Machine learning for lung texture analysis on thin-section CT: Capability for assessments of disease severity and therapeutic effect for connective tissue disease patients in comparison with expert panel evaluations
CONCLUSION: ML-based CT texture analysis has better potential than qualitatively assessed thin-section CT for disease severity assessment and treatment response evaluation for CTD-ILD.PMID:34636644 | DOI:10.1177/02841851211044973 (Source: Acta Radiologica)

Roux-en-Y versus Billroth-I reconstruction after distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer
CONCLUSIONS: The evidence suggests that there is little to no difference between Roux-en-Y and Billroth-I reconstruction for the outcome health-related quality of life. The evidence for the effect of Roux-en-Y versus Billroth-I reconstruction on the incidence of anastomotic leakage is very uncertain as the incidence of this outcome was low. Although the certainty of evidence was low, we found some possibly clinically meaningful differences between Roux-en-Y and Billroth-I reconstruction for short-term outcomes. Roux-en-Y reconstruction probably reduces the incidence of bile reflux into the remnant stomach compared to Billr...

Differences of Extracellular Cues and Ca < sup > 2+ < /sup > Permeable Channels in the Signaling Pathways for Inducing Amphibian Sperm Motility
Zoolog Sci. 2021 Aug;38(4):343-351. doi: 10.2108/zs200159.ABSTRACTLow osmolality of freshwater and/or sperm motility-initiating substance (SMIS) induce amphibian sperm motility through increases in intracellular Ca2+. In the internally fertilizing newt Cynops pyrrhogaster, the sperm motility-initiating substance engages T type voltage-dependent Ca2 + channels and N-methyl D-aspartate-type glutamate receptors to initiate sperm motility and L type voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels to enhance motility. In the present study, differences in the usages of SMIS and Ca2+ permeable channels for sperm motility regulation were examined...
