This article introduces general concepts and definitions related to the notion of asynchronous computation in the framework of artificial neural networks. Using the dynamic field theory as an illustrative example, we explain why one may want to perform such asynchronous computation and how one can implement it since this computational scheme draws several consequences on both the trajectories and the stability of the whole system. After giving an unequivocal definition of asynchronous computation, we present a few practically usable methods and quantitative bounds that can guarantee most of the mesoscopic properties of the system.

A Drosophila cardiac myosin increases jump muscle stretch activation and shortening deactivation.

Electronic address:

Stretch activation (SA), a delayed increase in force production following rapid muscle lengthening, is critical to the function of vertebrate cardiac muscle and insect asynchronous indirect flight muscle (IFM). SA enables or increases power generation in muscle types used in a cyclical manner. Recently, myosin isoform expression has been implicated as a mechanism for varying the amplitude of SA in some muscle types.

Synchronous Acute Appendicitis and Cholecystitis.

CRSLS

January 2025

Department of Surgery, King Saud University Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. (Drs. Aljunaydil, Mattar, Almufawaz, AlOthman, and Alalem).

Article Synopsis
  • Acute appendicitis and acute cholecystitis often occur together, and surgical management is effective for both conditions when they present simultaneously.
  • A 30-year-old female patient presented with abdominal pain and underwent imaging that confirmed the diagnoses, leading to a successful surgical intervention combining cholecystectomy and appendectomy.
  • The case underscores the importance of recognizing the possibility of both conditions occurring together and utilizing established management guidelines for effective treatment.

Cervicothoracic volumetric bone mineral density assessed by opportunistic QCT may be a reliable marker for osteoporosis in adults.

Osteoporos Int

December 2024

Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Neuroradiology, Klinikum Rechts Der Isar, TUM School of Medicine and Health, Technical University of Munich, Ismaninger Str 22, 81675, Munich, Germany.

Unlabelled: This study aimed to validate the correlation between volumetric bone mineral density in the cervicothoracic and lumbar spine using measurements from opportunistic CT scans. The bone density assessment proved feasible, allowing us to propose optimal cut-off values for diagnosing osteoporosis and predicting vertebral fractures in the cervical and thoracic spine.

Objectives: To investigate the performance of cervicothoracic volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), obtained through opportunistic quantitative computed tomography (QCT), in discriminating patients with/without osteoporosis and with/without vertebral fractures (VFs), using lumbar vBMD as the reference.

We generated asynchronous functional networks (aFNs) using a novel method called optimal causation entropy and compared aFN topology with the correlation-based synchronous functional networks (sFNs), which are commonly used in network neuroscience studies. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) time series from 212 participants of the National Consortium on Alcohol and Neurodevelopment in Adolescence study were used to generate aFNs and sFNs. As a demonstration of how aFNs and sFNs can be used in tandem, we used multivariate mixed effects models to determine whether age interacted with node efficiency to influence connection probabilities in the two networks.
