Utilizing deep learning techniques to improve image quality and noise reduction in preclinical low-dose PET images in the sinogram domain.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Low-dose positron emission tomography (LD-PET) imaging is commonly employed in preclinical research to minimize radiation exposure to animal subjects. However, LD-PET images often exhibit poor quality and high noise levels due to the low ...

Deep learning catheter tip locations for photoacoustic-guided cardiac interventions.

Journal of biomedical optics
SIGNIFICANCE: Interventional cardiac procedures often require ionizing radiation to guide cardiac catheters to the heart. To reduce the associated risks of ionizing radiation, photoacoustic imaging can potentially be combined with robotic visual serv...

The use of a porcine model to teach advanced abdominal wall dissection techniques.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: In the era of minimally invasive surgery, it is clear that a robust simulation model is required for the training of surgeons in advanced abdominal wall reconstruction. The purpose of this experimentation was to evaluate whether a porcine...

A novel method for identifying key genes in macroevolution based on deep learning with attention mechanism.

Scientific reports
Macroevolution can be regarded as the result of evolutionary changes of synergistically acting genes. Unfortunately, the importance of these genes in macroevolution is difficult to assess and hence the identification of macroevolutionary key genes is...

A systematic review of the development and application of home cage monitoring in laboratory mice and rats.

BMC biology
BACKGROUND: Traditionally, in biomedical animal research, laboratory rodents are individually examined in test apparatuses outside of their home cages at selected time points. However, the outcome of such tests can be influenced by various factors an...

Multimodal steerable earthworm-inspired soft robot based on vacuum and positive pressure powered pneumatic actuators.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This article presents a multimodal steerable earthworm-inspired soft robot based on vacuum and positive pressure powered pneumatic actuators capable of crawling both inside pipelines and on planar surfaces. The optimized modular vacuum pressure-drive...

Skeletal muscle cells opto-stimulation by intramembrane molecular transducers.

Communications biology
Optical stimulation and control of muscle cell contraction opens up a number of interesting applications in hybrid robotic and medicine. Here we show that recently designed molecular phototransducer can be used to stimulate C2C12 skeletal muscle cell...

The Progressive Veterinary Practice.

The Veterinary clinics of North America. Small animal practice
Veterinary practices must be forward-thinking to effectively serve today's pet owners and move into the future. The progressive practice considers every aspect of a pet owner's journey, from searching for a veterinarian to paying their invoice, and s...

Vascular persistence following precision micropuncture.

Microcirculation (New York, N.Y. : 1994)
OBJECTIVE: The success of engineered tissues continues to be limited by time to vascularization and perfusion. Recently, we described a simple microsurgical approach, termed micropuncture (MP), which could be used to rapidly vascularize an adjacently...

Deep learning-based image analysis identifies a DAT-negative subpopulation of dopaminergic neurons in the lateral Substantia nigra.

Communications biology
Here we present a deep learning-based image analysis platform (DLAP), tailored to autonomously quantify cell numbers, and fluorescence signals within cellular compartments, derived from RNAscope or immunohistochemistry. We utilised DLAP to analyse su...
