Persistence Based on LBP Scale Space

, 2016
This paper discusses the connection between the texture operator LBP (local binary pattern) and an application of LBPs to persistent homology. A shape representation - the LBP scale space - is defined as a filtration based on the varia- tion of an LBP

Water Released From Vessel Embolism May Temporarily Halt Further Embolism in Tropical Dipterocarp Trees

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The formation of air bubbles in the xylem, known as embolism, reduces hydraulic conductivity and can ultimately lead to catastrophic failure of a tree's water transport system. When a vessel embolises, it releases water into the surrounding xylem tissue.

Periodontitis and metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease with systemic effects that extend beyond the oral cavity and contribute to systemic immune and metabolic dysregulation. Chronic liver diseases, particularly metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its progressive phenotypes, have emerged as major global ...

Granulocyte colony stimulating factor induces lipopolysaccharide (LPS) sensitization via upregulation of LPS binding protein in rat.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Liver is the main organ for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) clearance. Sensitization to LPS is associated with the upregulation of LPS-binding protein (LBP) in animal models.

Intestinal epithelial injury and inflammation after physical work in temperate and hot environments in older men with hypertension or type 2 diabetes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract We tested whether older adults with well‐controlled type 2 diabetes or hypertension, compared with age‐matched adults without chronic disease, exhibit greater intestinal damage, microbial translocation and inflammation during exertional heat stress.

LBP Scale Space Origins for Shape Classification

, 2017
The LBP scale space serves as a shape representation, which thus allows not only for shape classification but also for an (approximate) recon- struction of the original shape.

Analysis of HEp-2 images using MD-LBP and MAD-bagging

, 2014
Indirect immunofluorescence imaging is employed to identify antinuclear antibodies in HEp-2 cells which founds the basis for diagnosing autoimmune diseases and other important pathological conditions involving the immune system.

Prebiotic Bimuno® GOS reduces illness symptoms and supports gut barrier function and immunity after intermittent exercise in the heat

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exercise in hot climates increases the risk of gastrointestinal (GI) disruption and respiratory illness. We investigated the effects of a 42 day prebiotic intervention on markers of intestinal epithelial injury, GI discomfort and immunity following football specific exercise in the heat and daily upper respiratory illness.

Gastrointestinal microbiota and barrier integrity in individuals who develop exertional heat illness and pair‐matched controls: A prospective observational cohort study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract It has been hypothesised that the composition of the gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota contributes to exertional heat illness (EHI) aetiology, but relevant empirical data in humans are lacking. Utilising a unique prospective study design, stool samples and resting blood samples were obtained from 550 individuals prior to (within 3 days ...
