Multicolor localization microscopy and point-spread-function engineering by deep learning.

Deep learning has become an extremely effective tool for image classification and image restoration problems. Here, we apply deep learning to microscopy and demonstrate how neural networks can exploit the chromatic dependence of the point-spread function to classify the colors of single emitters imaged on a grayscale camera. While existing localization microscopy methods for spectral classification require additional optical elements in the emission path, e.

Biofeedback versus physiotherapy in patients with partial weight-bearing.

Medical instructions for partial weight-bearing after lower limb surgery and fractures are commonly given. The techniques for instruction are mainly verbal cues. Our aim was to evaluate the efficiency of a new biofeedback device compared with traditional intervention for gait rehabilitation.

Exacerbation of Wegener's granulomatosis during pregnancy: report of a case with tracheal stenosis and literature review.

Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is a rare multisystem disease of unknown etiology. We describe a woman with WG who relapsed twice during 2 pregnancies with appearance of tracheal stenosis. During the first pregnancy which ended with a delivery of a healthy baby, the subglottic stenosis responded to laser radiation and glucocorticosteroid therapy.

Bronchoscopic evaluation of peripheral lung tumours.

The results obtained from fibreoptic bronchoscopy preformed under fluoroscopic guidance were evaluated in a prospective study of 71 consecutive patients with a peripheral lung lesion more than 2 cm in diameter on the chest radiograph. A peripheral lung lesion was defined as a lesion that was not seen within the bronchial tree at fibreoptic bronchoscopy. Small volume washings, bronchoalveolar lavage, transbronchial biopsy, and bronchial brushings were carried out and fluid or tissue was sent for cytological or histological examination as appropriate.
