DeepBreath-automated detection of respiratory pathology from lung auscultation in 572 pediatric outpatients across 5 countries

Martin Jaggi, Mary-Anne Hartley, Juliane Dervaux, Tatjana Chavdarova, Daniel Mueller, Julien Niklas Heitmann, Daniel Hinjos García

The interpretation of lung auscultation is highly subjective and relies on non-specific nomenclature. Computer-aided analysis has the potential to better standardize and automate evaluation. We used 35.9 hours of auscultation audio from 572 pediatric outpa ...

Deep learning diagnostic and severity-stratification for interstitial lung diseases and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in digital lung auscultations and ultrasonography: clinical protocol for an observational case-control study

Mary-Anne Hartley

BackgroundInterstitial lung diseases (ILD), such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are severe, progressive pulmonary disorders with a poor prognosis. Prom ...

Cardiovascular morphometry with high-resolution 3D magnetic resonance: First application to left ventricle diastolic dysfunction

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Orestis Vardoulis, Davide Piccini

In this study, an image-based morphometry toolset quantifying geometric descriptors of the left ventricle, aorta and their coupling is applied to investigate whether morphological information can differentiate between subjects affected by diastolic dysfunc ...

Exploring the potency of normal and pathological human thymic epithelial cells

Tiphaine Mélodie Chantal Arlabosse

Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) are organised in a unique 3D network that is critical for the development of efficient and self-tolerant T-cells. We report for the first time that the human thymus of all ages, even old and involuted, contains a significant ...

In-situ photopolymerized and monitored implants: successful application to an intervertebral disc replacement

Dominique Pioletti, Christophe Moser, Andreas Schmocker, Azadeh Khoushabi

Photopolymerization is a common method to harden materials initially in a liquid state. A surgeon can directly trigger the solidification of a dental implant or a bone or tissue filler by using ultra-violet light. Traditionally, photopolymerization has bee ...

Assessment of shear stress related parameters in the carotid bifurcation using mouse-specific FSI simulations

Bram Trachet, Patrick Segers

The ApoE(-/-) mouse is a common small animal model to study atherosclerosis, an inflammatory disease of the large and medium sized arteries such as the carotid artery. It is generally accepted that the wall shear stress, induced by the blood flow, plays a ...

A brain-spine interface alleviating gait deficits after spinal cord injury in primates

Silvestro Micera, Grégoire Courtine, Jocelyne Bloch, Eduardo Martin Moraud, Quentin Barraud, Tomislav Milekovic, Marco Capogrosso, Fabien Bertrand Paul Wagner, Jérôme Gandar, Jean-Baptiste Mignardot, David Allenson Borton, Simone Ellen Joze Duis, Elodie Rey

Spinal cord injury disrupts the communication between the brain and the spinal circuits that orchestrate movement. To bypass the lesion, brain-computer interfaces(1-3) have directly linked cortical activity to electrical stimulation of muscles, and have th ...

Minimally Invasive Photopolymerization In Intervertebral Disc Tissue Cavities

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Christophe Moser, Andreas Schmocker, Azadeh Khoushabi

Photopolymerized hydrogels are commonly used for a broad range of biomedical applications. As long as the polymer volume is accessible, gels can easily be hardened using light illumination. However, in clinics, especially for minimally invasive surgery, it ...

Role of a polymorphism in a Hox/Pax-responsive enhancer in the evolution of the vertebrate spine

Denis Duboule

Patterning of the vertebrate skeleton requires the coordinated activity of Hox genes. In particular, Hox10 proteins are essential to set the transition from thoracic to lumbar vertebrae because of their rib-repressing activity. In snakes, however, the thor ...

Changes in Hox genes' structure and function during the evolution of the squamate body plan

Denis Duboule

Hox genes are central to the specification of structures along the anterior-posterior body axis, and modifications in their expression have paralleled the emergence of diversity in vertebrate body plans. Here we describe the genomic organization of Hox clu ...
