Mitigating susceptibility-induced distortions in high-resolution 3DEPI fMRI at 7T

NeuroImage, 2023
Geometric distortion is a major limiting factor for spatial specificity in high-resolution fMRI using EPI readouts and is exacerbated at higher field strengths due to increased B0 field inhomogeneity.

Long‐term hippocampal alterations and cognitive impairment in a murine model of surgical sepsis

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Using a mouse model of surgical sepsis, we tested long‐term memory and analyzed the transcriptome of single cells isolated from the hippocampus. Survivor mice showed worse memory, loss of certain brain cell subpopulations, and abnormal immune cell activity—suggesting that post‐sepsis brain alterations may be linked to cognitive deficits.

Molecular characterization of covRS mutations in M1UK Streptococcus pyogenes

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) acquires covRS mutations driving a hypervirulent bacterial state, frequently associated with invasive disease‐like necrotizing fasciitis. We demonstrate that the newly emerged M1UK GAS lineage can also acquire these mutations.

Anatomical augmented reality with 3D commodity tracking and image-space alignment [PDF]

Computers & Graphics, 2017
This paper presents a mirror-like augmented reality (AR) system to display the internal anatomy of the current user. Using a single Microsoft V2.0 Kinect (later on referenced as the Kinect), we animate in real-time a user-specific model of internal anatomy according to the user’s motion and we superimpose it onto the user’s color map.

Natural Products as Geroprotective Modulators in Diabetic Nephropathy: A Mechanistic Framework Integrating Aging Hallmarks and the AMPK–SIRT1–Nrf2 Axis

Aging and Cancer, EarlyView.
Natural products target the aging kidney in diabetic nephropathy by restoring the AMPK–SIRT1–Nrf2 axis, reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis, and cellular senescence while enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis and antioxidant defenses.

Assessment of intraoperative soft tissue balance in functional alignment total knee arthroplasty: A comparative study with anatomic alignment

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics
Purpose The purpose of this study is to evaluate the gap balance after implantation in patients who have undergone total knee arthroplasty (TKA) via functional alignment (FA) by comparing the virtual gap in preoperative simulation.

Anatomical Pelvic Parameters Using the Anterior Pelvic Plane: Relationships with Standing Sagittal Spinal Alignment and Estimated Lumbar Alignment in Healthy Volunteers

Spine Surgery and Related Research
Introduction: To estimate natural standing sagittal alignment in patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD), we previously reported the normative values of anatomical pelvic parameters in a healthy population, based on the anterior pelvic plane (APP ...
