Deep‐Learning Model for Central Nervous System Infection Diagnosis and Prognosis Using Label‐Free 3D Immune‐Cell Morphology in the Cerebrospinal Fluid

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Early diagnosis and prognosis prediction of central nervous system infections are critical. This study introduces a deep‐learning model utilizing cerebrospinal fluid immune‐cell morphology captured via 3D holotomography. The model effectively predicts infection etiology and prognosis, achieving high accuracy.

Predictive value of pituitary tumor morphology on outcomes and complications in endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 321-329, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Purpose Endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery (ETSS) is an increasingly utilized approach for resection of pituitary tumors. Prior studies have evaluated preoperative tumor size, location, and extent as prognostic factors for surgical resection. There is little data on the relationship between preoperative pituitary tumor radiographic morphology ...

Heparin‐Binding Protein in Cerebrospinal Fluid as a Biomarker for Bacterial Meningitis: A Study of Diagnostic Accuracy

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of heparin‐binding protein (HBP) in cerebrospinal fluid for the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis in patients with a suspected central nervous system infection. Methods This prospective multicenter cohort study determined the diagnostic accuracy of HBP in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for bacterial ...

Evolution and neutralization escape of the SARS-CoV-2 BA.2.86 subvariant

Nature Communications, 2023
Omicron BA.2.86 subvariant differs from Omicron BA.2 as well as recently circulating variants by over 30 mutations in the spike protein alone. Here we report on the isolation of the live BA.2.86 subvariant from a diagnostic swab collected in South Africa

Modeling the effects of information-dependent vaccination behavior on meningitis transmission [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
We propose a mathematical model to investigate the effects of information-dependent vaccination behavior on meningitis transmission. The information is represented by means of information index as early proposed in (d'Onofrio et al., Theor. pop. biol., 2007).

Bioinspired Cationic Antimicrobial Polymers

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Accepted Article.
Antibiotics are an essential tool of modern medicine, which is critically endangered by the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Without effective antibiotics, a number of medical advancements from the last century are in jeopardy, threatening our global public health and leading to a high death toll.

Otologic and vestibular symptoms in COVID‐19: A scoping review

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 287-296, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Otologic and vestibular symptoms have been seen in patients confirmed to have COVID‐19 disease. Further discussion of these symptoms may provide insight into short‐ and long‐term management for these patients. Objective The aim of this review was to describe the otologic and vestibular symptoms that present in patients with COVID‐19.

Powering Disturb-Free Reconfigurable Computing and Tunable Analog Electronics with Dual-Port Ferroelectric FET [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Single-port ferroelectric FET (FeFET) that performs write and read operations on the same electrical gate prevents its wide application in tunable analog electronics and suffers from read disturb, especially to the high-threshold voltage (VTH) state as the retention energy barrier is reduced by the applied read bias.
