Pascual and Caielli had described mitochondrial dysfunction in two types of immune cells, neutrophils and CD4 T cells, in children with SLE.

Key Points: 
  • Pascual and Caielli had described mitochondrial dysfunction in two types of immune cells, neutrophils and CD4 T cells, in children with SLE.
  • However, it was not known if mitochondrial dysfunction in other cells circulating in the blood contributes to SLE development or its progression.

  • "Non-invasive MRI may be used as a complement, or in some cases, as an alternative to histopathologic examination," he said.
  • The researchers evaluated the performance of the model using data from both the internal and external MRI scans.
  • "These results suggest that deep learning is a promising approach for automated classification and evaluation of brain tumors," Chakrabarty said.

Based on a range of optimistic, pessimistic, and baseline scenarios for the period up to April 2022, the CIAs model indicates that a fourth wave is likely unless the province nears 90% full vaccination of the total population.

Key Points: 
  • Based on a range of optimistic, pessimistic, and baseline scenarios for the period up to April 2022, the CIAs model indicates that a fourth wave is likely unless the province nears 90% full vaccination of the total population.

  • There are good reasons to be optimistic, says Garett Klus, FCIA, member of the CIA Pandemic Modelling Project Team.
  • The CIA Pandemic Modelling Project Team authors are Spencer Bateman, Luis Dizon, Garett Klus, Jacques Leduc, Brad Lee, Tommy Nguyen, and Jake Seok.
