Despite the importance of enhancing the accuracy and reliability of non-human primate stereotaxy, a number of limitations exist using currently described techniques. To overcome these problems, we present a simple universally available approach that combines pre-operative magnetic resonance imaging and the non-surgical creation of reference points (teeth marking). We have found that this approach improves stereotaxic targeting reliability and permits accurate reproducible stereotaxic localization at time points distant from the pre-operative imaging.

TopoQual polishes circular consensus sequencing data and accurately predicts quality scores.
BMC Bioinformatics
January 2025
Auburn University, Auburn, AL, 36849, USA.
Background: Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) circular consensus sequencing (CCS), also known as high fidelity (HiFi) technology, has revolutionized modern genomics by producing long (10 + kb) and highly accurate reads. This is achieved by sequencing circularized DNA molecules multiple times and combining them into a consensus sequence. Currently, the accuracy and quality value estimation provided by HiFi technology are more than sufficient for applications such as genome assembly and germline variant calling.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of measuring lymph node size on preoperative CT imaging to predict pathological lymph node metastasis in patients with colon cancer to enhance diagnostic accuracy and improve treatment planning by establishing more reliable assessment methods for lymph node metastasis.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 1,056 patients who underwent colorectal resection at our institution between January 2004 and March 2020. From this cohort, 694 patients with resectable colon cancer were included in the study.
Interpreting positive celiac serology in children with new-onset type 1 diabetes.
J Pediatr Endocrinol Metab
January 2025
Division of Gastroenterology, Hepatology, & Nutrition, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Objectives: The association of celiac disease (CD) in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is well-established, yet variation exists in screening practices. This study measures the accuracy of early screening with tissue transglutaminase Immunoglobulin A (TTG-IgA) and endomysial antibody (EMA) in newly diagnosed T1DM.
Methods: This is a retrospective study of children with T1DM between 2013 and 2019 with early CD screening and follow-up.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease with no effective treatment, often preceded by mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Multimodal imaging genetics integrates imaging and genetic data to gain a deeper understanding of disease progression and individual variations. This study focuses on exploring the mechanisms that drive the transition from normal cognition to MCI and ultimately to AD.

The Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FPAR) is essential for assessing vegetation's photosynthetic efficiency and ecosystem energy balance. While the MODIS FPAR product provides valuable global data, its reliability is compromised by noise, particularly under poor observation conditions like cloud cover. To solve this problem, we developed the Spatio-Temporal Information Composition Algorithm (STICA), which enhances MODIS FPAR by integrating quality control, spatio-temporal correlations, and original FPAR values, resulting in the High-Quality FPAR (HiQ-FPAR) product.
