Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability worldwide, with up to two-thirds individuals experiencing long-term disabilities. Large-scale neuroimaging studies have shown promise in identifying robust biomarkers (e.g., measures brain structure) stroke recovery following rehabilitation. However, analyzing large rehabilitation-related datasets problematic due barriers accurate lesion segmentation. Manually-traced lesions are currently gold standard for segmentation on T1-weighted MRIs, but...
• Background and Aims Free-hand sectioning of living plant tissues allows fast microscopic observation internal structures. The aim this study was to improve the quality preparations from roots with suberized cell walls. A whole-mount procedure that enables visualization exo- endodermal cells along root axis also established.
This paper presents a new deformable model using both population-based and patient-specific shape statistics to segment lung fields from serial chest radiographs. There are two novelties in the proposed model. First, modified scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) local descriptor, which is more distinctive than general intensity gradient features, used characterize image features vicinity of each pixel. Second, contour constrained by statistics, it yields robust accurate segmentation for...
Abstract Accurate stroke lesion segmentation is a critical step in the neuroimaging processing pipeline for assessing relationship between poststroke brain structure, function, and behavior. Many multimodal algorithms have been developed acute neuroimaging, yet few are effective with only single T1‐weighted (T1w) anatomical MRI. This gap because MRI not commonly available due to time cost constraints rehabilitation setting. Although several attempts automate of chronic lesions on...
Abstract Background In the DISCOVER study (NCT02842086), emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (F/TAF) showed a more favorable renal safety profile compared with disoproxil (F/TDF). However, existing evidence on of F/TAF versus F/TDF in real-world settings is limited and complicated by potential selection biases, including confounding indication. We evaluated changes function individuals before after switching from to using crossover design.Figure.eGFR Values One Year Prior After...
Abstract Background Extrahepatic manifestations of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection include development kidney disease (KD). While anti-HBV treatment reduces the risk liver-related events, impact HBV on KD remains unclear. Using a large US-based electronic medical record (EMR) database, we examined whether patients with are at higher developing KD, is associated HBV-related liver disease, and mitigates these risks. Methods Data were queried from IQVIA Ambulatory EMR database 2006 to...
Abstract Rostrolateral prefrontal cortex (RLPFC) is widely appreciated to support higher cognitive functions, including analogical reasoning and episodic memory retrieval. However, these tasks have typically been studied in isolation, thus it unclear whether they involve common or distinct RLPFC mechanisms. Here, we introduce a novel functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) task paradigm compare brain activity during while holding bottom‐up perceptual stimulation response demands...
Severe impairment of limb movement after stroke can be challenging to address in the chronic stage (e.g., greater than 6 months post stroke). Recent evidence suggests that physical therapy still promote meaningful recovery this stage, but required high amount is difficult deliver within scope standard clinical practice. Digital gaming technologies are now being combined with brain–computer interfaces motivate engaging and frequent exercise neural recovery. However, complexity expense...
The spatial distribution of lateral roots in the soil is an important factor influencing water and nutrient absorption. However, root development has rarely been studied detail, especially concerning morphological variations, mainly because such examinations are both time‐consuming laborious. We measured number length all first‐order on seminal maize ( Zea mays L.) wheat Triticum aestivum to investigate variations linear frequency length. This was conducted with reference species, types,...
Lesion analyses are critical for drawing insights about stroke injury and recovery, their importance is underscored by growing efforts to collect combine neuroimaging data across research sites. However, while there numerous processing pipelines in general, few can be smoothly applied due complications analyzing the lesioned region. As researchers often use own tools or manual methods MRI analysis, this could lead greater errors difficulty replicating findings over time Rigorous analysis...
The effectiveness of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) placed over the motor hotspot (thought to represent primary cortex (M1)) modulate network excitability is highly variable. premotor cortex-particularly dorsal (PMd)-may be a promising alternative target reliably excitability, as it influences control across multiple pathways, one independent M1 and with connections M1. This double-blind, placebo-controlled preliminary study aimed differentially excite regions using...
Lesion load of the corticospinal tract (CST-LL), a measure overlap between stroke lesion and CST, is one strongest predictors motor outcomes following stroke. CST-LL typically calculated by using probabilistic map CST originating from primary cortex (M1). However, higher order areas also have projections that contribute to control. In this retrospective study, we examined whether evaluating additional origins more strongly associated with post-stroke severity than M1 only. We found both...

Background. Increased activity in the lesioned hemisphere has been related to improved poststroke motor recovery. However, role of dominant hemisphere—and its relationship hemisphere—has not widely explored. Objective. Here, we examined whether drives lateralization brain after stroke and this changes based on if is or not. Methods. We used fMRI compare cortical action observation network (AON), motor-related regions that are active both during execution an action, 36 left individuals....
Background: Novel noninvasive predictors of disease severity and prognosis in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) are needed. This study evaluated the ability extracellular matrix remodeling markers to diagnose fibrosis stage predict PSC-related progression clinical events. Methods: Liver histology serum collagen formation (propeptide type III [Pro-C3], propeptide IV collagen, V collagen), degradation (type metalloproteinase product product), (enhanced liver [ELF] score its components...

The method enabled rapid on‐site topographical mapping even under technical political restrictions the country. In area about 1 km 2 , coordinates random points on land surface measured, DEM 10 m interval grid was generated point cloud Kriging...
本研究では,海外研究の文献調査と富山市を事例とした調査分析によって,何がシビックプライドの源泉になり得るかを求め,特にシビックプライドの源泉としての都市環境の性質を捉えるために,シビックプライドの源泉とシビックプライドの各側面との関係を明らかにした.本研究の方法と得られた主な知見は以下の通りである.(1) 海外研究の文献調査から,都市環境,文化,スポーツなどがシビックプライドの源泉と捉えられており,自然環境はシビックプライドの源泉と捉えられていないことがわかった.(2) 富山の調査から,自然や食に対して「市民として誇りに思う」度合いが高いことがわかった.(3) 調査結果の因子分析により,富山におけるシビックプライドの源泉は「都市環境」「食・自然」「文化・産業」「交通」の4つの因子から成ることがわかった.共分散構造分析により,「都市環境」と「文化・産業」は「アイデンティティ」「愛着」を高ること,シビックプライドの源泉としての「食・自然」は「愛着」「持続願望」を高める反面「参画」を低めることがわかった.
