IntroductionThe purpose of this study is to apply deep learning to segment and visualize the skeletal muscle in the middle of third lumbar vertebra on computed tomography images. MethodsBetween July 1 and December 31, 2021, patients aged 20 to 60 who had computed tomography at Songklanagarind Hospital computed tomography center will have their images of the abdomen axial slice at the middle of the third lumbar vertebra gathered. We use 215 images, including computed tomography (original images) and binary images, for data preparation using region growing and manual segmentation in MATLAB by over ten years experienced radiation technologist. Additionally, the dataset is separated into three distinct categories: train, validation, and verification. The deep learning model was developed using python and a 2D dilated residual attention U-Net architecture. And Thresholding-based solutions were desired to prevent over detection of the model's exterior muscle area. ResultOn the validation set, the model's accuracy, Binary Cross-Entropy loss, and similarity Intersection over union (IoU)were 0.9926, 0.0387, and 0.8869, respectively, for the model performance of automated segmentation in the middle of the third lumbar vertebra using computed tomography images. In addition, the rate of validation errors decreases from 0.99 percent to 0.49 percent. ConclusionFinally, when employing deep learning for automated segmentation and visualization of skeletal muscle in the middle of the third lumbar vertebra on computed tomography images was highly effective.

This study investigates the potential of hydrothermal pretreatment to enhance the energy recovery and waste management of Napier grass ( Pennisetum purpureum ) as a co-substrate in pig farming operations. Pig farms in Thailand generate wastewater rich in organic matter and nutrients, and efficient treatment is essential for meeting environmental discharge standards and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Two pretreatment strategies were evaluated: a low-temperature hydrothermal fermentative pretreatment (HFP) and a high-temperature thermal hydrolysis pretreatment (THP). Napier grass, characterized by its high lignocellulosic content and rapid growth, was processed at various temperatures (35–100 °C for HFP; 125–200 °C for THP) and reaction times (6–72 h) to produce distinct liquid and solid fractions. Biochemical methane potential (BMP) assays demonstrated that HFP at 35 °C for 12 h yielded the highest overall methane production (184.5 m 3 CH 4 per ton of dry biomass), reflecting a 65 % increase in biodegradability relative to untreated grass. Regression analysis further elucidated the interactive effects of temperature and reaction time on methane yields, while mass balance evaluations compared alternative pathways for the valorization of the HFP solids. Notably, converting the solids into biomass pellets delivered a superior net energy output compared to further anaerobic digestion. Overall, the integrated approach of using hydrothermal pretreatment, especially via HFP, not only improves biogas yields but also aligns with sustainable agricultural practices by reducing waste, mitigating environmental impacts, and enhancing the energy efficiency of pig farming systems.

Background: Bone destructions in the oral cavity are due to trauma, chronic infection, congenital malformations, or resection surgery, most often by using an autologous bone graft technique. The problem using this technique are limited donors and suppliers, high cost, host potential imune response becauce accepts foreign bone tissue also potential transmission diseases. Another solution in tissue engineering techniques is using the scaffold. Hidroxyapatite is one of the osteoconductive potentialy ceramic materials in scaffold fabrication. Objective: To prove that bovine teeth hydroxyapatite have characteristic as scaffold for bone tissue regeneration. Methods: HA was obtained by calcining bovine teeth at 1000°C for 3 hours, Fourier Transform Infra Red Spectroscopy (FTIR) test , Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) test and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) test. Results: Bovine teeth hydroxyapatite to showed of hydroxyl, phosphate and carbonate functional groups (FTIR test). Average Ca/P=1.97. Conclusion: Hydroxyapatite from bovine teeth has potency as scaffold through the chemistry and physical characteristics.
