BIAFLOWS: A Collaborative Framework to Reproducibly Deploy and Benchmark Bioimage Analysis Workflows.

Image analysis is key to extracting quantitative information from scientific microscopy images, but the methods involved are now often so refined that they can no longer be unambiguously described by written protocols. We introduce BIAFLOWS, an open-source web tool enabling to reproducibly deploy and benchmark bioimage analysis workflows coming from any software ecosystem. A curated instance of BIAFLOWS populated with 34 image analysis workflows and 15 microscopy image datasets recapitulating common bioimage analysis problems is available online.

Principles of hospital disaster management: an integrated and multidisciplinary approach.

Principles of hospital disaster management: an integrated and multidisciplinary approach. Hospitals play an important role during a disaster response, and are also at risk for internal incidents. We propose an integrated and multidisciplinary approach towards hospital disaster management and preparedness.

Measuring end expiratory lung volume after cardiac surgery.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the interest of end expiratory volume (EELV) measurement after cardiac surgery.

Methods: After stabilization, four EELV measurements were performed at one hour intervals during three hours using the nitrogen washout technique. EELV was compared to the predicted functional residual capacity (FRC) volume.

Identification of a novel autoantigen in inflammatory bowel disease by protein microarray.

Background: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) display immunoreactivity to self-antigens and microbial antigens. We used a protein microarray approach to identify novel autoantigens in IBD.

Methods: ProtoArray Human Protein Microarray v4.
