Granulomatosis with polyangiitis: Common and uncommon presentations
Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, Volume 66, Issue 8, Page 1089-1096, December 2022., 2022 Summary Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a multisystemic autoimmune small vessel vasculitis predominantly affecting the respiratory and renal systems. Other systems such as the central nervous system, orbital, cardiac and gastrointestinal systems may also be involved to a lesser degree.

BrainCog: A Spiking Neural Network based Brain-inspired Cognitive Intelligence Engine for Brain-inspired AI and Brain Simulation [PDF]
, 2022 Spiking neural networks (SNNs) have attracted extensive attentions in Brain-inspired Artificial Intelligence and computational neuroscience. They can be used to simulate biological information processing in the brain at multiple scales. More importantly, SNNs serve as an appropriate level of abstraction to bring inspirations from brain and cognition to

Lifting-based variational multiclass segmentation algorithm: design, convergence analysis, and implementation with applications in medical imaging [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 We propose, analyze and realize a variational multiclass segmentation scheme that partitions a given image into multiple regions exhibiting specific properties. Our method determines multiple functions that encode the segmentation regions by minimizing an energy functional combining information from different channels.

A differentiable brain simulator bridging brain simulation and brain-inspired computing [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Brain simulation builds dynamical models to mimic the structure and functions of the brain, while brain-inspired computing (BIC) develops intelligent systems by learning from the structure and functions of the brain. The two fields are intertwined and should share a common programming framework to facilitate each other's development.
