Retinal Blood Vessels Segmentation using Local Ternary Pattern

Pakistan Journal of Engineering & Technology, 2021
Retinal vessels segmentation is an important task in medical image analysis. This paper presents a robust vessel segmentation algorithm. The proposed method initially, isolates the Green channel from the input image.

Early Retinal UCHL1 Dysregulation Coupled With Synaptic Loss Reflects Alzheimer's Disease Severity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies synapse‐enriched deubiquitinase UCHL1 as an early Aβ‐responsive regulator of retinal synaptopathy in Alzheimer's disease. Retinal UCHL1 loss accompanies excitatory synapse degeneration, p75NTR activation, and neuroinflammation, and predicts Braak stage and cognitive decline. Aβ42 fibrils trigger synaptic and UCHL1 depletion before

Modeling the intensity profiles of retinal vessels: an extended hermite model and its validation [PDF]

, 2010
My target was to develop a model that could well follow the intensity profile of a retinal vessel, and therefore to implement an algorithm to measure the width of the vessel’s cross section. The model has to fit all the intensity profiles, also when the

Synchronization‐Dissipation in the Cardiorespiratory System

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By modeling central nervous coupling and viscoelastic interactions in the cardiorespiratory system we show that synchronization produces a 10% gain in cardiac efficiency in humans. It is surmised that respiratory sinus arrhythmia improves cardiac pumping efficiency by reducing dynamic stress and power dissipation in the pulmonary vasculature.

Organoid Brain‐Machine‐Interface Devices for Central Nervous System Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We envision organoid brain‐machine‐interface (Organoid‐BMI) devices as new biohybrid bidirectional communication pathways to connect the human CNS and the external world for personalized CNS repair and regeneration. ABSTRACT Central nervous system (CNS) repair and regeneration suffer from tremendous clinical challenges due to current limitations in ...

ORBIT‐AMD: Ordinal Risk, Bilateral Imaging, and Trajectory Learning for Age‐Related Macular Degeneration in Multi‐Cohorts

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Eligibility flow and real‐world AMD burden in the UKB retinal imaging cohort and TMUEH external‐validation cohort. Overview of the ORBIT‐AMD architecture, integrating retinal representation pretraining, bilateral eye‐graph modeling and concept bottleneck learning to support ordered risk, bilateral context, interpretable lesion concepts, longitudinal ...

Adult limbal neurosphere cells: a potential autologous cell resource for retinal cell generation [PDF]

, 2014
The Corneal limbus is a readily accessible region at the front of the eye, separating the cornea and sclera. Neural colonies (neurospheres) can be generated from adult corneal limbus in vitro.

An Aggregation‐Induced Polymerization Poly(Disulfide)‐Drug Nanoplatform for Autoimmune Uveitis Therapy via Inhibiting the cGAS‐STING Pathway

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A cationic poly(disulfide)‐drug nanoplatform (LA/DexP) was developed to treat experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU). With potent blood‐retinal barrier penetrability, LA/DexP releases DSP in response to high ROS and scavenges cfDNA to inhibit the cGAS‐STING signaling pathway.

A Rare De Novo Missense Mutation in IFT122 Confers a Genetic Susceptibility Factor of Idiopathic Pediatric Uveitis Via Trio‐based Whole‐Exome Sequencing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A rare de novo IFT122‐A773E variant is identified in idiopathic pediatric uveitis and shown to exacerbate retinal inflammation and barrier dysfunction. Mechanistically, the variant enhances IFT43 interaction, elevates calcium signaling, and activates the MEK/ERK/FRA1 axis, revealing a previously unrecognized cilia‐associated pathway that may increase ...
