DDD++: Exploiting Density map consistency for Deep Depth estimation in indoor environments by Giovanni Pintore, Marco Agus, Alberto Signoroni, Enrico Gobbetti

“…We introduce a novel deep neural network designed for fast and structurally consistent monocular 360° depth estimation in indoor settings. Our model generates a spherical depth map from a single gravity-aligned or gravity-rectified equirectangular image, ensuring the predicted depth aligns with the typical depth distribution and structural features of cluttered indoor spaces, which are generally enclosed by walls, floors, and ceilings. …”

VALUE OF BONE REMODELLING MARKERS IN MANDIBULAR FRACTURE PATIENTS BY GENDER AND BONE MINERAL DENSITY by D.I. Matsyuk, N.B. Kuzniak

“…The high incidence of such fractures is due to the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the mandible, as well as a variety of local and general causes. Disturbances in the structural-functional properties of bone tissue can occur as a result of internal and external influences and provide a favorable background for the development of fractures in various locations, including the mandible. …”

Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS): women’s health issue by L. Roncati, M. Vadalà, C. Laurino, B. Palmieri

“…Epidemiological observations suggest that MCS has a 2-3% prevalence in the general population and that women are more significantly at risk to develop the disturbance; about 80% of affected patients are in fact women between the ages of 30 and 50. …”

LIMITED JOINT MOBILITY SYNDROME IN DIABETES MELLITUS by T. S. Panevin, L. I. Alekseeva, G. A. Melnichenko

“…LJM is one of the little studied and poorly diagnosed conditions in comparison with traditional micro- and macro-vascular complications of DM, which, due to their direct correlation with life expectancy, receive more attention. The LJM syndrome is associated with other late complications of DM and can significantly impair functional activity, self-care, and quality of life. …”

Tetraspanin Cd9b and Cxcl12a/Cxcr4b have a synergistic effect on the control of collective cell migration. by Katherine S Marsay, Sarah Greaves, Harsha Mahabaleshwar, Charmaine Min Ho, Henry Roehl, Peter N Monk, Tom J Carney, Lynda J Partridge

“…We corroborate that knockdown of the zebrafish cd9 tetraspanin orthologue, cd9b, results in mild pLL abnormalities. Through generation of CRISPR and TALEN mutants, we show that cd9a and cd9b function partially redundantly in pLLP migration, which is delayed in the cd9b single and cd9a; cd9b double mutants. …”
