Growth and Variation in Fallow Deer (Dama dama L.) From Two Contrasting Habitats in Southern Britain

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We have compiled a unique data set on the age, sex, body weight and dimensions of over 500 European fallow deer from two contrasting areas of habitat in southern England: a high‐density managed parkland population and a lower‐density feral woodland one.

A Hybrid Segmentation Algorithm for Rheumatoid Arthritis Diagnosis Using X-ray Images

Big Data and Cognitive Computing
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune illness that occurs in the joints, resulting in inflammation, pain, and stiffness. X-ray examination is one of the most common diagnostic procedures for RA, but manual X-ray image analysis has limitations

Tensile properties of the transverse carpal ligament and carpal tunnel complex [PDF]

, 2015
A new sophisticated method that uses video analysis techniques together with a Maillon Rapide Delta to determine the tensile properties of the transverse carpal ligament–carpal tunnel complex has been developed. Six embalmed cadaveric specimens amputated

Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.

Epigenetic mechanisms and therapeutic innovations in chronic pain‐associated neuropsychiatric co‐morbidities

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic pain, marked by nociceptive sensitization and maladaptive neuroplasticity, affects 30% of the global population with escalating socioeconomic burdens. Epidemiological data show a 2‐3‐fold increase in neuropsychiatric co‐morbidities among individuals with chronic pain, where epigenetic dysregulation serves as a key mechanism linking ...

Delineation of Carpal Bones From Hand X-Ray Images Through Prior Model, and Integration of Region-Based and Boundary-Based Segmentations

IEEE Access, 2018
Image segmentation is critical and challenging in computer vision and medical image analysis. Despite decades of research, existing segmentation algorithms are still subject to typical segmentation problems, such as over-segmentation, under-segmentation,
