Published: November 2021

A new study combines electrophysiology, optogenetics, and behavior to investigate a decision-making circuit in the fly brain, revealing all the major features predicted by drift-diffusion models. Strikingly, much of this computation takes place subthreshold, independent of action potentials.

Department of Nuclear Medicine, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Guoxue Alley, Address: No.37, Chengdu City, Sichuan, 610041, China.

Background: This study aimed to construct a radiomics-based imaging biomarker for the non-invasive identification of transformed follicular lymphoma (t-FL) using PET/CT images.

Methods: A total of 784 follicular lymphoma (FL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and t-FL patients from 5 independent medical centers were included. The unsupervised EMFusion method was applied to fuse PET and CT images.

Background: Currently, most studies only focus on the glucose management level and self- management behavior of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus, but lack analysis and discussion on their decision-making behavior and influencing factors during glucose management.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the decision-making behavior of blood glucose management and its influencing factors among pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus in China.

Methods: This was a prospective study.

End-to-End Deep Learning Prediction of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Response in Osteosarcoma Patients Using Routine MRI.

J Imaging Inform Med

January 2025

Department of Radiology, Peking University People's Hospital, 11 Xizhimen Nandajie, Xicheng District, Beijing, 100044, P. R. China.

This study aims to develop an end-to-end deep learning (DL) model to predict neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) response in osteosarcoma (OS) patients using routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We retrospectively analyzed data from 112 patients with histologically confirmed OS who underwent NACT prior to surgery. Multi-sequence MRI data (including T2-weighted and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images) and physician annotations were utilized to construct an end-to-end DL model.
