    摘要: Evaluating viral clearance of a sample including a drug of interest is performed via modified viral surrogate nanoparticles that mimic a target live virus equivalent. The nanoparticles include fluorescent materials and a viral surface-mimicking layer that physicochemically mimics the external surface of the target live virus equivalent. One or more capsid proteins of the live virus are bound to the nanoparticle core (for non-enveloped viruses) or incorporated into a lipid bilayer (for enveloped viruses). A process solution is formed by adding the nanoparticles to the sample. The solution is subjected to purification steps to eliminate impurities, forming a product process solution. The product process solution is filtered through a dead-end flow nanofiltration membrane separator configured to bind the fluorescent nanoparticles. A load process solution is filtered as well. Baseline decomposition of the fluorescence intensity measurements from the separate membranes can, upon application of a standard curve indicate the relative nanoparticle concentration and thus the efficacy of the purification steps against the target live virus equivalent.

    摘要: In one embodiment, there is provided a dynamic multi-source image reconstruction apparatus. The apparatus includes a first reconstruction stage, a second reconstruction stage, and a refinement stage. The first reconstruction stage is configured to receive an input data set including a group of data frames. Each data frame corresponds to a respective time step. Each data frame includes a number of projection data sets. Each projection data set corresponds to a respective source-detector pair of a stationary multi-source tomography system. The first reconstruction stage is further configured to reconstruct a first intermediate image based, at least in part, on the group of data frames. The second reconstruction stage is configured to receive a selected data frame and to reconstruct a second intermediate image with a constraint of the first intermediate image as prior. The refinement stage is configured to refine the second intermediate image to produce a three-dimensional output image.

    摘要: A method of predicting bone fracture risk in a type 2 diabetes (“T2D”) patient includes: obtaining a plurality of averaged glycated hemoglobin (“HbA1c”) values for a plurality of T2D subjects over an observational period; binning the plurality of averaged HbA1c values into two predetermined categories; obtaining a plurality of total fracture incidences for the plurality of T2D subjects over a follow-up period; performing a plurality of linear regression model correlations between the binned HbA1c values and the plurality of total fracture incidences to determine a bone fracture rate prediction model; obtaining a measurement of an HbA1c value of the T2D patient; and analyzing the HbA1c value of the T2D patient with the bone fracture rate prediction model to determine the T2D patient's risk of bone fracture for a future period.

    摘要: A system for generating a high resolution (HR) computed tomography (CT) image from a low resolution (LR) CT image is described. The system includes a first generative adversarial network (GAN) and a second GAN. The first GAN includes a first generative neural network (G) configured to receive a training LR image dataset and to generate a corresponding estimated HR image dataset, and a first discriminative neural network (DY) configured to compare a training HR image dataset and the estimated HR image dataset. The second GAN includes a second generative neural network (F) configured to receive the training HR image dataset and to generate a corresponding estimated LR image dataset, and a second discriminative neural network (DX) configured to compare the training LR image dataset and the estimated LR image dataset. The system further includes an optimization module configured to determine an optimization function based, at least in part, on at least one of the estimated HR image dataset and/or the estimated LR image dataset. The optimization function contains at least one loss function. The optimization module is further configured to adjust a plurality of neural network parameters associated with at least one of the first GAN and/or the second GAN, to optimize the optimization function.

    摘要: One embodiment provides a method of training an artificial neural network (ANN) for denoising. The method includes generating, by a similarity module, a respective set of similar elements for each noisy input element of a number of noisy input elements included in a single noisy input data set. Each noisy input element includes information and noise. The method further includes generating, by a sample pair module, a plurality of training sample pairs. Each training sample pair includes a pair of selected similar elements corresponding to a respective noisy input element. The method further includes training, by a training module, an ANN using the plurality of training sample pairs. Each set of similar elements is generated prior to training the ANN. The plurality of training sample pairs is generated during training the ANN. The training is unsupervised.
