The lack of a standardized preprocessing pipeline is a significant source of variability that might lower the reproducibility of studies, especially across sites and with incomplete description of the preprocessing workflows. We evaluate the downstream impact of variability in preprocessing workflow by quantifying the reproducibility and variability of region-of-interest (ROI) analyses. While many pipelines achieve excellent reproducibility in most ROI, we observed a large variability in performance of preprocessing workflows to the extent that some pipelines are detrimental to the data quality and reproducibility.

We investigate whether removing the contribution of the free water component from the diffusion-signal can provide increased sensitivity to identify white matter changes in migraine using diffusion tensor metrics.

The study aims to determine whether the use of artificial intelligence (AI) methods in medical images may result in the loss of critical clinical information and/or the appearance of false information. To assess this, the focus was on the angular resolution of dMRI and a clinical trial was conducted on migraine, specifically between episodic and chronic migraine patients. The number of gradient directions had an impact on white matter analysis results, with statistically significant differences between groups being drastically reduced when using 21 gradient directions instead of the original 61. Fourteen teams from different institutions were tasked to use DL to enhance three diffusion metrics (FA, AD and MD) calculated from data acquired with 21 gradient directions and a b-value of 1000 s/mm2. The goal was to produce results that were comparable to those calculated from 61 gradient directions. The results were evaluated using both standard image quality metrics and Tract-Based Spatial Statistics (TBSS) to compare episodic and chronic migraine patients. The study results suggest that while most DL techniques improved the ability to detect statistical differences between groups, they also led to an increase in false positive. The results showed that there was a constant growth rate of false positives linearly proportional to the new true positives, which highlights the risk of generalization of AI-based tasks when assessing diverse clinical cohorts and training using data from a single group. The methods also showed divergent performance when replicating the original distribution of the data and some exhibited significant bias. In conclusion, extreme caution should be exercised when using AI methods for harmonization or synthesis in clinical studies when processing heterogeneous data in clinical studies, as important information may be altered, even when global metrics such as structural similarity or peak signal-to-noise ratio appear to suggest otherwise.

The Pearson{\textquoteright}s correlation coefficients between IPASE scores and intrahemispheric connectivity of the parahippocampal gyrus with the isthmus cingulate cortex in both hemispheres, and right parahippocampal gyrus with the right rostral anterior cingulate cortex were positive and significant suggesting a relation between hyperactive functional connectivity and anomalous self-experiences intensity. Prior literature reported these areas to have a role in self-processing and consciousness as well as being anatomically connected. Further research with larger sample size and comparison with controls are needed to confirm the relationship of this connectivity with anomalous self-experiences.

We aimed to analyze the demographic characteristics of pain related to cardiac surgery, assessed using static algometry.
Methods: Adult patients consecutively undergoing cardiac surgery were prospectively recruited. Pressure pain thresholds (PPT) were measured in both sides of sternum manubrium, body (five measures) and xiphoid process, preoperatively and on days 1, 3 and 7 postoperatively. Linear mixed-effects models were employed to assess the longitudinal changes and results were corrected for multiple comparisons following a false discovery rate procedure.
Results: We included 70 patients (41.4\% female) with a median age of 67.5 years (range 26-85). Regarding the baseline values, PPT were significantly lower in women and patients older than 65 years. After the surgery, there was a significant reduction of PPT in all assessed regions, which was partially compensated after seven days. Moreover, postoperatively, differences associated with age disappeared and those associated with sex were almost negligible. These differences related to age and sex increased after seven days of surgery, but this difference was lower in comparison with the baseline situation (Table 1, Figure 1). Postoperative pain perception was significantly higher (lower PPT) in both sexes.
Conclusion: Pain related to cardiac surgery can be measured with algometry, mainly during first postoperative days. Differences in pain sensitivity related to age and sex decrease after surgery.

The objective was to analyze these effects on romantic relationship, relationship with their children, friendship and work; as well as to evaluate caregiver burden and the presence of anxiety and/or depression.
Methods: Cross-sectional observational study. An online survey was filled by partners of migraine patients from five Spanish Headache Units. Questions about the four assessed areas and two scales to evaluate anxiety, depression and caregiver burden (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and Zarit scale) were included. The presence of anxiety and depression was compared to the Spanish prevalence (6.7\% in both cases).
Results: Out of 176 registered responses, 155 were accepted. The sample included 86.5\% of women, with mean age 44.2 +- 10.4 years. Effects on partners were found on love relationship and items concerning children and friendships, with a minor impact at work. Partners showed a significant moderate burden according to the Zarit scale (p = 12/155 = 0.077 [0.041-0.131]; p \< 0.001) and a higher anxiety rate than the 6.7\% national prevalence (p = 23/155 = 0.148 [0.096-0.214]; p \< 0.001), but similar depression rate.
Conclusion: We found an impact on the patient{\textquoteright}s partners on the studied areas. Migraine is a disease that implies caregiver burden in the patient{\textquoteright}s environment with possible effect on anxiety levels.
Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder include patients with different characteristics, which may hamper the definition of biomarkers. One of the dimensions with greater heterogeneity among these patients is cognition. Recent studies support the identification of different patients{\textquoteright} subgroups along the cognitive domain using cluster analysis. Our aim was to validate clusters defined on the basis of patients{\textquoteright} cognitive status and to assess its relation with demographic, clinical and biological measurements. We hypothesized that subgroups characterized by different cognitive profiles would show differences in an array of biological data. Cognitive data from 198 patients (127 with chronic schizophrenia, 42 first episodes of schizophrenia and 29 bipolar patients) were analyzed by a K-means cluster approach and were compared on several clinical and biological variables. We also included 155 healthy controls for further comparisons. A two-cluster solution was selected, including a severely impaired group and a moderately impaired group. The severely impaired group was associated with higher illness duration and symptoms scores, lower thalamus and hippocampus volume, lower frontal connectivity and basal hypersynchrony in comparison to controls and the moderately impaired group. Moreover, both patients{\textquoteright} groups showed lower cortical thickness and smaller functional connectivity modulation than healthy controls. This study supports the existence of different cognitive subgroups within the psychoses with different neurobiological underpinnings.

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.

We propose a new general supervised neural network algorithm, Joint Network and Data Density Estimation (JNDDE), that employs PLE to approximate conditional probability density functions for multi-class classification problems. The logistic regression analysis is generalized to multiple class problems with softmax regression neural network used to model the a-posteriori probabilities such that they are approximated by the network outputs. Constraints to the network architecture, as well as to the model of data, are imposed, resulting in both a flexible network architecture and distribution modeling. We consider application of JNDDE to channel equalization and present simulation results.

It is based on the estimation of the conditional data density functions, with some restrictions imposed by the classifier structure; the Bayes{\textquoteright} rule is used to obtain the {\textquoteright}a posteriori{\textquoteright} probabilities from these densities. The proposed method is applied to three different network structures: the logistic perceptron (for the binary case), the softmax perceptron (for multi-class problems) and a generalized softmax perceptron (that can be used to map arbitrarily complex probability functions). Gaussian mixture models are used for the conditional densities. The method has the advantage of establishing a distinction between the network parameters and the model parameters. Complexity on any of them can be fixed as desired. Maximum Likelihood gradient-based rules for the estimation of the parameters can be obtained. It is shown that JNDDE exhibits a more robust convergence characteristics than other methods of a posteriori probability estimation, such as those based on the minimization of a Strict Sense Bayesian (SSB) cost function.

It is based on the estimation of conditional density functions for each class with some restrictions or constraints imposed by the classifier structure and the use Bayes rule to force the a posteriori probabilities at the output of the network, known here as a implicit set. The method is applied to train perceptrons by means of Gaussian mixture inputs, as a particular example for the Generalized Softmax Perceptron (GSP) network. The method has the advantage of providing a clear distinction between the network architecture and the model of the data constraints, giving network parameters or weights on one side and data over parameters on the other. MLE stochastic gradient based rules are obtained for JNDDE. This algorithm can be applied to hybrid labeled and unlabeled learning in a natural fashion.
