Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST): A Clinically Significant Neurological Condition.

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), a rare but deadly disorder, causes papilledema as well as a number of frequent clinical symptoms, including excruciating headaches, focal seizures, and paralysis on one or both sides of the body. In this intriguing case study, we present the clinical narrative of a 45-year-old man who sought medical attention due to severe headaches persisting for two days. Concurrently, he experienced an abrupt onset of tingling and numbness in his left upper arm.

Superpixel Embedding Network.

Superpixel segmentation is a fundamental computer vision technique that finds application in a multitude of high level computer vision tasks. Most state-of-the-art superpixel segmentation methods are unsupervised in nature and thus cannot fully utilize frequently occurring texture patterns or incorporate multiscale context. In this paper, we show that superpixel segmentation can be improved by leveraging the superior modeling power of deep convolutional autoencoders in a fully unsupervised manner.

CellECT: cell evolution capturing tool.

Background: Robust methods for the segmentation and analysis of cells in 3D time sequences (3D+t) are critical for quantitative cell biology. While many automated methods for segmentation perform very well, few generalize reliably to diverse datasets. Such automated methods could significantly benefit from at least minimal user guidance.
