Hair Degradation Patterns in Aquatic and Soil Environments

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hair is a biological material that can provide information in archaeology and forensics. Previous studies have mainly examined changes occurring post‐mortem. In this study, we focused on hair pulled out ante‐mortem. The aim of the study was to identify patterns in the degradation of hair in water and soil.

AI‐Assisted Fungal Detection in Dermatopathology: A Study on Accuracy, Efficiency, and Usability

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.
Summary Background and Objectives AI‐based image analysis is increasingly applied in pathology. Excluding fungal elements in PAS‐stained skin sections is labor‐intensive and well suited for AI assistance. While fungal detection in nails has been studied, skin‐biopsy applications and real‐world benefit remain limited.
