Abstract

A computer program has been developed for on-line analysis of routine electronystagmography (ENG) tests. With this system, data acquisition of eye movements and stimulus signals obtained from ENG are accomplished at a rate of 200 Hz through a 12-bit analog-digital converter. A small spotlight for eye tracking tests is sinusoidally driven by a computer-generated analog signal. Six optokinetic stripes projected onto a screen are also controlled by the computer. Seven spots for saccade tests can be turned on or off based on digital signals produced through a digital output device. There are three types of eye movements in this series: nystagmus, pursuit eye movement and saccadic eye movement. An algorithm for the analysis of different eye movements is described in this paper. Recent significant advances in computer technology make it possible to perform such complicated tasks and to accomplish quantitative assessment of any type of eye movements in routine ENG tests. Consequently, computer analysis provides clues to the location of a disease and is very useful as a diagnostic tool in routine ENG testing.

Striping artifact removal in VisiumHD data through nuclear counts modeling.

MOTIVATION: 10x Genomics VisiumHD enables spatial transcriptomics at 2 µm × 2 µm resolution but exhibits slide-specific, non-periodic striping artifacts due to lane-width variability. These multiplicative row/column effects distort bin total counts and can bias downstream analyses. The state-of-the-art destriping approach is the normalization procedure used as a preprocessing step in bin2cell; it applies sequential high-quantile row- then column-wise normalization, which is asymmetric and can introduce edge effects/macro-stripes and distortions of large-scale total-count structure. RESULTS: We propose a statistical destriping approach that leverages nuclei segmentation from the co-registered H&E image. Assuming transcript abundance is constant within each nucleus, we model bin counts with a negative binomial distribution whose mean is a product of a nucleus-specific concentration and row- and column-specific stripe-factors reflecting lane-width variation. We fit all parameters in a generalized linear modeling framework with cross-validated regularization on stripe-factors and iterative dispersion estimation, and use the fitted parameters to correct the observed counts into a destriped image. On synthetic data with known ground truth, our method improves stripe-factor estimation accuracy and reduces error in corrected counts relative to bin2cell and bin2cell-derived baselines. Across four public VisiumHD slides, it consistently lowers striping intensity while substantially better preserving biological signal present in the large-scale global count structure and avoiding the artifacts introduced by other methods.

Dynamics of cell-free viral burden in HIV-1-infected patients.

Whereas previous cross-sectional studies have shown a 1-2 log increase in cell-free HIV-1 RNA viral burden associated with disease progression, recent longitudinal studies reveal a less dynamic association. We addressed this conundrum in a cohort of 17 rapid and 20 slow progressors. Initial levels of serum viral RNA from the rapid progressors were 1 log unit higher than those from the slow progressors. Serum RNA increased by >0.5 log in 10 of the rapid progressors (increase group), but the remaining seven showed a <0.5 log increase (static group). Patients whose serum RNA increased had lower amounts of serum RNA at study entry but not at follow-up compared with the static group. There was a trend toward lower CD4 counts in the static group at follow-up. These data suggest that the timing of specimen evaluation can influence interpretation of viral RNA dynamics in HIV disease.
