Short-duration insemination with frozen semen increases fertility rate in nulliparous dairy goats
Standard artificial insemination (AI) using a speculum in dairy goats does not result in acceptable fertility rates in nulliparous does. An explanation might be the difficulties to pass the cervical canal in nulliparous females with the insemination gun,

Agent with Tangent-based Formulation and Anatomical Perception for Standard Plane Localization in 3D Ultrasound [PDF]
Standard plane (SP) localization is essential in routine clinical ultrasound (US) diagnosis. Compared to 2D US, 3D US can acquire multiple view planes in one scan and provide complete anatomy with the addition of coronal plane. However, manually navigating SPs in 3D US is laborious and biased due to the orientation variability and huge search space. In

A 3D Genome Atlas of Genetic Variants and Their Pathological Effects in Cancer
The hierarchical organization of the eukaryotic genome is vital for nuclear function, and disruptions from genetic mutations can alter this 3D architecture. Cataloging thousands of interchromosomal translocations, structural variants, and single nucleotide polymorphisms, their impact on 3D genome organization is revealed. The scoring algorithm, 3DFunc,

Estimation of Tissue Oxygen Saturation from RGB Images based on Pixel-level Image Translation [PDF]
Intra-operative measurement of tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) has been widely explored by pulse oximetry or hyperspectral imaging (HSI) to assess the function and viability of tissue. In this paper we propose a pixel- level image-to-image translation approach based on conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (cGAN) to estimate tissue oxygen ...

Virtual Reality Simulator for Fetoscopic Spina Bifida Repair Surgery [PDF]
Spina Bifida (SB) is a birth defect developed during the early stage of pregnancy in which there is incomplete closing of the spine around the spinal cord. The growing interest in fetoscopic Spina-Bifida repair, which is performed in fetuses who are still in the pregnant uterus, prompts the need for appropriate training.

Primary replication and invasion of the bovine gammaherpesvirus BoHV-4 in the genital mucosae [PDF]
Bovine herpesvirus 4 (BoHV-4) is a gammaherpesvirus that is widespread in cattle. Ex vivo models with bovine genital tract mucosa explants were set up to study molecular/cellular BoHV-4-host interactions.

Simultaneous Detection of Neural Activity and Temperature in Photothermal Neural Stimulation
Photothermal neuromodulation technology faces limitations in understanding its mechanisms and effects on cellular behavior due to the difficulty of directly measuring temperature changes at the cell interface during optical stimulation of neurons. To overcome this challenge, ultrasensitive, transparent temperature sensors integrated with low‐noise ...
