Diagnosis of multiple sclerosis using optical coherence tomography supported by explainable artificial intelligence.

Background/objectives: Study of retinal structure based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) data can facilitate early diagnosis of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Although artificial intelligence can provide highly reliable diagnoses, the results obtained must be explainable.

Subjects/methods: The study included 79 recently diagnosed RRMS patients and 69 age matched healthy control subjects.

Differential Study of Retinal Thicknesses in the Eyes of Alzheimer's Patients, Multiple Sclerosis Patients and Healthy Subjects.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) cause retinal thinning that is detectable in vivo using optical coherence tomography (OCT). To date, no papers have compared the two diseases in terms of the structural differences they produce in the retina. The purpose of this study is to analyse and compare the neuroretinal structure in MS patients, AD patients and healthy subjects using OCT.

RECURRENT SELF-LIMITED HYPERTHERMIA FOLLOWING ELECTROCONVULSIVE THERAPY.

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective and safe treatment for severe mental disorders, when it is implemented under an adequate surveillance. Its most frequently described side effects are anterograde amnesia, mania, post- ictal confusion, nausea, headache, myalgia, oral lacerations and dental injuries.

Bayesian reasoning with emotional material in patients with schizophrenia.

Delusions are one of the most classical symptoms described in schizophrenia. However, despite delusions are often emotionally charged, they have been investigated using tasks involving non-affective material, such as the Beads task. In this study we compared 30 patients with schizophrenia experiencing delusions with 32 matched controls in their pattern of responses to two versions of the Beads task within a Bayesian framework.
