Leveraging Multimodal Fusion for Enhanced Diagnosis of Multiple Retinal Diseases in Ultra-wide OCTA
Ultra-wide optical coherence tomography angiography (UW-OCTA) is an emerging
imaging technique that offers significant advantages over traditional OCTA by
providing an exceptionally wide scanning range of up to 24 x 20 ,
covering both the anterior and posterior regions of the retina. However, the
currently accessible UW-OCTA datasets suffer from limited comprehensive
hierarchical information and corresponding disease annotations. To address this
limitation, we have curated the pioneering M3OCTA dataset, which is the first
multimodal (i.e., multilayer), multi-disease, and widest field-of-view UW-OCTA
dataset. Furthermore, the effective utilization of multi-layer ultra-wide
ocular vasculature information from UW-OCTA remains underdeveloped. To tackle
this challenge, we propose the first cross-modal fusion framework that
leverages multi-modal information for diagnosing multiple diseases. Through
extensive experiments conducted on our openly available M3OCTA dataset, we
demonstrate the effectiveness and superior performance of our method, both in
fixed and varying modalities settings. The construction of the M3OCTA dataset,
the first multimodal OCTA dataset encompassing multiple diseases, aims to
advance research in the ophthalmic image analysis community
A Series DC Arc Fault Detection Method Based on Steady Pattern of High-Frequency Electromagnetic Radiation
Genome-wide association studies reveal that members of bHLH subfamily 16 share a conserved function in regulating flag leaf angle in rice <i>(Oryza sativa)</i>
<div><p>As a major component of ideal plant architecture, leaf angle especially flag leaf angle (FLA) makes a large contribution to grain yield in rice. We utilized a worldwide germplasm collection to elucidate the genetic basis of FLA that would be helpful for molecular design breeding in rice. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified a total of 40 and 32 QTLs for FLA in Wuhan and Hainan, respectively. Eight QTLs were commonly detected in both conditions. Of these, 2 and 3 QTLs were identified in the <i>indica</i> and <i>japonica</i> subpopulations, respectively. In addition, the candidates of 5 FLA QTLs were verified by haplotype-level association analysis. These results indicate diverse genetic bases for FLA between the <i>indica</i> and <i>japonica</i> subpopulations. Three candidates, <i>OsbHLH153</i>, <i>OsbHLH173</i> and <i>OsbHLH174</i>, quickly responded to BR and IAA involved in plant architecture except for <i>OsbHLH173</i>, whose expression level was too low to be detected; their overexpression in plants increased rice leaf angle. Together with previous studies, it was concluded that all 6 members in bHLH subfamily 16 had the conserved function in regulating FLA in rice. A comparison with our previous GWAS for tiller angle (TA) showed only one QTL had pleiotropic effects on FLA and TA, which explained low similarity of the genetic basis between FLA and TA. An ideal plant architecture is expected to be efficiently developed by combining favorable alleles for FLA from <i>indica</i> with favorable alleles for TA from <i>japonica</i> by inter-subspecies hybridization.</p></div

In vivo recording in CA1 demonstrates alterations in hippocampal rhythmic oscillations and firing rates in Nf1 +/− mice. a The local field potentials (LFPs) recordings in CA1(WT mice). First trace- unfiltered LFPs, second trace- alpha oscillations (filtered 7–12 Hz). b Histograms show the averaged power spectral density of the neuronal rhythmic oscillations (alpha). Data are expressed as mean ± SEM (WT, n = 5; Nf1 +/− , n = 5). Two-way analysis of variance with repeated measures and post hoc Bonferroni tests was used to evaluate differences in local field potential power spectrum density in day and night recordings in Nf1 +/− and WT groups. ***p < 0.001.
