Published: December 2016

Advanced techniques in machine learning combined with scalable "cloud" computing infrastructure are driving the creation of new and innovative health diagnostic applications. We describe a service and application for performing image training and recognition, tailored to dermatology and melanoma identification. The system implements new machine learning approaches to provide a feedback-driven training loop. This training sequence enhances classification performance by incrementally retraining the classifier model from expert responses. To easily provide this application and associated web service to clinical practices, we also describe a scalable cloud infrastructure, deployable in public cloud infrastructure and private, on-premise systems.

Imageless imagery in aphantasia revealed by early visual cortex decoding.

Curr Biol

Activity in the early visual cortex is thought to tightly couple with conscious experience, including feedback-driven mental imagery. However, in aphantasia (a complete lack of visual imagery), the state of mental imagery, what takes its place, or how any activity relates to qualia remains unknown. This study analyzed univariate (amplitude) and multivariate (decoding) blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signals in primary visual cortex during imagery attempts.

An advanced preceptor training course was developed to address gaps in precepting skills identified through a thorough gap analysis. The course reinforces foundational concepts while integrating new strategies like role-playing, peer discussions, and hands-on activities. It aims to enhance critical thinking, conflict management, and feedback skills.

The construction of complex systems by simple chemicals that can display emergent network dynamics might contribute to our understanding of complex behavior from simple organic reactions. Here we design single amino acid/dipeptide-based systems that exhibit multiple periodic changes of (dis)assembly under non-equilibrium conditions in closed system, importantly in the absence of evolved biocatalysts. The two-component based building block exploits pH driven non-covalent assembly and time-delayed accelerated catalysis from self-assembled state to install orthogonal feedback loops with a single batch of reactants.

A modular activity to support knowledge retention, application, and metacognition in undergraduate immunology.

J Microbiol Biol Educ

December 2024

Department of Biochemistry, Microbiology, and Immunology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Learning in undergraduate immunology requires students to be able to retain knowledge, to apply information to new contexts, and to self-assess their understanding of concepts. These core competencies strengthen students' critical thinking and metacognitive skills which, in turn, enhances their ability to identify knowledge gaps and strategies to support future learning. Retrieval practice and feedback-driven metacognition are evidence-based teaching strategies that have been demonstrated to enhance knowledge retention and metacognition in a range of academic disciplines and levels of education, although their implementation and impact on learning in undergraduate immunology remain largely unexplored.

Strategic implementation of a new robotic mitral repair program: Early experience and outcomes.

J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg

Article Synopsis
  • The report discusses the low adoption of robotic mitral repair procedures and outlines the authors' early experiences in successfully launching such a program.
  • The strategy involved educating the team, hands-on practice, gradual progression, and careful patient selection, along with regular analysis and feedback.
  • Results showed that from March 2022 to February 2024, 50 patients underwent the procedure with a 98% success rate, no deaths, and minimal issues post-surgery, suggesting that the outlined approach is effective for similar programs.
