Describes a new implementation of Lee's (1980) image enhancement algorithm. This approach, based on the logarithmic image processing (LIP) model, can simultaneously enhance the overall contrast and the sharpness of an image. A normalized complement transform has been proposed to simplify the analysis and the implementation of the LIP model-based algorithms. This new implementation has been compared with histogram equalization and Lee's original algorithm.

Atherogenic index of plasma and coronary artery disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies.
Cardiovasc Diabetol
January 2025
Cardiovascular Diseases Research Institute, Tehran Heart Center, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, North Kargar Ave, Tehran, 1995614331, Iran.
Background: Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), a novel logarithmic index that combines fasting triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations, is associated with the burden of atherosclerosis. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between AIP and coronary artery disease (CAD) risk, severity, and prognosis in populations with and without established CAD.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were systematically searched from the inception of each database to August 13, 2024.
Zero-Shot Adaptation for Approximate Posterior Sampling of Diffusion Models in Inverse Problems.
Comput Vis ECCV
November 2024
University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.
Diffusion models have emerged as powerful generative techniques for solving inverse problems. Despite their success in a variety of inverse problems in imaging, these models require many steps to converge, leading to slow inference time. Recently, there has been a trend in diffusion models for employing sophisticated noise schedules that involve more frequent iterations of timesteps at lower noise levels, thereby improving image generation and convergence speed.

J Neurol
January 2025
Department of Neurology, University Hospital Frankfurt, Frankfurt Am Main, Germany.
Background: BDNF has increasingly gained attention as a key molecule controlling remyelination with a prominent role in neuroplasticity and neuroprotection. Still, it remains unclear how BDNF relates to clinicoradiological characteristics particularly at the early stage of the disease where precise prognosis for the further MS course is crucial.
Methods: BDNF, NfL and GFAP concentrations in serum and CSF were assessed in 106 treatment naïve patients with MS (pwMS) as well as 73 patients with other inflammatory/non-inflammatory neurological or somatoform disorders using a single molecule array HD-1 analyser.
Association between left ventricular reverse remodelling and the B-type natriuretic peptide-cGMP cascade after anterior acute myocardial infarction.
Open Heart
January 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, Suita, Osaka, Japan.
Background: The role of cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is not well understood despite its significance as a second messenger of natriuretic peptides (NPs) in cardiovascular disease. We investigated the association between the NP-cGMP cascade and left ventricular reverse remodelling (LVRR) in anterior AMI.
Methods: 67 patients with their first anterior AMI (median age, 64 years; male, 76%) underwent prospective evaluation of plasma concentrations of the molecular forms of A-type and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and cGMP from immediately after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) to 10 months post-AMI.
Computational complexity as a potential limitation on brain-behaviour mapping.

Within the reductionist framework, researchers in the special sciences formulate key terms and concepts and try to explain them with lower-level science terms and concepts. For example, behavioural vision scientists describe contrast perception with a psychometric function, in which the perceived brightness increases logarithmically with the physical contrast of a light patch (the Weber-Fechner law). Visual neuroscientists describe the output of neural circuits with neurometric functions.
