Abstract Background Cystic Fibrosis Related Diabetes (CFRD) is a frequent comorbidity of patients with Cystic Fibrosis (CF).A worsening of clinical conditions appears before CFRD.It has been demonstrated a decline in pulmonary function and nutritional status also in patients with prediabetes.Few trials show that insulin may be beneficial in prediab
In this paper, a mask region-based convolutional neural network (Mask R-CNN) is used to improve the performance of machine vision in the challenging task of detecting peduncles and fruits of green sweet peppers (Capsicum annuum L.) in greenhouses.One of the most complicated stages of the sweet pepper harvesting process is to achieve a precise cut o
BackgroundHuman pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) show tremendous promise for cardiac regeneration following myocardial infarction (MI), but their transplantation gives rise to transient ventricular tachycardia (VT) in large-animal MI models, representing a major hurdle to translation.Our group previously reported that these a
Increasing data resources are available for documenting and detecting changes in environmental, ecological, and socioeconomic processes.Currently, data are distributed across a wide variety of sources (e.g.data silos) and published in a variety of formats, scales, and semantic representations.A key issue, therefore, in building systems that can rea
