Towards Automatic Skeleton Extraction With Skeleton Grafting
IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, 2021 This article introduces a novel approach to generate visually promising skeletons automatically without any manual tuning. In practice, it is challenging to extract promising skeletons directly using existing approaches. This is because they either cannot fully preserve shape features, or require manual intervention, such as boundary smoothing and ...

, 2023 There are striking similarities between Sinai trafficking and human trafficking for ransom in Libya. This chapter presents evidence to compare the practices, including the experiences of detainees in the holding camps, the torture methods used to extract ransoms, and the use of mobile phones to broadcast the torture to relatives and facilitate payments.

The thyroid and the skeleton [PDF]
Clinical Endocrinology, 2004 The relationship between the thyroid and the skeleton was first suggested in 1891 when Von Recklinghausen (1891) reported a patient with hyperthyroidism and multiple fractures. Thyroid disease is common; more than 1% of British women receive thyroxine treatment, increasing to over 3% in those over 50 years of age, and the concern is that patients with ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Pediatric sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors that contribute disproportionately to cancer mortality in children. Although congenital anomalies are among the strongest known risk factors for childhood cancer, the risk of specific sarcoma subtypes among affected individuals has not yet been thoroughly evaluated. Procedure We

Multiparametric influence of 3D-printed organo-mineral scaffolds on bone regeneration
Scientific ReportsThe development of synthetic bone substitutes that equal or exceed the efficacy of autologous graft remains challenging. In this study, a rat calvarial defect model was used as a reference to investigate the influence of composition and architecture of ...

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...
