Article Abstract

To improve the understanding of the complex biological process underlying the development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), 3D imaging flow cytometry (3D-IFC) with transmission and side-scattered images were used to characterize hepatic stellate cell (HSC) and liver endothelial cell (LEC) morphology at single-cell resolution. In this study, HSC and LEC were obtained from biopsy-proven NASH subjects with early-stage NASH (F2-F3) and healthy controls. Here, we applied single-cell imaging and 3D digital reconstructions of healthy and diseased cells to analyze a spatially resolved set of morphometric cellular and texture parameters that showed regression with disease progression. By developing a customized autoencoder convolutional neural network (CNN) based on label-free cell transmission and side scattering images obtained from a 3D imaging flow cytometer, we demonstrated key regulated cell types involved in the development of NASH and cell classification performance superior to conventional machine learning methods.

Application of high-resolution cone-beam computed tomography for evaluation of endothelialization after flow diverter implantation for unruptured intracranial aneurysms.

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol

September 2025

Background And Purpose: Although high-resolution cone-beam computed tomography (HR-CBCT) is used for immediate evaluation of stent apposition, studies using this technique to evaluate flow diverter (FD) endothelialization during follow-up are limited. The study aims to investigate the potential of HR-CBCT in assessing FD endothelialization and identify factors influencing poor endothelialization.

Materials And Methods: The clinical and imaging data of patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) treated by FDs from March 2019 to October 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.

Background: Intracranial solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare mesenchymal tumors often presenting with dural-based lesions. These tumors can exhibit aggressive characteristics with high recurrence rates and extracranial metastasis. While SFTs occasionally invade venous sinuses, cases where the tumor arises within the venous sinus are rare.

directional abscission of dandelion seeds.

J R Soc Interface

Seed dispersal through wind was historically considered a random process; however, plants can influence their dispersal through non-random seed detachment or abscission. Dandelion seeds facing the wind tend to abscise before those facing downwind, yet the mechanism that supports this has remained unclear. We measured the force needed for abscission in different directions and performed imaging of the detachment process.

Objective: To determine optimal CT perfusion (CTP) imaging parameters for evaluating the canine prostate and to assess the diagnostic utility of CTP combined with cytopathologic evaluation and B-Raf proto-oncogene (BRAF) gene mutation testing in dogs with prostate adenocarcinoma.

Methods: For this study, 10 male dogs were enrolled, comprising 4 healthy Beagles and 6 client-owned dogs with suspected prostatic neoplasia. Computed tomography perfusion was performed in the healthy dogs using varied contrast agent doses and injection durations.

Thalamic hyperperfusion in early schizophrenia: Associations with cognitive deficits and negative symptoms.

Schizophr Res

September 2025

UHC Sestre Milosrdnice, Department of Psychiatry, Zagreb, Croatia; Catholic University of Croatia, School of Medicine, Zagreb, Croatia.

Objective: Thalamic abnormalities have been associated with clinical and cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia, yet their role in the early stages of the disorder remain unclear. This study aimed to examine and compare thalamic perfusion differences between first-episode schizophrenia (FES) and early-course schizophrenia (ECS), along with their associations with cognitive performance and symptom severity.

Methods: This study included 100 unmedicated schizophrenia patients aged 19-30: 50 FES and 50 ECS (<5 years, ≥2 episodes).
