Correlative imaging of fluorescence microscopy and soft X-ray microscopy plays a crucial role in exploring the relationship between structure and function in cellular biology. However, the current correlative imaging methods are limited either to off-line or low-resolution fluorescence imaging. In this study, we developed an integrated on-line cryogenic photoactivated localization microscopy (cryo-PALM) system at a soft X-ray microscopy station. This design eliminates some critical issues such as sample damage and complex post-correlation arising from transferring samples between different cryostages. Furthermore, we successfully achieved correlative imaging of cryopreserved near-native cells, with a resolution of about 50 nm of cryo-PALM. Therefore, the developed on-line correlation imaging platform provides a powerful tool for investigating the intricate relationship between structure and function in biological and molecular interactions, as well as in other life science disciplines.

Myocyte disarray and fibrosis are underlying pathologies of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) caused by genetic mutations. However, the extent of their contributions has not been extensively evaluated. In this study, we investigated the effects of genetic mutations on myofiber function and fibrosis patterns in HCM.

Purpose: During endovascular revascularization interventions for peripheral arterial disease, the standard modality of X-ray fluoroscopy (XRF) used for image guidance is limited in visualizing distal segments of infrapopliteal vessels. To enhance visualization of arteries, an image registration technique was developed to align pre-acquired computed tomography (CT) angiography images and to create fusion images highlighting arteries of interest.
Methods: X-ray image metadata capturing the position of the X-ray gantry initializes a multiscale iterative optimization process, which uses a local-variance masked normalized cross-correlation loss to rigidly align a digitally reconstructed radiograph (DRR) of the CT dataset with the target X-ray, using the edges of the fibula and tibia as the basis for alignment.

Experiencing a traumatic event may lead to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), including symptoms such as flashbacks and hyperarousal. Individuals suffering from PTSD are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but it is unclear why. This study assesses shared genetic liability and potential causal pathways between PTSD and CVD.

Background: Left ventricular (LV) myocardial contraction patterns can be assessed using LV mechanical dispersion (LVMD), a parameter closely associated with electrical activation patterns. Despite its potential clinical significance, limited research has been conducted on LVMD following myocardial infarction (MI). This study aims to evaluate the predictive value of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived LVMD for adverse clinical outcomes and to explore its correlation with myocardial scar heterogeneity.
