The efficacy of behavioural activation treatment for co-occurring depression and substance use disorder (the activate study): a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Epidemiological studies suggest that compared with the general population, mood disorders are up to 4.7 times more prevalent in substance dependent samples. Comorbid substance use disorder (SUD) and depression has been associated with a more severe and protracted illness course and poorer treatment outcomes.

A novel segmentation-based algorithm for the quantification of magnified cells.

Cell segmentation and counting is often required in disciplines such as biological research and medical diagnosis. Manual counting, although still employed, suffers from being time consuming and sometimes unreliable. As a result, several automated cell segmentation and counting methods have been developed.
