Article Abstract
Motivation: Two-colour microarrays are widely used to perform transcriptome analysis. In most cases, it appears that the 'red' and 'green' images resulting from the scan of a microarray slide are slightly shifted one with respect to the other. To increase the robustness of the measurement of the fluorescent emission intensities, multiple acquisitions with the same or different PMT gains can be used. In these cases, a systematic correction of image shift is required.
Results: To accurately detect this shift, we first developed an approach using cross-correlation. Second, we evaluated the most appropriate interpolation method to be used to derive the registered image. Then, we quantified the effects of image shifts on spot quality, using two different quality estimators. Finally, we measured the benefits associated with a systematic image registration. In this study, we demonstrate that registering the two images prior to data extraction provides a more reliable estimate of the two colours' ratio and thus increases the accuracy of measurements of variations in gene expression.

Safe Laparoscopic Treatment of a Giant Hepatic Cyst That Compressed the Inferior Vena Cava With Severe Kyphosis.
Asian J Endosc Surg

We report a case in which a giant hepatic cyst located at the hepatic hilum and compressing the inferior vena cava was safely treated laparoscopically with careful attention to hemodynamics in a difficult fenestrated resection in a patient with severe kyphosis. The anatomic location of the cyst was evaluated preoperatively via 3D reconstruction of computed tomography images to identify a site where safe fenestrated resection could be performed. This was challenging because the surgical field was narrow due to the presence of severe kyphosis, and there was a risk of damage to surrounding organs during fenestrated resection.

Introduction: The aim of the study was to assess the etiological distribution of patients with an erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) over 100 mm/hour and to evaluate differences in demographic, comorbidity, laboratory characteristics, and clinical outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective observational clinical study included patients aged 18 years and older who were admitted to the internal medicine inpatient clinic between May 1, 2015 and June 1, 2021 and had ESR values above 100 mm/h. Demographic data, comorbidities, laboratory parameters, imaging studies, histopathological findings, microbiological and serological data, along with in-hospital and post-discharge mortality, were collected from the hospital's electronic database.
AneRBC dataset: a benchmark dataset for computer-aided anemia diagnosis using RBC images.

Visual analysis of peripheral blood smear slides using medical image analysis is required to diagnose red blood cell (RBC) morphological deformities caused by anemia. The absence of a complete anaemic RBC dataset has hindered the training and testing of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for computer-aided analysis of RBC morphology. We introduce a benchmark RBC image dataset named Anemic RBC (AneRBC) to overcome this problem.

Simultaneous rheological, polarized light imaging, and small-angle X-ray scattering experiments (Rheo-PLI-SAXS) are developed, thereby providing unprecedented level of insight into the multiscale orientation of hierarchical systems in simple shear. Notably, it is observed that mesoscale alignment in the flow direction does not develop simultaneously across nano-micro lengthscales in sheared suspensions of rod-like chiral-nematic (meso) phase forming cellulose nanocrystals. Rather, with increasing shear rate, orientation is observed first at mesoscale and then extends to the nanoscale, with influencing factors being the aggregation state of the hierarchy and concentration.

Moletest (Scotland) Ltd, Edinburgh, United Kingdom.
Four versions of the novel Moletest on-device signal-processing analysis software, delivered on a single-application iPadPro11, were evaluated in pigmented skin lesions of patients sent for biopsy comparing its results with the lesion histology. The primary objective was to demonstrate that the nomela test provided at least 95 ± 2% sensitivity for not-melanoma. Proprietary software recognised the lesion perimeter, rejecting images with uncertain border, and performed analysis using non-scalar metrics of the image within the perimeter.
