Leveraging deep learning for nonlinear shape representation in anatomically parameterized statistical shape models

Author(s): Gheflati B; Mirzaei M; Rottoo S; Rivaz H;

Purpose: Statistical shape models (SSMs) are widely used for morphological assessment of anatomical structures. However, a key limitation is the need for a clear relationship between the model's shape coefficients and clinically relevant anatomical parameters. To address this limitation, this paper proposes a novel deep learning-based anatomically par ...

Sleep neuroimaging: Review and future directions

Author(s): Pereira M; Chen X; Paltarzhytskaya A; Pache?o Y; Muller N; Bovy L; Lei X; Chen W; Ren H; Song C; Lewis LD; Dang-Vu TT; Czisch M; Picchioni D; Duyn J; Peigneux P; Tagliazucchi E; Dresler M;

Sleep research has evolved considerably since the first sleep electroencephalography recordings in the 1930s and the discovery of well-distinguishable sleep stages in the 1950s. While electrophysiological recordings have been used to describe the sleeping brain in much detail, since the 1990s neu ...

Dispositional mindfulness profiles and psychological symptoms: a latent profile analysis

Author(s): Mehrabi F; Beshai S;

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to (1) examine profiles of mindfulness using the short form of the FFMQ (FFMQ-SF), (2) identify the demographic predictor (i.e., sex) of mindfulness profile membership, and (3) examine associations of mindfulness profiles with psychological outcomes (i.e., anxiety and depressive symptoms). Methods: This cross-sectional ...

Minority Affirmations and the Boundaries of the Nation: Evidence From Québec

Author(s): Scott C; Bilodeau A; Gagnon A; Turgeon L;

Cultural criteria, like language skills and values, are salient features of nationalism discourse, reflecting imagined boundaries that separate ingroup from outgroup member when thinking about the nation. Despite their salience, the relationship between cultural membership criteria and other civic (attainable) or ethnic (ascriptive) national boundaries, a ...

A database of magnetic resonance imaging-transcranial ultrasound co-registration

Author(s): Alizadeh M; Collins DL; Kersten-Oertel M; Xiao Y;

Purpose: As a portable and cost-effective imaging modality with better accessibility than Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), transcranial sonography (TCS) has demonstrated its flexibility and potential utility in various clinical diagnostic applications, including Parkinson's disease and cerebrovascular conditions. To better understand the information ...

Variations in caregiving patterns of spouses/partners and adult children of long-term care home residents in Ontario, Canada

Author(s): Ménard A; Podinic I; Conklin J; Hossain S; Arya A; Archibald D; Elliott J; Kothari A; Stolee P; Sveistrup H; Dehcheshmeh MM; Hsu AT;

Family involvement in care often continues after an individual moves into a long-term care (LTC) home. This cross-sectional study delves into the dynamics of family caregiving for LTC residents. Spouses/partners (n = 32, mean age 76) primarily focused on tasks such as mealtimes (53 %) and direct ...

Imaging flow cytometry-based cellular screening elucidates pathophysiology in individuals with Variants of Uncertain Significance

Author(s): Muffels IJJ; Waterham HR; D' Alessandro G; Zagnoli-Vieira G; Sacher M; Lefeber DJ; Van der Vinne C; Roifman CM; Gassen KLI; Rehmann H; Van Haaften-Visser DY; Nieuwenhuis ESS; Jackson SP; Fuchs SA; Wijk F; van Hasselt P;

Background: Deciphering variants of uncertain significance (VUS) represents a major diagnostic challenge, partially due to the lack of easy-to-use and versatile cellular readouts that aid the interpretation of pathogenicity and pathophysiology. To address this challenge, we propose a high-through ...

International interlaboratory study to normalize liquid chromatography-based mycotoxin retention times through implementation of a retention index system

Author(s): Kelman MJ; Renaud JB; McCarron P; Hoogstra S; Chow W; Wang J; Varga E; Patriarca A; Vaya AM; Visintin L; Nguyen T; De Boevre M; De Saeger S; Karanghat V; Vuckovic D; McMullin DR; Dall' Asta C; Ayeni K; Warth B; Huang M; Tittlemier S ...

Monitoring for mycotoxins in food or feed matrices is necessary to ensure the safety and security of global food systems. Due to a lack of standardized methods and individual laboratory priorities, most institutions have developed their own methods for mycotoxin determinations. Given the diversit ...

Prioritizing Chemical Features in Non-targeted Analysis through Spatial Trend Analysis: Application to the Identification of Organic Chemicals Subject to Mountain Cold-Trapping

Author(s): Zhang X; Zhan F; Hao C; Lei YD; Wania F;

One of the challenges arising during non-targeted analysis (NTA) is that the number of detected chemical features is generally too large for detailed processing and interpretation. Here, we illustrate how the analysis of spatial trends in peak intensities can be an effective tool to prioritize chemical features in NTA. Specifically, features detected by g ...

Adverse Childhood Experiences Influence Longitudinal Changes in Leptin But Not Adiponectin

Author(s): Matovic S; Rummel C; Neumann E; McGrath J; Gouin JP;

Objective: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with a greater risk of obesity and cardiometabolic disease. Adipokines, including leptin and adiponectin, play vital roles in biological processes linked to obesity and cardiometabolic risk. The adiponectin/leptin ratio may represent a marker of impaired hormonal regulation of adipose tissue. ...
