    • Diffusion Tensor Imaging in Patients with Glioblastoma Multiforme Using the Supertoroidal Model 

      Mekkaoui, Choukri; Metellus, Philippe; Kostis, William J.; Martuzzi, Roberto; Pereira, Fabricio R.; Beregi, Jean-Paul; Reese, Timothy G.; Constable, Todd R.; Jackowski, Marcel P. (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      Purpose Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is a powerful imaging technique that has led to improvements in the diagnosis and prognosis of cerebral lesions and neurosurgical guidance for tumor resection. Traditional tensor ...

    • Disease Surveillance on Complex Social Networks 

      Herrera, Jose L.; Srinivasan, Ravi; Brownstein, John S.; Galvani, Alison P.; Meyers, Lauren Ancel (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      As infectious disease surveillance systems expand to include digital, crowd-sourced, and social network data, public health agencies are gaining unprecedented access to high-resolution data and have an opportunity to ...

    • Practical Implications of the Non-Linear Relationship between the Test Positivity Rate and Malaria Incidence 

      Boyce, Ross M.; Reyes, Raquel; Matte, Michael; Ntaro, Moses; Mulogo, Edgar; Lin, Feng-Chang; Siedner, Mark J. (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      Background: The test positivity rate (TPR), defined as the number of laboratory-confirmed malaria tests per 100 suspected cases examined, is widely used by malaria surveillance programs as one of several key indicators of ...

    • Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Dexmedetomidine-Induced Electroencephalogram Oscillations 

      Akeju, Oluwaseun; Kim, Seong-Eun; Vazquez, Rafael; Rhee, James; Pavone, Kara J.; Hobbs, Lauren E.; Purdon, Patrick L.; Brown, Emery N. (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      An improved understanding of the neural correlates of altered arousal states is fundamental for precise brain state targeting in clinical settings. More specifically, electroencephalogram recordings are now increasingly ...

    • Synchronization and Random Triggering of Lymphatic Vessel Contractions 

      Baish, James W.; Kunert, Christian; Padera, Timothy P.; Munn, Lance L. (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      The lymphatic system is responsible for transporting interstitial fluid back to the bloodstream, but unlike the cardiovascular system, lacks a centralized pump-the heart–to drive flow. Instead, each collecting lymphatic ...
