High Density Event-related Potential Data Acquisition in Cognitive Neuroscience

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is currently the standard method of evaluating brain function in the field of Cognitive Neuroscience, in part because fMRI data acquisition and analysis techniques are readily available. Because fMRI has excellent spatial resolution but poor temporal resolution, this method can only be used to identify the spatial location of brain activity associated with a given cognitive process (and reveals virtually nothing about the time course of brain activity). By contrast, event-related potential (ERP) recording, a method that is used much less frequently than fMRI, has excellent temporal resolution and thus can track rapid temporal modulations in neural activity. Unfortunately, ERPs are under utilized in Cognitive Neuroscience because data acquisition techniques are not readily available and low density ERP recording has poor spatial resolution. In an effort to foster the increased use of ERPs in Cognitive Neuroscience, the present article details key techniques involved in high density ERP data acquisition. Critically, high density ERPs offer the promise of excellent temporal resolution and good spatial resolution (or excellent spatial resolution if coupled with fMRI), which is necessary to capture the spatial-temporal dynamics of human brain function.Download video file.^{(101M, mp4)}     

基于EMR数据挖掘的临床路径构建中EMR数据采集

在基于电子病历数据挖掘构建临床路径中,并非所有的电子病历都符合要求,也并非所有的电子病历所记录的内容都是必须的,因此,在采用基于电子病历数据挖掘技术构建临床路径过程中,需要对电子病历及电子病历中的具体内容进行筛选。文章即从该两个方面进行了探讨。     

The Use of Tumor Registry Data

The End Results Group, sponsored by the National Cancer Institute, coordinates a national cooperative program for evaluating the results of cancer therapy. Three central tumor registries (in California, Connecticut and Massachusetts) plus nine individual hospital registries (in university hospitals) are participating in the program.During the period 1940-59, there was an encouraging increase in five-year survival rates among patients with carcinomas and sarcomas (solid tumors). Preliminary data for 1955-59 suggest that the upward trend is leveling off. A smaller absolute increase in five-year survival rates occurred among patients with lymphomas and leukemia. These increases in patient survival rates coincided with more frequent use of surgical operation for solid tumors and more frequent use of chemotherapy for lymphomas and leukemia.

Fast Keyhole MR Imaging Using Optimized k-Space Data Acquisition

In some dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) applications, the sample is still, and only the signal intensity changes with time. For such cases, the keyhole imaging principle can be used. In standard keyhole imaging, a low-frequency image signal is acquired, using a limited number of phase-encoding steps, which correspond to the rectangular sampling region in the k-space center. However, such a region practically never coincides with the position of the k-space points, which carry the most relevant low-frequency image information. In this paper we propose an improved keyhole method, which allows dynamic acquisition of a low-frequency image signal from selected most relevant k-space points via fast imaging mechanisms. Dynamic data acquisition is executed in the presence of time-varying magnetic-field (MF) gradients after single sample excitation. Special care has been taken in the design of the gradient sequence to minimize gradient load. This improved keyhole imaging method has been considered theoretically and verified experimentally on a model system.     

Haemodynamic flow: symmetry and synthesis

This paper is presented as a summary and synthesis of the presentations at the conference entitled "Breaking Symmetry in Haemodynamics". As the accompanying papers will attest, there has been enormous progress in understanding the effects of fluid flow on the arterial endothelium and the consequential effects on the vessel wall. It is now clearly understood that the focal lesions found in atherosclerotic arteries are the product of asymmetrical flow and the resulting disturbed flow that occurs near arterial bifurcations and other selected points around the human vasculature. The flow in large vessels can now be determined accurately with MR and in vitro cast models. Although theory allows arterial flow to be characterized by asymmetry in time and space, our understanding of the processes that act to translate this asymmetry into pathology is becoming much more symmetric, or complete. The new frontiers of research in arterial flow are now translating to smaller scales, at the cellular level and below.     

Bradycardiac Angina: Haemodynamic Aspects and Treatment

A patient with a sinus bradycardia and angina is described who was unable to increase his heart rate on vigorous exercise by more than a few beats. His severe angina was attributed to the bradycardia. Atrial pacing of his heart abolished his angina and increased his exercise tolerance. Circulatory changes at rest, on exertion, and with atrial pacing are described. The cause of angina in this patient is discussed.     

Hormonal Contraception and the Risk of HIV Acquisition: An Individual Participant Data Meta-analysis

BackgroundObservational studies of a putative association between hormonal contraception (HC) and HIV acquisition have produced conflicting results. We conducted an individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis of studies from sub-Saharan Africa to compare the incidence of HIV infection in women using combined oral contraceptives (COCs) or the injectable progestins depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) or norethisterone enanthate (NET-EN) with women not using HC.ConclusionsThis IPD meta-analysis found no evidence that COC or NET-EN use increases women’s risk of HIV but adds to the evidence that DMPA may increase HIV risk, underscoring the need for additional safe and effective contraceptive options for women at high HIV risk. A randomized controlled trial would provide more definitive evidence about the effects of hormonal contraception, particularly DMPA, on HIV risk.
