Abstract The International League Against Epilepsy/American Epilepsy Society (ILAE/AES) Joint Translational Task Force established the TASK3 working groups to create common data elements (CDEs) for various aspects of preclinical epilepsy research studies, which could help improve the standardization of experimental designs.

Low‐field MRI: Clinical promise and challenges
Modern MRI scanners have trended toward higher field strengths to maximize signal and resolution while minimizing scan time. However, high‐field devices remain expensive to install and operate, making them scarce outside of high‐income countries and major population centers.

A comparative study of 2D image segmentation algorithms for traumatic brain lesions using CT data from the ProTECTIII multicenter clinical trial [PDF]
Automated segmentation of medical imaging is of broad interest to clinicians and machine learning researchers alike. The goal of segmentation is to increase efficiency and simplicity of visualization and quantification of regions of interest within a medical image.

ComplexWoundDB: A Database for Automatic Complex Wound Tissue Categorization [PDF]
Complex wounds usually face partial or total loss of skin thickness, healing by secondary intention. They can be acute or chronic, figuring infections, ischemia and tissue necrosis, and association with systemic diseases. Research institutes around the globe report countless cases, ending up in a severe public health problem, for they involve human ...

Detecting and localizing the foci in human epileptic seizures [PDF]
We consider the electrical signals recorded from a subdural array of electrodes placed on the pial surface of the brain for chronic evaluation of epileptic patients before surgical resection. A simple and computationally fast method to analyze the interictal phase synchrony between such electrodes is introduced and developed with the aim of detecting ...

Classification of Hematoma: Joint Learning of Semantic Segmentation and Classification [PDF]
Cerebral hematoma grows rapidly in 6-24 hours and misprediction of the growth can be fatal if it is not operated by a brain surgeon. There are two types of cerebral hematomas: one that grows rapidly and the other that does not grow rapidly. We are developing the technique of artificial intelligence to determine whether the CT image includes the ...

Geo-clustered chronic affinity: pathways from socio-economic disadvantages to health disparities [PDF]
Our objective was to develop and test a new concept (affinity) analogous to multimorbidity of chronic conditions for individuals at census tract level in Memphis, TN. The use of affinity will improve the surveillance of multiple chronic conditions and facilitate the design of effective interventions.

Statistical Applications in Pain Management: A Review [PDF]
Chronic pain is a widespread and debilitating condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide. Recent research has unveiled a connection between chronic pain and epigenetic processes, shedding light on the complex interplay between genetics, environment, and pain perception.

A Surgical Platform for Intracerebral Hemorrhage Robotic Evacuation (ASPIHRE): A Non-metallic MR-guided Concentric Tube Robot [PDF]
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the deadliest stroke sub-type, with a one-month mortality rate as high as 52%. Due to the potential cortical disruption caused by craniotomy, conservative management (watchful waiting) has historically been a common method of treatment.

TBI Contusion Segmentation from MRI using Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is caused by a sudden trauma to the head that may result in hematomas and contusions and can lead to stroke or chronic disability. An accurate quantification of the lesion volumes and their locations is essential to understand the pathophysiology of TBI and its progression.
