Neural Network-Based Prediction of Perceived Sleep Quality Through Wearable Device Data.

April 2024
Article Synopsis
- * The main goal was to find connections between data from these devices (like heart rate and activity levels) and participants' subjective sleep quality ratings.
- * Results showed moderate predictive accuracy (59%), but adjusting the scale's tolerance improved this to 92%, indicating the need for deeper analysis on how wearables and AI can enhance our understanding of sleep behavior.
Background: Acanthamoeba species can cause disseminating infections in immunocompromised individuals.
Case Presentation: Here, we report a case of granulomatous acanthamoebic encephalitis with a lethal outcome in a 54-year-old German man who was human immunodeficiency virus-positive. The diagnosis was based on symptoms of progressive neurological deficits, including sensorimotor paralysis of his right leg and deteriorating alertness.
We report the case of pathologically proved atypical herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) in a 40-year-old male patient with AIDS who was followed up by MR imaging, which included diffusion-weighted imaging and proton MR spectroscopy ((1)H-MRS). MR revealed sparing of hippocampi and limbic cortices, necrosis of both cingulate gyri, and cerebellar involvement. Increased diffusivity and severe metabolic alterations were compatible with biopsy findings of necrotizing inflammation.

By screening 4 medulloblastoma cDNA expression libraries (SEREX) with autologous sera, 15 different antigens were identified. These antigens were encoded by 3 novel genes, genes of unknown function (KIAA0445, KIAA1853, KIAA0665, FLJ13942, HSPC213), a proto-oncogene (rab18), candidate tumor suppressor genes (BAP1, PRDM13) and genes encoding a motor protein (kinesin-2), a histone (H2A1.
