The program ANSURR measures the accuracy of NMR structures by comparing rigidity obtained from experimental backbone chemical shifts and from structures. We report on ANSURR analysis of 7,000 PDB NMR ensembles within the Protein Data Bank, which can be found at ansurr.com. The accuracy of NMR structures progressively improved up until 2005, but since then, it has plateaued. Most structures have accurate secondary structure, but are generally too floppy, particularly in loops. Thus, there is a need for more experimental restraints in loops. Currently, the best predictors of accuracy are Ramachandran distribution and the number of NOE restraints per residue. The precision of structures within the ensemble correlates well with accuracy, as does the number of hydrogen bond restraints per residue. Structure accuracy is improved when other components (such as additional polypeptide chains or ligands) are included.

Background And Objective: Deformable registration of multimodal brain magnetic resonance images presents significant challenges, primarily due to substantial structural variations between subjects and pronounced differences in appearance across imaging modalities.
Methods: Here, we propose to symmetrically register images from two modalities based on appearance residuals from one modality to another. Computed with simple subtraction between modalities, the appearance residuals enhance structural details and form a common representation for simplifying multimodal deformable registration.

Objective: To investigate the predictive ability of the MRI-based vertebral bone quality (VBQ) score for pedicle screw loosening following instrumented transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF).
Methods: Data from patients who have received one or two-level instrumented TLIF from February 2014 to March 2015 were retrospectively collected. Pedicle screw loosening was diagnosed when the radiolucent zone around the screw exceeded 1 mm in plain radiographs.

Psychogenic erectile dysfunction (pED) is often accompanied by abnormal brain activities. This study aimed to develop an automaticclassifier to distinguish pED from healthy controls (HCs) by identified brain-basedcharacteristics. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data were acquired from 45 pED patients and 43 HCs.
