GI tract cancer significantly impacts global health, necessitating precise treatment methods. Radiation oncologists use X-ray beams to target tumors while avoiding the stomach and intestines, making the accurate segmentation of these organs crucial. This research explores various combinations of encoders and decoders to segment the small bowel, large bowel, and stomach in MRI images, using the UW-Madison GI tract dataset consisting of 38,496 scans. Encoders tested include ResNet50, EfficientNetB1, MobileNetV2, ResNext50, and Timm_Gernet_S, paired with decoders UNet, FPN, PSPNet, PAN, and DeepLab V3+. The study identifies ResNet50 with DeepLab V3+ as the most effective combination, assessed using the Dice coefficient, Jaccard index, and model loss. The proposed model, a combination of DeepLab V3+ and ResNet 50, obtained a Dice value of 0.9082, an IoU value of 0.8796, and a model loss of 0.117. The findings demonstrate the method's potential to improve radiation therapy for GI cancer, aiding radiation oncologists in accurately targeting tumors while avoiding healthy organs.

Using particle image velocimetry (PIV) technology, in the optimized design, the characteristics of aerosols were analyzed under both negative and non-negative pressure conditions. The results demonstrated that in the absence of negative pressure, droplets dispersed widely, with diffusion angles ranging from 26.9° to 34.2°, significantly increasing the risk of external leakage. When negative pressure was applied, the diffusion angles narrowed to 20.0-35.1° and inward airflow effectively directed droplets away from the chamber boundary, preventing external dispersion. Additionally, sensor data measuring particle concentrations confirmed that droplets smaller than 10 µm were fully contained under negative pressure, strongly supporting the chamber's effectiveness. The strong agreement between PIV flow patterns and sensor measurements underscores the reliability of the experimental methodology.

We also investigated its stability by separating the DNA ladders. Experiments demonstrated that the relative standard error of the relative fluorescence intensity and migration time was lower than 6.2% and 1.1%, respectively. The aperture size of the light source illuminating the capillary can affect the separation performance. Smaller apertures offer higher resolution length for the adjacent DNA fragments but may reduce the number of theoretical plates. Various fluorescent dyes (e.g., SYBR Green I, Gel Green, EvaGreen) can be employed in the self-built system. The limit of detection of dsDNA was as low as 0.05 ng/μL. The working range for DNA was 0.05 ng/μL~10 ng/μL. Finally, we have successfully separated the PCR products of the target gene of <i>Porphyromonas gingivalis</i> and <i>Candida albicans</i> in the home-built CE system. Such a robust CE-LIF system is easy to assemble in the lab. The total cost of the assembled CE system did not exceed 1100 USD.

Several surgical concepts, including the application of autologous blood concentrate platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), aim to reduce these changes. While PRF's wound-healing and pain-relieving effects are well-documented, its impact on bone regeneration is less clear due to varying PRF protocols and measurement methods for bone regeneration. This study aimed to develop a precise, easy-to-use non-invasive radiological evaluation method that examines the entire extraction socket to assess bone regeneration using CBCT data from clinical trials. The method, based on the freely available Image J-based software \"Fiji\", proved to be precise, reproducible, and transferable. As limitation remains the time requirement and its exclusive focus on radiological bone regeneration. Nevertheless, the method presented here is more precise than the ones currently described in the literature, as it evaluates the entire socket rather than partial areas.

Therefore, the posture of fourteen surgeons was monitored using wearable inertial sensors (and processed according to the ISO 11226 standard) by considering the effect of different surgical specialties (thyroid vs. breast) and roles (primary vs. assistants). Overall, surgeons spent most of their time in a standing posture, remaining within the acceptable limits of trunk flexion. More concerning results were observed analyzing the time spent in static head flexion and lateral bending (~72% and 48% of the time, respectively). Assistants, compared with primary surgeons, spent more than twice as much time in extreme neck flexion, although this was only when performing thyroid surgeries. The opposite was observed during breast surgeries. By spending most of their time in a standing posture with extreme forward neck flexion, surgeons are exposed to a high ergonomic risk, especially when frequently performing thyroid surgeries.
