AI‐Driven Defecation Analysis by Smart Healthcare Toilet: Exploring Biometric Patterns and Eu‐Tenesmus

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A healthcare toilet system is introduced to passively measure defecation behavior. Real‐time data on stool dropping duration, thickness, and a newly defined “eu‐tenesmus” interval show correlations with stool form and gender differences. Results from 45 defecation events reveal a promising method for comprehensive defecation analysis.

Adipose Tissue Macrophages as Initiators of Exacerbated Periodontitis in Estrogen‐Deficient Environments via the Amplifier Extracellular Vesicles

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Chronic systemic inflammation, worsened by estrogen deficiency, underlies and exacerbates periodontitis. Proinflammatory macrophages within visceral adipose tissue are hyperactivated due to hyper‐DNA methylation, releasing small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) similar to those of their parent cells.
