Biomechanical modelling of brain atrophy through deep learning [PDF]
We present a proof-of-concept, deep learning (DL) based, differentiable biomechanical model of realistic brain deformations. Using prescribed maps of local atrophy and growth as input, the network learns to deform images according to a Neo-Hookean model of tissue deformation.

Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) is a neurodegenerative syndrome that is characterised by progressive decline in visuospatial, visuoperceptual, literacy, and praxic skills. The progressive neurodegeneration affecting parietal, occipital, and occipitotemporal cortices that underlies PCA is attributable to Alzheimer's disease in most patients.

Subcortical volumes in cerebral amyloid angiopathy compared with Alzheimer’s disease and controls
BackgroundPrevious reports have suggested that patients with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) may harbor smaller white matter, basal ganglia, and cerebellar volumes compared to age-matched healthy controls (HC) or patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

ABSTRACT:Weakness of distal muscles of one upper limb which progresses over 1 year and then appears to arrest (“monomelic amyotrophy”) has been reported mainly in Japan and India. We report 5 cases of a similar syndrome occurring in Canada. In our cases the wasting affected the forearm muscles of one upper limb (sparing brachioradialis and extensor ...

Condition of the muscles of the back under lumbo-sacral orthotic treatment (literature review)
Our literature review analyzes the available studies on the effect of long- and short-term lumbo-sacral orthotic (LSO) treatment on the muscles of the back. We reviewed the existing diagnostic approaches to evaluation of muscle changes, including surface

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) including ponatinib are commonly used to treat cancer patients. Unfortunately, TKIs induce cardiac as well as skeletal muscle dysfunction as a side effect.

Network resilience in the aging brain [PDF]
Degeneration and adaptation are two competing sides of the same coin called resilience in the progressive processes of brain aging or diseases. Degeneration accumulates during brain aging and other cerebral activities, causing structural atrophy and dysfunction.

Diagnosis and Analysis of Celiac Disease and Environmental Enteropathy on Biopsy Images using Deep Learning Approaches [PDF]
Celiac Disease (CD) and Environmental Enteropathy (EE) are common causes of malnutrition and adversely impact normal childhood development. Both conditions require a tissue biopsy for diagnosis and a major challenge of interpreting clinical biopsy images to differentiate between these gastrointestinal diseases is striking histopathologic overlap ...

Learning Spatio-Temporal Model of Disease Progression with NeuralODEs from Longitudinal Volumetric Data [PDF]
Robust forecasting of the future anatomical changes inflicted by an ongoing disease is an extremely challenging task that is out of grasp even for experienced healthcare professionals. Such a capability, however, is of great importance since it can improve patient management by providing information on the speed of disease progression already at the ...
