Capsule networks promise significant benefits over convolutional networks by storing stronger internal representations, and routing information based on the agreement between intermediate representations' projections. Despite this, their success has been limited to small-scale classification datasets due to their computationally expensive nature. Though memory efficient, convolutional capsules impose geometric constraints that fundamentally limit the ability of capsules to model the pose/deformation of objects.

Heterophile antibodies, which can arise from infections, autoimmune disorders, or exposure to animal antigens, can interfere with immunoassays. These antibodies can cross-react with the test reagents used in troponin assays, causing a false elevation in troponin levels. The paper describes a case of a 37-year-old male drug abuser admitted to the emergency room with chest pain.

The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the need to develop the field of remote assessment for autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The purpose of the study was to evaluate an online assessment protocol that includes the Brief Observation of Symptoms of Autism (BOSA). The online protocol consisting of BOSA and the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R) was administered by experienced examiners to 29 children with suspected ASD.

Unusual Maternal and Fetal Findings With Cell-Free DNA Screening.

Obstet Gynecol Surv

September 2024

Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Duke University Health System, Durham, NC.

Importance: With advances in prenatal cell-free DNA (cfDNA) technology, the information available with cfDNA continues to expand beyond the common fetal aneuploidies such as trisomies 21, 18, and 13. Due to the admixture of maternal and fetal/placental DNA, prenatal cfDNA remains a screening test with the possibility of false-positive and false-negative results.

Objective: This review aims to summarize unusual incidental maternal and fetal genomic abnormalities detectable by cfDNA and to provide anticipatory guidance regarding management.

Article Synopsis
  • Wernicke encephalopathy (WE) can lead to various neuro-ophthalmic symptoms like vision loss, and this case highlights a 53-year-old woman who experienced bilateral painless vision decline alongside other neurological issues.* -
  • Despite elevated inflammatory markers and a thorough work-up revealing no clear cause, brain MRI indicated possible WE, prompting immediate high-dose thiamine treatment, which led to significant improvement.* -
  • The case stresses the importance of considering vision loss in Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS) patients and suggests that while checking thiamine levels is important, starting treatment based on clinical suspicion is often necessary and safe.*
