Complications and outcomes of hospitalizations for patients with and without Parkinson disease

ObjectiveTo examine complications and outcomes of hospitalizations for common indications for hospitalization among patients with Parkinson disease (PD).MethodsWe identified and selected the ten most common indications for hospitalization among individuals ≥65 years of age using principal diagnoses from the California State Inpatient Database, 2018–2020. Patients with comorbid PD were identified using secondary diagnosis codes and matched […]

Factorized discriminant analysis for genetic signatures of neuronal phenotypes

Navigating the complex landscape of single-cell transcriptomic data presents significant challenges. Central to this challenge is the identification of a meaningful representation of high-dimensional gene expression patterns that sheds light on the structural and functional properties of cell types. Pursuing model interpretability and computational simplicity, we often look for a linear transformation of the original […]

A modelling study to dissect the potential role of voltage-gated ion channels in activity-dependent conduction velocity changes as identified in small fiber neuropathy patients

ObjectivePatients with small fiber neuropathy (SFN) suffer from neuropathic pain, which is still a therapeutic problem. Changed activation patterns of mechano-insensitive peripheral nerve fibers (CMi) could cause neuropathic pain. However, there is sparse knowledge about mechanisms leading to CMi dysfunction since it is difficult to dissect specific molecular mechanisms in humans. We used an in-silico […]
