Apolipoprotein (apo) E4 is the major genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). ApoE4 has sex-dependent effects, whereby of developing AD higher in apoE4-expressing females than males. However, mechanism underlying sex difference, relation to apoE4, unknown. Previous findings indicate that apoE4 causes age-dependent impairments hilar GABAergic interneurons female mice, leading learning and memory deficits. Here, we investigate whether detrimental effects on are using apoE knock-in...
As post hoc explanation methods are increasingly being leveraged to explain complex models in high-stakes settings, it becomes critical ensure that the quality of resulting explanations is consistently high across all subgroups a population. For instance, should not be case associated with instances belonging to, e.g., women, less accurate than those other genders. In this work, we initiate study identifying group-based disparities quality. To end, first outline several key properties...
When an individual reports a negative interaction with some system, how can their personal experience be contextualized within broader patterns of system behavior? We study the incident database problem, where adverse events arrive sequentially, and are aggregated over time. In this work, our goal is to identify whether there subgroups--defined by any combination relevant features--that disproportionately likely harmful interactions system. formalize problem as sequential hypothesis test,...
The ability to distinguish between similar experiences is a critical feature of episodic memory and primarily regulated by the dentate gyrus (DG) region hippocampus. However, molecular mechanisms underlying such pattern separation tasks are poorly understood. We report novel role for small GTPase ADP ribosylation factor 4 (Arf4) in controlling regulating dendritic spine development. Arf4+/− mice at 4–5 months age display severe impairments task, as well significant loss smaller miniature...
Epidemiological studies have demonstrated racial disparities in the workup of emergency department patients with chest pain and referral admitted for intervention. However, little is known about possible stress test utilization low-risk to units. A retrospective observational study consecutive unit was conducted. Eligibility criteria included age >18 years, American Heart Association low-to-intermediate risk, nondynamic electrocardiograms, normal initial troponin I. Patients aged >75 years a...
Ultrasonic propulsion is an investigative modality to noninvasively image and reposition urinary stones. Our goals were test safety effectiveness of new acoustic exposure conditions from a transducer, use simultaneous ureteroscopic ultrasonic observation quantify stone repositioning.
Followup imaging after percutaneous nephrolithotomy serves to detect postoperative complications, residual fragments and silent hydronephrosis. However, the timing optimal modality remain poorly defined. We describe use patterns nephrolithotomy.In MarketScan® database we identified patients 17 64 years old who underwent between 2007 2014. Imaging modalities were by CPT, ICD-9 10 codes, tracked for 1 year nephrolithotomy. The included computerized tomography, renal ultrasound, abdominal x-ray...
Objective This study aimed to develop a diagnostic model estimate the distribution of small renal mass (SRM; ≤4 cm) histologic subtypes for patients with different demographic backgrounds and clear cell likelihood score (ccLS) designations. Materials Methods A bi-institution retrospective cohort was conducted where 347 (366 SRMs) underwent magnetic resonance imaging received ccLS before pathologic confirmation between June 2016 November 2021. Age, sex, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status,...
Ultrasonic propulsion is an investigational procedure for awake patients. Our purpose was to evaluate whether ultrasonic facilitate residual kidney stone fragment clearance reduced relapse.

Our goal is an office-based, handheld ultrasound system to target, detach, break, and/or expel stones and stone fragments from the urinary collecting facilitate natural clearance. Repositioning of in humans (maximum 2.5 MPa, 3-second bursts) breaking a porcine model 50 cycles, 20 Hz repetition, 30 minutes, 7 MPa peak negative pressure) have been demonstrated using same 350-kHz probe. was conducted during surgery with ureteroscope kidney film movement.
