Abstract: Methods for objective and precise assessment, risk prediction, monitoring of disease course and response to treatment, and precise matching to existing, and to new method of use repurposed drugs, in mood disorders, such as for patients with depression or bipolar disorder. These methods are based on an objective analysis of specific biomarker panels, as well as on the integration of the biomarker panel data with clinical measures of mood, life satisfaction, psycho-socio-demographic risk factors, and clinical history severity. These methods provide a foundation for precision medicine for mood disorders.

Abstract: A method for phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (PC-MRI) acquires undersampled PC-MRI data using a magnetic resonance imaging scanner and reconstructs MRI images from the undersampled PC-MRI data by reconstructing a first flow-encoded image using a first convolutional neural network, reconstructing a complex difference image using a second convolutional neural network, combining the complex difference image and the first flow-encoded image to obtain a second flow-encoded image, and generating a velocity encoded image from the first flow-encoded image and second flow-encoded image using phase difference processing.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for selective targeting of live cells, which have undergone or are undergoing radiation or chemotherapy, at a site of interest with a cell-penetrating polypeptide. In one embodiment of the invention, the method comprises contacting the live cells with a cell-penetrating polypeptide comprising cell-penetrating determinants so that the cell-penetrating polypeptide binds extracellular DNA near or around the live cells so as to form a complex or association therewith such that the complex or associated polypeptide-DNA so bound bind the live cells and penetrates the live cells thereby selectively targeting live cells at a site of interest with a cell-penetrating polypeptide.

Abstract: A method is described for providing deficit-adjusted adaptive assistance during movement phases of an impaired ankle. The method includes determining, on the processor, a value for a deficit parameter for each movement phase of a compound ankle function based on a difference between a parameter trace for a normal subject and the parameter trace for an impaired subject. The method further includes determining, on the processor, an adaptive magnitude for the robot-applied torque based on the value for the deficit parameter. The method further includes applying, to the robot joint, the adaptive magnitude for the robot-applied torque in only a first plane for the current movement phase, based on an adaptive timing. An apparatus is also described for providing deficit-adjusted adaptive assistance during movement phases of the impaired ankle.

Abstract: Tissue scaffolds for neural tissue growth have a plurality of microchannels disposed within a sheath. Each microchannel comprises a porous wall having a thickness of ≤about 100 μm that is formed from a biocompatible and biodegradable material comprising a polyester polymer. The polyester polymer may be polycaprolactone, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) polymer, and combinations thereof. The tissue scaffolds have high open volume % enabling superior (linear and high fidelity) neural tissue growth, while minimizing inflammation near the site of implantation in vivo. In other aspects, methods of making such tissue scaffolds are provided. Such a method may include mixing a reduced particle size porogen with a polymeric precursor solution. The material is cast onto a template and then can be processed, including assembly in a sheath and removal of the porogen, to form a tissue scaffold having a plurality of porous microchannels.

Abstract: An instrumented trail-making task (iTMT) platform includes a wearable sensor and interactive interface technology configured to identify cognitive-cognitive impairment in individuals such as older adults. The iTMT platform may be programmed with neuropsychological tests for assessing individuals. The iTMT may provide information on visual search, scanning, speed of processing, mental flexibility, and/or executive functions as well as physical biomarkers of motor performance including slowness, weakness, exclusion, and/or motor planning error. Results of tests administered by the iTMT system may be reported to a patient or caregiver and used in identifying cognitive-motor impairment among individuals suffering from cognitive impairment, dementia, and/or those with frailty status, and/or cognitive frailty, and/or high risk of falling, and/or high likelihood of decline in cognitive-motor over time.
