IN VIVO IMAGING OF COBALT-INDUCED OCULAR TOXICITY IN A MOUSE MODEL

In Vivo Imaging of Cobalt-Induced Ocular Toxicity in a Mouse Model

Cobalt is a trace element, crucial for red blood cell formation and neurological function.Cobalt toxicity is often only diagnosed here after severe manifestations, including visual impairment.We aimed to investigate whether optical coherence tomography (OCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can effectively detect cobalt-induced ocular toxicity

Characterisation of osteogenic and vascular responses of hMSCs to Ti-Co doped phosphate glass microspheres using a microfluidic perfusion platform

Using microspherical scaffolds as building blocks to repair bone defects of specific size and shape has been proposed as a tissue engineering strategy.Here, phosphate glass (PG) microcarriers doped with 5 mol % TiO 2 and either 0 mol % CoO (CoO 0%) or 2 mol % CoO (CoO 2%) were investigated for their ability to support osteogenic and vascular respon

Improved Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm and Its Application to Fundus Retinal Blood Vessel Image Binarization

The content of this work is based on the characteristics of standard artificial grand love red heart reposado tequila bee colony(ABC) algorithm with weak local search ability and slow convergence speed.Then, an improved algorithm named KD-ABC is proposed.For improving the diversity and quality of the solution, it changes the generation method of ho

Identifying a spatial scale for the analysis of residential burglary: An empirical framework based on point pattern analysis

A key issue in the spatial and temporal analysis of residential burglary is the choice of scale: spatial patterns might differ appreciably for different time periods and vary across geographic units of analysis.Based on point pattern analysis of burglary incidents in Columbus, Ohio during a 9-year period, this study develops an empirical framework
