Two-step skeletization of binary images based on the Zhang-Suen model and the producing mask by J., Ma, V. Yu. Tsviatkou, V. K. Kanapelka

“…The aim of the work is to limit excessive thinning and increase the resistance to contour noise of skeletons resulted from arbitrary binary image shape while maintaining a high skeletonization rate. The skeleton is a set of thin lines, the relative position, the size and shape, which conveys information of size, shape and orientation in space of the corresponding homogeneous region of the image. …”

Revisiting biomarker discovery by plasma proteomics by Philipp E Geyer, Lesca M Holdt, Daniel Teupser, Matthias Mann

“…However, existing biomarkers are far from comprehensive and often lack specificity and new ones are being developed at a very slow rate. As described in this review, mass spectrometry (MS)‐based proteomics has become a powerful technology in biological research and it is now poised to allow the characterization of the plasma proteome in great depth. …”

Dietary inflammatory index and mortality in middle-aged and elderly patients with metabolic syndrome by Xiangmei Li, Lei Liu, Xing Li, Long Yang, Li Men

“…KM survival curves showed that higher DII quartiles were associated with lower survival rates (Log-rank P < 0.05). Cox regression results indicated that each unit increase in DII was associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality (HR = 1.052, 95% CI: 1.006-1.100, P = 0.026) and cardiovascular mortality (HR = 1.157, 95% CI: 1.076–1.244, P < 0.001). …”
