Validating a bimodal intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) catheter for atherosclerotic plaque detection in rabbits.

Biomedical optics express

Abran M, Stähli BE, Merlet N, Mihalache-Avram T, Mecteau M, Rhéaume E, Busseuil D, Tardif JC, Lesage F.
PMID: 26504648
Biomed Opt Express. 2015 Sep 14;6(10):3989-99. doi: 10.1364/BOE.6.003989. eCollection 2015 Oct 01.

Coronary artery disease is characterized by atherosclerotic plaque formation. Despite impressive advances in intravascular imaging modalities, in vivo molecular plaque characterization remains challenging, and different multimodality imaging systems have been proposed. We validated an engineered bimodal intravascular ultrasound imaging...

Complement System Part II: Role in Immunity.

Frontiers in immunology

Merle NS, Noe R, Halbwachs-Mecarelli L, Fremeaux-Bacchi V, Roumenina LT.
PMID: 26074922
Front Immunol. 2015 May 26;6:257. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2015.00257. eCollection 2015.

The complement system has been considered for a long time as a simple lytic cascade, aimed to kill bacteria infecting the host organism. Nowadays, this vision has changed and it is well accepted that complement is a complex innate...

Complement System Part I - Molecular Mechanisms of Activation and Regulation.

Frontiers in immunology

Merle NS, Church SE, Fremeaux-Bacchi V, Roumenina LT.
PMID: 26082779
Front Immunol. 2015 Jun 02;6:262. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2015.00262. eCollection 2015.

Complement is a complex innate immune surveillance system, playing a key role in defense against pathogens and in host homeostasis. The complement system is initiated by conformational changes in recognition molecular complexes upon sensing danger signals. The subsequent cascade...

A near field optical image of a gold surface: a luminescence study.

Physical chemistry chemical physics : PCCP

Merlen A, Plathier J, Ruediger A.
PMID: 25523508
Phys Chem Chem Phys. 2015 Sep 07;17(33):21176-81. doi: 10.1039/c4cp05000b.

This paper addresses recent experimental findings about luminescence of a gold tip in near-field interaction with a gold surface. Our electrochemically etched gold tips show a typical, intrinsic luminescence that we exploit to track the plasmon resonance modeled by...

Model-Based Comprehensive Analysis of School Closure Policies for Mitigating Influenza Epidemics and Pandemics.

PLoS computational biology

Fumanelli L, Ajelli M, Merler S, Ferguson NM, Cauchemez S.
PMID: 26796333
PLoS Comput Biol. 2016 Jan 21;12(1):e1004681. doi: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1004681. eCollection 2016 Jan.

School closure policies are among the non-pharmaceutical measures taken into consideration to mitigate influenza epidemics and pandemics spread. However, a systematic review of the effectiveness of alternative closure policies has yet to emerge. Here we perform a model-based analysis...

Solid acids as fuel cell electrolytes.

Nature

Haile SM, Boysen DA, Chisholm CR, Merle RB.
PMID: 11309611
Nature. 2001 Apr 19;410(6831):910-3. doi: 10.1038/35073536.

Fuel cells are attractive alternatives to combustion engines for electrical power generation because of their very high efficiencies and low pollution levels. Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells are generally considered to be the most viable approach for mobile applications....

Acoustic scattering from complex elastic shells: visualization of S0, A0 and A waves.

Ultrasonics

Derbesse L, Pernod P, Latard V, Merlen A, Decultot D, Touraine N, Maze G.
PMID: 10829790
Ultrasonics. 2000 Mar;38(1):860-3. doi: 10.1016/s0041-624x(99)00165-1.

Acoustic scattering phenomena from complex immersed elastic shells are studied by high-speed Schlieren visualization for spark-generated spherical quasi-Dirac excitations. The situations considered are air-filled cylindrical shells under normal insonification and air-filled cylindrical shells soldered at one end with a...

An accelerated procedure for recursive feature ranking on microarray data.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society

Furlanello C, Serafini M, Merler S, Jurman G.
PMID: 12850018
Neural Netw. 2003 Jun-Jul;16(5):641-8. doi: 10.1016/S0893-6080(03)00103-5.

We describe a new wrapper algorithm for fast feature ranking in classification problems. The Entropy-based Recursive Feature Elimination (E-RFE) method eliminates chunks of uninteresting features according to the entropy of the weights distribution of a SVM classifier. With specific...

Emergency Room Treatment of Migraine Headache.

Current treatment options in neurology

Diamond ML.
PMID: 12162923
Curr Treat Options Neurol. 2002 Sep;4(5):351-356. doi: 10.1007/s11940-002-0045-x.

Headache is the chief complaint in the emergency room in between 0.36% and 2.5% of patients. It is essential that the headache diagnosis be established to rule-out a potentially morbid disorder, as well as facilitate selection of appropriate interventions....

Postoperative pain scores and analgesic requirements after thyroid surgery: comparison of three intraoperative opioid regimens.
