Headache is among the most frequently reported symptoms after resolution of COVID-19. We assessed structural brain changes using T1- and diffusion-weighted MRI processed data from 167 subjects: 40 patients who recovered from COVID-19 but suffered from persistent headache without prior history of headache (COV), 41 healthy controls, 43 patients with episodic migraine and 43 patients with chronic migraine. To evaluate gray matter and white matter changes, morphometry parameters and diffusion tensor imaging-based measures were employed, respectively. COV patients showed significant lower cortical gray matter volume and cortical thickness than healthy subjects (p\thinspace\<\thinspace0.05, false discovery rate corrected) in the inferior frontal and the fusiform cortex. Lower fractional anisotropy and higher radial diffusivity (p\thinspace\<\thinspace0.05, family-wise error corrected) were observed in COV patients compared to controls, mainly in the corpus callosum and left hemisphere. COV patients showed higher cortical volume and thickness than migraine patients in the cingulate and frontal gyri, paracentral lobule and superior temporal sulcus, lower volume in subcortical regions and lower curvature in the precuneus and cuneus. Lower diffusion metric values in COV patients compared to migraine were identified prominently in the right hemisphere. COV patients present diverse changes in the white matter and gray matter structure. White matter changes seem to be associated with impairment of fiber bundles. Besides, the gray matter changes and other white matter modifications such as axonal integrity loss seemed subtle and less pronounced than those detected in migraine, showing that persistent headache after COVID-19 resolution could be an intermediate state between normality and migraine.

A super-resolution approach was used to create 2mm isotropic diffusion tensor images (DTI) from diffusion-weighted imaging data acquired on a low field, portable system. Mean diffusivity, fractional anisotropy and principal eigenvector orientation maps are shown. This work extends the very recently implemented capability of performing DTI on a 64mT system, and shows substantial improvement due to the increased through-plane resolution achieved with super-resolution.

Introduction: Recent studies support the identification of valid subtypes within schizophrenia and bipolar disorder using cluster analysis. Our aim was to identify meaningful biotypes of psychosis based on network properties of the electroencephalogram. We hypothesized that these parameters would be more altered in a subgroup of patients also characterized by more severe deficits in other clinical, cognitive, and biological measurements.

Methods: A clustering analysis was performed using the electroencephalogram-based network parameters derived from graph-theory obtained during a P300 task of 137 schizophrenia (of them, 35 first episodes) and 46 bipolar patients. Both prestimulus and modulation of the electroencephalogram were included in the analysis. Demographic, clinical, cognitive, structural cerebral data, and the modulation of the spectral entropy of the electroencephalogram were compared between clusters. Data from 158 healthy controls were included for further comparisons.

Results: We identified two clusters of patients. One cluster presented higher prestimulus connectivity strength, clustering coefficient, path-length, and lower small-world index compared to controls. The modulation of clustering coefficient and path-length parameters was smaller in the former cluster, which also showed an altered structural connectivity network and a widespread cortical thinning. The other cluster of patients did not show significant differences with controls in the functional network properties. No significant differences were found between patients{\textasciiacute} clusters in first episodes and bipolar proportions, symptoms scores, cognitive performance, or spectral entropy modulation.

Conclusion: These data support the existence of a subgroup within psychosis with altered global properties of functional and structural connectivity.

OBJECTIVE:

To identify possible structural connectivity alterations in patients with episodic and chronic migraine using magnetic resonance imaging data.

METHODS:

Fifty-four episodic migraine, 56 chronic migraine patients and 50 controls underwent T1-weighted and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging acquisitions. Number of streamlines (trajectories of estimated fiber-tracts), mean fractional anisotropy, axial diffusivity and radial diffusivity were the connectome measures. Correlation analysis between connectome measures and duration and frequency of migraine was performed.

RESULTS:

Higher and lower number of streamlines were found in connections involving regions like the superior frontal gyrus when comparing episodic and chronic migraineurs with controls (p \< .05 false discovery rate). Between the left caudal anterior cingulate and right superior frontal gyri, more streamlines were found in chronic compared to episodic migraine. Higher and lower fractional anisotropy, axial diffusivity, and radial diffusivity were found between migraine groups and controls in connections involving regions like the hippocampus. Lower radial diffusivity and axial diffusivity were found in chronic compared to episodic migraine in connections involving regions like the putamen. In chronic migraine, duration of migraine was positively correlated with fractional anisotropy and axial diffusivity.

CONCLUSIONS:

Structural strengthening of connections involving subcortical regions associated with pain processing and weakening in connections involving cortical regions associated with hyperexcitability may coexist in migraine

The fast marching method is widely employed in several fields of image processing. Some years ago a multi-stencil version (MSFM) was introduced to improve its accuracy by solving the equation for a set of stencils and choosing the best solution at each considered node. The following work proposes a modified numerical scheme for MSFM to take into account the variation of the local cost, which has proven to be second order. The influence of the stencil set choice on the algorithm outcome with respect to stencil orthogonality and axis swapping is also explored, where stencils are taken from neighborhoods of varying radius. The experimental results show that the proposed schemes improve the accuracy of their original counterparts, and that the use of permutation-invariant stencil sets provides robustness against shifted vector coordinates in the stencil set.

Purpose: To analyze the impact on image quality and motion fidelity of a motion-weighted space-time variant regularization term in compressed sensing cardiac cine MRI.
Methods: k-t SPARSE-SENSE with temporal total variation (tTV) is used as the base reconstruction algorithm. Motion in the dynamic image is estimated by means of a robust registration technique for non-rigid motion. The resulting deformation fields are used to leverage the regularization term. The results are compared with standard k-t SPARSE-SENSE with tTV regularization as well as with an improved version of this algorithm that makes use of tTV and temporal Fast Fourier Transform regularization in x-f domain.
Results: The proposed method with space-time variant regularization provides higher motion fidelity and image quality than the two previously reported methods. Difference images between undersampled reconstruction and fully sampled reference images show less systematic errors with the proposed approach.
Conclusions: Usage of a space-time variant regularization offers reconstructions with better image quality than the state of the art approaches used for comparison.

Strain and related tensors play a major role in cardiac function\ characterization, so correct estimation of the local phase\ in tagged images is crucial for quantitative myocardial motion\ studies. We propose an Harmonic Phase related procedure\ that is adaptive in the spatial and the spectral domains: as for\ the former, we use an angled-steered analysis window prior to\ the Fourier Transform; as for the latter, the bandpass filter is\ also angle-adaptive. Both of them are narrow in the modulation\ direction and wide in the orthogonal direction.

Moreover,\ no parameters are manually set since their values are partially\ based on the information available at the DICOM headers and\ additional information is estimated from data. The procedure
is tested in terms of accuracy (on synthetic data) and reproducibility\ (on real data) of the deformation gradient tensor,\ measured by means of the distribution of the Frobenius norm\ differences between two tensor datasets.

We are all well aware that the importance of the sunflower (Helianthus Annus) as a crop has increased significantly in recent years, not only in the food industry but also as a natural energy resource in oil production. I am, thus, very pleased to be able to present this comprehensive monograph on a wide range of important issues regarding sunflowers, with an emphasis on environmental influences, pests and diseases in order to maximise production whilst minimising costs.

Contributors where selected based on their proven experience in the field of sunflowers. Contributors submitted an extended abstract that was assessed for relevance. They were then invited to contribute draft chapters. Each chapter underwent a stringent and thorough peer review process by other experts in the field, with final approval by the editor who, thus, was able to balance the topics from all contributors.

The book contains important original results. Each chapter deals with a different topic, and draws, where appropriate, from studies and results previously published by the authors. Authors were encouraged to complement their writing with original and high quality graphs, charts, tables, figures, pictures and photographs.

It{\textquoteright}s my honour and pleasure to acknowledge the rigorous work carried out by all authors in this book, and at the same time I am very grateful to them for trusting me in leading this project in the role of the editor of their work. My thanks also go to the anonymous reviewers who contributed their time so generously to this book, and without whom it would not exist.

I am also very grateful to Nova Science Pubs. for inviting me to lead this book, and thank them for the help and coverage provided during the whole time that this project lasted.

I really do hope that you find this book of interest and wish you enjoy its reading as much as I have done through the whole editing process and as much I am sure all authors have done while writing it.

An automatic classification system into either malignant or benign microcalcification from mammograms is a helpful tool in breast cancer diagnosis. From a set of extracted features, a classifying method using neural networks can provide a probability estimation that can help the radiologist in his diagnosis. With this objective in mind, this paper proposes a feature selection algorithm from a massive number of features based on a statistical distance method in conjunction with a genetic algorithm (GA). The use of a statistical distance as optimality criterion was improved with genetic algorithms for selecting an appropriate subset of features, thus making this algorithm capable of performing feature selection from a massive set of initial features. Additionally, it provides a criterion to select an appropriate number of features to be employed. Experimental work was performed using Generalized Softmax Perceptrons (GSP), trained with a Strict Sense Bayesian cost function for direct probability estimation, as microcalcification classifiers. A Posterior Probability Model Selection (PPMS) algorithm was employed to determine the network complexity. Results showed that this algorithm converges into a subset of features which has a good classification rate and Area Under Curve (AUC) of the Receiver Operating Curve (ROC). {\^A}{\textcopyright} Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
