A novel “lateral approach short axis in-plane” technique vs. conventional “short-axis out-of-plane approach” for ultrasound-guided internal jugular vein access: a prospective rando... by Michal Kalina, Patricia Vargová, Adéla Bubeníková, Roman Škulec, Vladimír Černý, David Astapenko

“…Traditional techniques pose several disadvantages, such as suboptimal needle visualization. Therefore, this non-inferiority trial aimed to describe the novel approach and compare the novel lateral in-plane short-axis approach for IJV access with the conventional short-axis out-of-plane approach. …”

Enhancing Image-Based JPEG Compression: ML-Driven Quantization via DCT Feature Clustering by Shahrzad Sabzavi, Reza Ghaderi

“…JPEG compression is a widely used technique for reducing the file size of digital images, but it often compromises visual quality. The purpose of this research is to explore a novel approach that combines machine learning, discrete cosine transform (DCT) feature clustering, and genetic algorithms to customize image compression methods. …”

Mutational Profile and Retinal Phenotypes of PCARE-Related Cone-Rod Dystrophies in a Mexican Cohort by Víctor R. López-Rodríguez, Rocío Arce-González, Alan Martínez-Aguilar, Carlos E. Rodríguez-López, Sergio Groman-Lupa, M. Isabel Neria-González, Genaro Rodríguez-Uribe, Juan C. Zenteno

“…The study included 14 patients from 11 unrelated pedigrees with retinal dystrophies who were demonstrated to carry biallelic pathogenic variants in PCARE. Visual assessment methods included best corrected visual acuity, color fundus photography, Goldmann visual field test, kinetic perimetry, dark/light adapted chromatic perimetry, full-field electroretinography, autofluorescence imaging, and spectral domain-optical coherence tomography imaging. …”

The Role of GABAergic Inhibition in Ocular Dominance Plasticity by J. Alexander Heimel, Daniëlle van Versendaal, Christiaan N. Levelt

“…During the last decade, we have gained much insight into the mechanisms that open and close a sensitive period of plasticity in the visual cortex. This brings the hope that novel treatments can be developed for brain injuries requiring renewed plasticity potential and neurodevelopmental brain disorders caused by defective synaptic plasticity. …”
