By gaining insights into how brain activity is encoded and decoded, we enhance our understanding of brain function. This study introduces a method for classifying EEG signals related to visual objects, employing a combination of an LSTM network and nonlinear interval type-2 fuzzy regression (NIT2FR). Here, ResNet is utilized for feature extraction from images, the LSTM network for feature extraction from EEG signals, and NIT2FR for mapping image features to EEG signal features.

Seventy-four eyes of 74 patients with PVR-C were included. Of these, 37 eyes were assigned to the MTX group and 37 eyes to the control group.

- The current optogenetic approach risks damaging retinal cells because the light intensity needed is too high, but red-shifted lights are safer than blue lights.
- Researchers created three new red-shifted variants of Opto-mGluR6 (ROM17, ROM18, ROM19) using bioinformatics, and tests confirmed that these variants effectively respond to the desired light wavelengths and can activate G-protein signaling safely.
The epidemiology of gram-negative bacteremia in Lebanon: a study in four hospitals.
Ann Clin Microbiol Antimicrob
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- Gram-negative bacteremia is a severe infection that is becoming more common and harder to treat due to antibiotic resistance, particularly in Lebanon where data is scarce.* -
- A study of 2400 patients revealed that infections were mainly caused by bacteria like E. coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, with increasing resistance to critical antibiotics like carbapenems.* -
- The findings highlight the urgent need for better monitoring and data collection to improve treatment strategies for gram-negative bacteremia in Lebanon, as certain resistant strains are linked to higher mortality rates.*
