Downregulation of the Autism Spectrum Disorder Gene Shank2 Decreases Bone Mass in Male Mice
JBMR Plus, 2023 Mutations of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Shank2 lead to autism spectrum disorders (ASD). These patients frequently suffer from higher fracture risk. Here, we investigated whether Shank2 directly regulates bone mass. We show that Shank2 is expressed

On the comparison between pre- and post-surgery nasal anatomies via computational fluid dynamics [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Nasal breathing difficulties (NBD) are widespread and difficult to diagnose; the failure rate of their surgical corrections is high. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) enables diagnosis of NBD and surgery planning, by comparing a pre-operative (pre-op) situation with the outcome of virtual surgery (post-op).

Reconstructing Sinus Anatomy from Endoscopic Video -- Towards a Radiation-free Approach for Quantitative Longitudinal Assessment [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Reconstructing accurate 3D surface models of sinus anatomy directly from an endoscopic video is a promising avenue for cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis to better understand the relationship between sinus anatomy and surgical outcomes. We present a patient-specific, learning-based method for 3D reconstruction of sinus surface anatomy directly ...

Brain Anatomy Prior Modeling to Forecast Clinical Progression of Cognitive Impairment with Structural MRI [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Brain structural MRI has been widely used to assess the future progression of cognitive impairment (CI). Previous learning-based studies usually suffer from the issue of small-sized labeled training data, while there exist a huge amount of structural MRIs in large-scale public databases.

GABA immunoreactive elements in the sensory system of the earthworm Eisenia fetida (Annelida, Clitellata) [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2016 The presence of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) immunoreactive elements was observed in the sensory system of Eisenia fetida (Annelida, Clitellata). Among the primary sensory cells a high number of labelled cells was found in the epithelium.

Anatomy-Aware Cardiac Motion Estimation [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Cardiac motion estimation is critical to the assessment of cardiac function. Myocardium feature tracking (FT) can directly estimate cardiac motion from cine MRI, which requires no special scanning procedure. However, current deep learning-based FT methods may result in unrealistic myocardium shapes since the learning is solely guided by image ...

Learning Deep Features for Shape Correspondence with Domain Invariance [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Correspondence-based shape models are key to various medical imaging applications that rely on a statistical analysis of anatomies. Such shape models are expected to represent consistent anatomical features across the population for population-specific shape statistics.
