In order to teach different modeling techniques we demonstrate equation-based, block-schema based, compartment and component-based modeling using acausal and object-oriented modeling language - Modelica. Hands-on implementation using all these techniques and comparing them towards same system (in our case glucose-insulin regulation) we teach pros and cons of each technique. Equation-based or block-schema based may be rapidly implemented from literature. However, compartment based or component-based models brings better understanding of modeled reality. When students have such experience, they tend to assess published papers more critically and do more complex system analysis.

Study Design: A cross-sectional analysis of 10,000 cervical spine X-rays.

Objective: This study investigates the variations in C6S and C7S across demographic factors (gender, age, cervical curvature, symptoms) and explores their correlation. Additionally, machine learning models are applied to improve the accuracy of C7S prediction.

Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) dramatically improves clinical outcomes, but the final infarct volume (FIV) on MRI only accounts for a minority of the treatment effect. An imaging biomarker that more strongly correlates with post-EVT functional outcome would be helpful for clinical prognosis and serve as a surrogate outcome measure in trials of EVT-adjuvant therapies. Here, we aimed to validate a novel MRI-based metric, infarct density, which leverages post-EVT apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) as a marker of infarct severity.

Cerebral autosomal-dominant arteriopathy, subcortical infarcts, and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is the most prevalent monogenic inherited cause of cerebral small-vessel disease. Despite its prevalence, there is currently no proven therapy to prevent or reverse the progression of the disease. This study aimed to characterize the functional integrity of long white matter tracts in CADASIL transgenic mice, both with and without focal white matter lesions in the corpus callosum added on, utilizing optical resting-state functional connectivity imaging alongside behavioral examinations.

Since treatment with anticoagulants can prevent recurrent strokes, identification of patients at risk for incident AF after stroke is crucial. We aimed to investigate whether the addition of AF polygenic risk scores (PRS) to existing clinical risk predictors could improve prediction of AF after stroke. Patients diagnosed with ischemic stroke at Massachusetts General Hospital between 2003-2017 were included.

Background: A minority of patients with stroke qualify for intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) within 4.5-hour window. The safety and efficacy of IVT beyond this period have not been well studied.
