Contact Urticaria and Related Conditions: Clinical Review
Contact Dermatitis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Contact urticaria (CoU) is an immediate contact reaction occurring within minutes to an hour after exposure to specific proteins or chemicals. CoU is categorised into non‐immunologic (NI‐CoU) and immunologic (I‐CoU) types, with I‐CoU potentially leading to anaphylaxis. Both forms of CoU can be associated with protein contact dermatitis and the

Efficient Feature Extraction Using Light-Weight CNN Attention-Based Deep Learning Architectures for Ultrasound Fetal Plane Classification [PDF]
arXivUltrasound fetal imaging is beneficial to support prenatal development because it is affordable and non-intrusive. Nevertheless, fetal plane classification (FPC) remains challenging and time-consuming for obstetricians since it depends on nuanced clinical aspects, which increases the difficulty in identifying relevant features of the fetal anatomy ...

Leg Coordination during Walking in Insects [PDF]
, 2013 Locomotion depends on constant adaptation to different requirements of the environment. An appropriate temporal and spatial coordination of multiple body parts is necessary to achieve a stable and adapted behavior.

Tracking individual Bactrocera tryoni: Wind effects and natural movement
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Modeling insect movement relies on accurate characterizations of natural step distances, turning angles, and speed. Harmonic radar was used to observe male Queensland fruit fly (Qfly), Bactrocera tryoni (Diptera: Tephritidae), movements (natural and disturbance‐induced) in papaya (Carica papaya, Caricaceae).

Directional Sensitivity and Mechanical Coupling Dynamics of Campaniform Sensilla During Chordwise Deformations of the Fly Wing [PDF]
, 1992 The complex morphology of an insect campaniform sensillum is responsible for transforming strains of the integument into a displacement of the campaniform dome and subsequently a deformation of the dendritic membrane.

Multiple mating is not driven by size and sperm management in black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens)
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We investigated mating in black soldier fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens (Diptera: Stratiomyidae), an important source of animal feed. The number of spermatozoa stored in the spermathecae of females does not change after one, two and three matings of the male. BSF males and females mate multiple times under controlled conditions. The number of sperm in the

Insect-Foundation: A Foundation Model and Large Multimodal Dataset for Vision-Language Insect Understanding [PDF]
arXivMultimodal conversational generative AI has shown impressive capabilities in various vision and language understanding through learning massive text-image data. However, current conversational models still lack knowledge about visual insects since they are often trained on the general knowledge of vision-language data.

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.We investigated the compatibility of beekeeping with pollinator conservation in ‘prairie strips’ a conservation practice integrating native prairie habitat into agricultural environments. At prairie strip sites with and without a honey bee apiary, we analysed plant–bee interactions and bumble bee body conditions to determine the effect of apiaries on ...
