Cloning and characterisation of a maize carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase (ZmCCD1) and its involvement in the biosynthesis of apocarotenoids with various roles in mutualistic and parasitic interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Colonisation of maize roots by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi leads to the accumulation of apocarotenoids (cyclohexenone and mycorradicin derivatives).

Diagnostic Efficacy of C-Reactive Protein in Differentiating Various Causes of Exudative Pleural Effusion: Disease Research Should Not Be Exclusive to the Wealthy

open access: yesAdvances in Respiratory Medicine
Background and Objectives: Discrimination between various causes of exudative pleural effusion (PE) remains a major clinical challenge, and to date, definitive biochemical markers for this discrimination remain lacking.

Automatic Exudate Detection from Non-dilated Diabetic Retinopathy Retinal Images Using Fuzzy C-means Clustering

open access: yesSensors, 2009
Exudates are the primary sign of Diabetic Retinopathy. Early detection can potentially reduce the risk of blindness. An automatic method to detect exudates from low-contrast digital images of retinopathy patients with non-dilated pupils using a Fuzzy C ...

Detection of Hard Exudates in Retinal Fundus Images using Deep Learning

open access: yes, 2018
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a retinal disorder that affects the people having diabetes mellitus for a long time (20 years). DR is one of the main reasons for the preventable blindness all over the world. If not detected early the patient may progress to

A review of the influence of root-associating fungi and root exudates on the success of invasive plants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Plant-fungal interactions are essential for understanding the distribution and abundance of plants species. Recently, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) partners of non-indigenous invasive plants have been hypothesized to be a critical factor ...

Remote examination of exudates-impact of macular oedema

open access: yesHealthcare Technology Letters, 2018
One of the major causes of eye blindness is identified to be as diabetic retinopathy, which if not detected in earlier stage would cause a serious issue. Long-term diabetes causes diabetic retinopathy.

Geobacter, Anaeromyxobacter and Anaerolineae populations are enriched on anodes of root exudate-driven microbial fuel cells in rice field soil [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Plant-based sediment microbial fuel cells (PMFCs) couple the oxidation of root exudates in living rice plants to current production. We analysed the composition of the microbial community on anodes from PMFC with natural rice field soil as substratum for

Fungal Guttation, a Source of Bioactive Compounds, and Its Ecological Role—A Review

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2021
Guttation is a common phenomenon in the fungal kingdom. Its occurrence and intensity depend largely on culture conditions, such as growth medium composition or incubation temperature.

Exudates Detection Using Morphology Mean Shift Algorithm in Retinal Images

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
Exudates are a serious complication causing blindness in diabetic retinopathy patients. The main objective of this paper is to develop a novel method to detect exudates lesions in color retinal images by using a morphology mean shift algorithm.

Changes in Immune‐Inflammation Status and Acute Ischemic Stroke Prognosis in Prospective Cohort

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Inflammation is a critical risk factor for poor outcomes in cerebral infarction. Prior studies focused primarily on baseline inflammation status, neglecting dynamic longitudinal changes. We try to investigate the association between immune‐inflammation status alterations and stroke prognosis, and evaluated three systemic biomarkers'
