Traumatic brain injury (TBI), resulting from external forces, is a leading cause of disability and death, often leading to cognitive deficits that affect attention, concentration, speech and language, learning and memory, reasoning, planning, and problem-solving. Given the diverse mechanisms underlying TBI symptoms, it is essential to characterize its neurophysiological and neuropsychological effects. To address this, we employed weighted coherence (WC) analysis in patients performing the Halstead-Reitan categorization task, alongside a control group of eight healthy individuals. Our findings indicate a significant decrease in WC within the theta and delta bands in the temporal regions during cognitive tasks in the TBI group compared to controls. Additionally, we observed a significant increase in WC in the beta and gamma bands in the parietal region during both rest and cognitive tasks in the TBI group, relative to the control group. Furthermore, there was a strong correlation between WC and task performance scores in the temporal regions.

Missing pixel imputation is a critical task in image processing, where the presence of high percentages of missing pixels can significantly degrade the performance of downstream tasks such as image segmentation and object detection. This paper introduces a novel approach for missing pixel imputation based on Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). We propose a new GAN architecture incorporating an identity module and a sperm motility-inspired heuristic during filtration to optimize the selection of pixels used in reconstructing missing data.

Retinal vessel segmentation is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring ophthalmic and systemic diseases. Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) enables detailed imaging of the retinal microvasculature, but existing methods for OCTA segmentation face significant limitations, such as susceptibility to noise, difficulty in handling class imbalance, and challenges in accurately segmenting complex vascular morphologies. In this study, we propose VDMNet, a novel segmentation network designed to overcome these challenges by integrating several advanced components.

Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a condition where the pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid in the brain increases without a known cause. It typically affects adults but can also occur in adolescents and children, although it is less common. Numerous elements, including coagulopathy, have been documented in previous cases as potential etiological factors of IIH.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) offers high-resolution images of the eye's fundus. This enables thorough analysis of retinal health by doctors, providing a solid basis for diagnosis and treatment. With the development of deep learning, deep learning-based methods are becoming more popular for fundus OCT image segmentation.
