Optic Disc and Optic Cup Segmentation Methodologies for Glaucoma Image Detection: A Survey

Journal of Ophthalmology, 2015
Glaucoma is the second leading cause of loss of vision in the world. Examining the head of optic nerve (cup-to-disc ratio) is very important for diagnosing glaucoma and for patient monitoring after diagnosis.

CSF Cytokine Network Organization Predicts Progression Independent of Relapse and MRI Activity in Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Progression independent of relapse activity is a major determinant of long‐term disability in multiple sclerosis, but its immunopathologic basis remains incompletely understood. We investigated whether relapse‐independent progression in radiologically stable relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis is associated with distinct ...

Modeling Progressive Brain Volume Losses in Chronic Moderate Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: Extensive, but Attenuating

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Progressive brain atrophy has now been widely observed in the chronic stages of moderate–severe traumatic brain injury (msTBI), but there is only coarse information regarding its prevalence and magnitude, and whether rate of atrophy accelerates or attenuates across time. We examined these questions in a Canadian inception cohort from

The Comprehensive Live Cell‐Based Cytotoxicity Assay for Monitoring Disease Activity and Guiding Rescue Therapy in Acute Attacks of NMOSD

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a devastating neurological disease that lacks serological biomarkers that can accurately reflect disease activity. We established a live cell‐based assay (LCBA) using serum with endogenous complement to quantify the overall cytotoxicity, offering a novel functional tool for monitoring

Metabolic and Fluid Biomarkers Support Microglia Activation in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is an incurable neurodegenerative disease involving motor neuron degeneration and metabolic and immune dysfunction. We combined clinical data, cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography with magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the role of reactive microglia in disease ...

Clinical Impact of MGMT Promoter Methylation in IDH‐Mutant Gliomas: Influence of Threshold Selection and Clinical Confounding

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The clinical relevance of MGMT promoter methylation in IDH‐mutant gliomas remains controversial in the era of molecular classification. We aimed to systematically evaluate its clinical relevance by integrating quantitative assessment, cutoff exploration, and adjustment for clinical confounding.

Glucagon‐Like Peptide‐1 Receptor Agonists in Multiple Sclerosis: A Topical Narrative Review

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The glucagon‐like peptide‐1 (GLP‐1) receptor agonists (RAs) are a relatively new class of drugs that were initially approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and, subsequently, weight reduction in patients with obesity.
