Association in Facial Phenotype, Gene, Disease: A Dataset for Explainable Rare Genetic Diseases Diagnosis [PDF]
Many rare genetic diseases exhibit recognizable facial phenotypes, which are often used as diagnostic clues. However, current facial phenotype diagnostic models, which are trained on image datasets, have high accuracy but often suffer from an inability to explain their predictions, which reduces physicians' confidence in the model output.In this paper,

Vagus nerve manipulation and microglial plasticity in the prenatal brain [PDF]
The efferent and afferent effects of the vagus nerve on the developing brain have remained enigmatic. Here we review the evidence of such effects on microglial plasticity in the sheep model of human fetal development, one of the most recognized and deployed models of human fetal physiology.

Estimated Incidence of Ophthalmic Conditions Associated with Optic Nerve Disease in Middle Tennessee [PDF]
Aims. The objective of this paper is to determine the incidence of ophthalmic disease potentially leading to optic nerve disease in Middle Tennessee. Methods. We use a retrospective population-based incidence study design focusing on the population of middle Tennessee and its nearby suburbs (N=3 397 515). The electronic medical records for all patients
