Global road extraction using a pseudo-label guided framework: from benchmark dataset to cross-region semi-supervised learning by Xiaoyan Lu, Yanfei Zhong, Zhuo Zheng, JunJue Wang, Dingyuan Chen, Yu Su

“…Recent advancements in satellite remote sensing technology and computer vision have enabled rapid extraction of road networks from massive, Very High-Resolution (VHR) satellite imagery. However, current road extraction methods face the following limitations: 1) Insufficient availability of accurate and diverse training datasets for global-scale road extraction; 2) Costly and time-consuming manual labeling of millions of road samples; and 3) Limited generalization ability of deep learning models across diverse global contexts, resulting in better performance for regions well-represented in the training dataset, but worse performance when faced with domain gaps. …”

Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1): Consideration of Molecular Evolution, Interaction with APOL3, and Impact of Splice Isoforms Advances Understanding of Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms o... by Razi Khalaila, Karl Skorecki

“…In the absence of a consistent mechanistic explanation for differential kidney injury, we propose pursuing three interrelated avenues of investigation informed by prior epidemiological and mechanistic evidence linking them to APOL1’s cytotoxicity: (1) Molecular evolution of APOL1 haplotypes in human populations, (2) APOL1 splicing and consequent splice isoforms, (3) Interaction of APOL1 with other APOL gene family members, prioritizing APOL3. In the current study, we use reanalysis of population genetics datasets to resolve the haplotype contexts of all protein-altering APOL1 variants, uncovering previously unrecognized variant–haplotype couplings. …”

Improving follow-up imaging practices for patients with community-acquired pneumonia by Meirian Evans, Aazaz Rehman, Joseph Marchant, Matthew Pavitt, Rachel Buxton-Thomas

“…Introduction: The incidence of lung cancer in patients presenting to hospital with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is variably reported as 1–9.2%.1–3 The radiographic features of pneumonia and lung cancer can be similar. Therefore, in the context of lower respiratory tract symptoms, a malignancy visible on a chest X-ray may be missed.The British Thoracic Society (BTS) guidelines for the management of CAP in adults (2009) recommend that high-risk patients (aged >50 and current or ex-smokers) with consolidation on a chest X-ray should be followed up with a repeat chest X-ray 6 weeks after their initial presentation to ensure resolution of changes and to exclude an underlying malignancy.3Initial audit data in our local respiratory department showed that 41% of patients were incorrectly not followed up with repeat imaging. …”

The Link between Ankylosing Spondylitis, Crohn’s Disease, Klebsiella, and Starch Consumption by Taha Rashid, Clyde Wilson, Alan Ebringer

“…Exposure to increased levels of these microbes will lead to the production of elevated levels of anti-Klebsiella antibodies as well as autoantibodies against cross-reactive self-antigens with resultant pathological lesions in the bowel and joints. Hence, a decrease of starch-containing products in the daily dietary intake could have a beneficial therapeutic effect on the disease especially when used in conjunction with the currently available medical therapies in the treatment of patients with AS and CD.…”

SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION OF TUBERCULOSIS by Andrei DOBRE

“…Despite the medical knowledge about the disease, analizing it from a sociological and anthropological point of view could generate a better understating of the disease, it’s social factors and the complexity of the context. Being the leading cause of death among the socio-professionally active population, with approximately 2 million deaths annually, prior to the establishment of certain control and surveillance measures, it is necessary to we understand the social factors and the costs of the disease, elements that increase the risk of infection / death, and what are the needs and services to be addressed. …”
