Examination of alternative eGFR definitions on the performance of deep learning models for detection of chronic kidney disease from fundus photographs.

Deep learning (DL) models have shown promise in detecting chronic kidney disease (CKD) from fundus photographs.However, previous studies have utilized a serum creatinine-only estimated glomerular rate (eGFR) Carbide Insert equation to measure kidney function despite the development of more up-to-date methods.In this study, we developed two sets of

Assessing the Use of Artificial Hibernacula by the Great Crested Newt (Triturus cristatus) and Smooth Newt (Lissotriton vulgaris) in Cold Climate in Southeast Norway

Construction of artificial overwintering habitats, hibernacula, or newt hotels, is an important mitigation measure for newt populations in urban and agricultural areas.We have monitored the use of four artificial hotels built in September 2011 close to a 6000 m2 breeding pond in Norway.The four hotels ranged from 1.6 to 12.4 m3 and were located fro
