Tolterodine is a novel candidate for assessing CYP3A4 activity through metabolic volatiles to predict drug responses by Valentina Stock, Rebecca Hofer, Franziska Lochmann, Vera Spanke, Klaus R. Liedl, Jakob Troppmair, Thierry Langer, Hubert Gstach, Christian Dank, Chris A. Mayhew, Sarah Kammerer, Veronika Ruzsanyi

“…Its activity could be determined by non-invasive and cost-effective assays, such as breath analysis, for the personalised monitoring of drug response. For the first time, we identify an isotopically unlabelled CYP3A4 substrate, tolterodine that leads to the formation of a non-toxic volatile metabolite, acetone, which could potentially be applied to monitor CYP3A4 activity in humans. …”

Deep learning based tractography with TractSeg in patients with hemispherotomy: Evaluation and refinement by Johannes Gruen, Tobias Bauer, Theodor Rüber, Thomas Schultz

“…However, to our knowledge, we are the first to document cases in which TractSeg erroneously reconstructs (“hallucinates”) tracts that are known to have been surgically disconnected, and we found cases in which it implausibly continues tracts through obvious lesions. At the same time, TractSeg failed to reconstruct or undersegmented some tracts that are known to be preserved.We subsequently propose a refinement of TractSeg which aims to improve its applicability to data with pathologies, by using its Tract Orientation Maps as an anatomical prior in low-rank tensor approximation based tractography such that tracking is guaranteed to continue only where presence of the tract is directly supported by the data (“data fidelity”). …”

“…In particular, it is important to note that SF treatments are generally less effective in eliminating fungi than insects, the required parameters of the fumigation should be met at all points of the pile of wood chips and the time of storage of wood chips before treatment should be kept as short as possible because B. xylophilus can easily reproduce and spread throughout the pile under conducive conditions.…”
