The proposed methodology is an important step towards image-analysis
based individualization of patient management and treatment in one of the most cost-intensive fields of modern medicine. We propose to
identify and quantify retinal morphology using deep learning algorithms
such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) and to predict future
disease progression patterns and treatment response in patients based on spatio-temporal signatures.
Researchers of the Medical University of Vienna have identified highly
active synthetic chalcones derived from the chalcone scaffold. These
cytotoxic compounds were found and developed by modifying the
chalcone lead structure concurrent with in vitro tests to evaluate their
cytotoxic potential in different cancer cell lines. Compounds were
thoroughly tested regarding their efficacy in inhibiting proliferation and
viability in cancer cell lines of the hematopoietic system. The combination of the new chalcone compound with the targeting agents, Idelalisib and Ibrutinib, which are novel compounds in the treatment of hematological malignancies, displayed higher cytotoxicity on CLL cells than Idelalisib and Ibrutinib alone.
Pathological calcification processes in the human body are often the
beginning of a series of diseases which relate to organ systems such as the vascular system of the heart, and kidney. As a consequence of metabolic diseases such as diabetes, calcification processes can lead to severe impairments of health or to death. Therefore, it is of scientific and economical interest, to develop new approaches for quick and inexpensive treatments of these diseases. Already known calcification biomarkers provide an indication of occurring calcification processes but still can’t make a statement about triggering factors, which will be possible with our in vitro calcification model, CALCI-QUICK.
