biomarkers and immune cell profiling...

Understanding mechanisms inside the conche is inevitable for targeted conching. Therefore, distribution and transition of aroma-active volatiles (acetic acid, benzaldehyde, (R,S)-(±)-linalool, 2,3,5,6-tetramethylpyrazine, 2-phenylethanol, and 2-phenylethyl acetate) between the different components of dark chocolate (cocoa butter, cocoa particles, sugar particles) were studied. Different model systems were designed and aroma-analytically analyzed by stable isotope dilution analysis. Diffusion mechanisms of selected aroma-active compounds within the chocolate mass depended on their physico-chemical properties and the mass composition, such as fat content and crystallization state of the sugar particles...

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a persistent, lifelong inflammation of the digestive system. Dextran sulfate sodium is commonly used to induce colitis in experimental animal models, which causes epithelial damage, intestinal inflammation, mucin depletion, and dysbiosis of the gut microbiota. Various prebiotics, polysaccharides, and polypeptides are used for IBD treatment. In this study, we used a murine model utilizing BALB/c mice, with 10 mice per group, to investigate the treatment effect of sea conch peptide hydrolysate (CPH) on DSS-induced colitis mice...

Chocolate is a widely consumed product with high levels of polyphenols; unfortunately, it is reduced during the process. Adding other components allows for counteracting the polyphenols lost during chocolate processing and reducing the content of unsaturated fatty acids, affecting its physical properties. This study identified the conching time, concentration of sauco by-products, and levels of sacha inchi oil to produce enriched dark chocolates. For this study, sauco by-products in percentages of 2, 6 and 10%, sacha inchi oil in levels of 1, 3, and 5%, and three conching times of 16, 20, and 24 h were added to 75% dark chocolates, and the process conditions were optimized through the response surface methodology (RSM)...

The Palaeozoic sediments of the Barrandian area are globally well-known as a classic example of rocks characterised by an abundant skeletal marine fauna, including well-preserved remains of hyoliths. Several tens specimens of malformed invertebrates such as trilobites, cephalopods and gastropods have been collected and documented from Cambrian to Devonian clastic sediments and carbonates in this area. However, no malformed hyolith specimen has yet been recorded. Hyoliths are Palaeozoic animals with small calcium carbonate shells composed of the conch (= oblong, conical and bilaterally symmetrical shell of diverse cross section and aperture at its wide end) and the operculum (= cap closing the conch aperture)...

The environmental characteristics of a biological system are imbibed in some particular parameters of that system. Significant changes in any system parameter exert influence on the system dynamics as well as the persistence of interacting species. In this article, we explore the rich and tangled dynamics of an eco-epidemiological system by studying different parametric planes of the system. In the parameter planes, we find a variety of complex and subtle properties of the system, like the presence of a variety of intricate regular structures within irregular regimes, that cannot be found through a single parameter variation...

Queen conch (Aliger gigas) are large gastropod molluscs harvested for their meat, shells, and pearls and as they are generally easy to collect by hand, they are vulnerable to overfishing. In The Bahamas, fishers often clean (or "knock") their catch and dispose of the shells away from collection sites, forming midden heaps or "graveyards". Although queen conch are motile and found throughout shallow water habitats, live animals are rarely observed in the vicinity of middens, giving rise to a common belief that conch actively avoid graveyards, possibly by moving offshore...

BACKGROUND: Surgical decompression for the treatment of chronic subdural hematomas (cSDHs) is irrefutably effective; however, its utility in managing cSDH in patients with comorbid coagulopathy remains controversial. The optimal threshold for platelet transfusion in cSDH management is <100,000/mm3 , according to guidelines from the American Association of Blood Banks GRADE framework. This threshold may be unachievable in refractory thrombocytopenia, though surgical intervention may still be warranted...

Conching is a processing stage of industrial chocolate manufacture that is essential to the development of the sensory and rheological properties of the finished product. It promotes the physicochemical changes leading to flavor, aroma, and flowability refinement by continuously heating, aerating, shearing, and homogenizing chocolate mass during an extended time length. Conching duration is a key processing parameter that depends on the type of chocolate, the quality of primary ingredients, the conche's configuration, and the desired sensory outcome in the chocolate...

Biological structures possess excellent damage tolerance, which makes them attractive for ballistic protection applications. This paper develops a finite element modelling framework to investigate the performance of several biological structures that are most relevant for ballistic protection, including nacre, conch, fish scales, and crustacean exoskeleton. Finite element simulations were conducted to determine the geometric parameters of the bio-inspired structures that can survive projectile impact. The performances of the bio-inspired panels were benchmarked against a monolithic panel with the same 4...

In this study, we discussed covalent and non-covalent reactions between cocoa polyphenols and proteins (milk and cocoa) and the possible effects of these reactions on their bioaccessibility, considering environmental and processing conditions. Better insight into these interactions is crucial for understanding the biological effects of polyphenols, developing nutritional strategies, and improving food processing and storage. Protein-polyphenol reactions affect the properties of the final product and can lead to the formation of various precursors at various stages in the manufacturing process, such as fermentation, roasting, alkalization, and conching...

OBJECTIVE: To understand trends in neuronavigation we employed machine learning methods to perform a broad literature review which would be impractical by manual inspection. METHODS: PubMed was queried for articles with "Neuronavigation" in any field from inception-2020. Articles were designated neuronavigation-focused (NF) if "Neuronavigation" was a major MeSH. The latent dirichlet allocation topic modeling technique was used to identify themes of NF research. RESULTS: There were 3896 articles of which 1727 (44%) were designated as NF...
