Patch-based feature mapping with generative adversarial networks for auxiliary hip fracture detection.

Background: Hip fractures are a significant public health issue, particularly among the elderly population. Pelvic radiographs (PXRs) play a crucial role in diagnosing hip fractures and are commonly used for their evaluation. Previous research has demonstrated promising performance in classification models for hip fracture detection.

The serum protein renalase reduces injury in experimental pancreatitis.

Acute pancreatitis is a disease associated with inflammation and tissue damage. One protein that protects against acute injury, including ischemic injury to both the kidney and heart, is renalase, which is secreted into the blood by the kidney and other tissues. However, whether renalase reduces acute injury associated with pancreatitis is unknown.

Rapid visualization of hydrogen positions in protein neutron crystallographic structures.

Neutron crystallography is a powerful technique for experimental visualization of the positions of light atoms, including hydrogen and its isotope deuterium. In recent years, structural biologists have shown increasing interest in the technique as it uniquely complements X-ray crystallographic data by revealing the positions of D atoms in macromolecules. With this regained interest, access to macromolecular neutron crystallography beamlines is becoming a limiting step.
