Hypotension is the most frequent complication of haemodialysis. We report a case of acute visual impairment after one session of haemodialysis in a context of an acute optic neuropathy. The immunological and serological studies were negative. The records of hypotension greater than usual after the dialysis session that coincided with the visual complaints strongly suggest the dialysis-induced hypotension is the underlying mechanism of this non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.

Many artificial neural networks (ANNs) trained with ecologically plausible objectives on naturalistic data align with behavior and neural representations in biological systems. Here, we show that this alignment is a consequence of convergence onto the same representations by high-performing ANNs and by brains. We developed a method to identify stimuli that systematically vary the degree of inter-model representation agreement.

One major obstacle is that distinct pathologies may currently be diagnosed as the same disease and prescribed the same treatments. The key to developing antidepressants with ubiquitous efficacy is to first identify a strategy to differentiate between heterogeneous conditions.

Here, we describe a toolbox for controlling and efficiently generating 3D rendered objects composed of ten separate visual feature dimensions that can be fine-adjusted using python scripts. The toolbox defines objects as multi-dimensional feature vectors with primary dimensions (object body related features), secondary dimensions (head related features) and accessory dimensions (including arms, ears, or beaks).

Background: Alström syndrome (AS) is a recessively inherited genetic condition which is ultra-rare and extremely complex. Symptoms include retinal dystrophy, nystagmus, photophobia, hearing loss, obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes and cardiomyopathy. The condition is progressive, but it is important to note that not all the complications associated with AS occur in everyone affected.

Straightness is the basic measurement parameter in machining, and the traditional straightness measurement methods such as light gap method, table method, et al., have extremely low measurement efficiency and cannot achieve online real-time high-precision detection. Our research group has proposed a machine vision online detection based on 10 industrial camera arrays, which can obtain the surface profile straight line of the sucker rod by collecting the edge profile image of the sucker rod and performing morphological transformation.
