    Abstract Organised data is easy to use but the rapid developments in the field of bioimaging, with improvements in instrumentation, detectors, software and experimental techniques, have resulted in an explosion of the volumes of data being generated, making well-organised data an elusive goal. This guide offers a handful of recommendations for bioimage depositors, analysts and microscope and software developers, whose implementation would contribute towards better organised data in preparation for archival. Based on our experience archiving large image datasets in EMPIAR, the BioImage Archive and BioStudies, we propose a number of strategies that we believe would improve the usability (clarity, orderliness, learnability, navigability, self-documentation, coherence and consistency of identifiers, accessibility, succinctness) of future data depositions more useful to the bioimaging community (data authors and analysts, researchers, clinicians, funders, collaborators, industry partners, hardware/software producers, journals, archive developers as well as interested but non-specialist users of bioimaging data). The recommendations that may also find use in other data-intensive disciplines. To facilitate the process of analysing data organisation, we present bandbox, a Python package that provides users with an assessment of their data by flagging potential issues, such as redundant directories or invalid characters in file or folder names, that should be addressed before archival. We offer these recommendations as a starting point and hope to engender more substantial conversations across and between the various data-rich communities.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the profile of pharmaceutical and multidisciplinary interventions after the implementation of the FASTHUG mnemonic in a multidisciplinary meeting of an adult intensive care unit and the presence of a clinical pharmacist in this team. Methods: Cross-sectional study, in which 225 patients were monitored, through the analysis of demographic and clinical data from electronic medical records provided by the clinical pharmacy service of the University Hospital of Western Paraná and evaluation of interventions carried out through monitoring indicators. Multidisciplinary and pharmaceutical interventions were recorded during multidisciplinary meetings and classified according to the mnemonic FASTHUG, which covers aspects such as nutrition, analgesia, sedation, thromboembolism prophylaxis, elevated headboard, stress ulcer prophylaxis and glycemic control. Results: 1078 interventions were carried out, with an average of 4.79 interventions per patient monitored. The most frequent multidisciplinary interventions were addition of necessary medication 248 (27.2%), diet optimization 145 (15.9%), analgesia optimization 128 (14%), glycemic control optimization 109 (12%), frequency of administration and suspension of unnecessary medication, both 68 (7.5%). The most common pharmaceutical interventions were optimization of administration frequency 40 (24.3%), addition of necessary medication 18 (11%), suspension of unnecessary medication 17 (10.3%) and change in dose reduction 15 (9.1%). Regarding patient outcomes, 75.1% were discharged to the ward, 24.4% died and 0.4% were transferred to another hospital. Conclusion: The implementation of the FASTHUG mnemonic in an intensive care unit provided a standardization of language among the multidisciplinary team during clinical meetings, as well as enabling the evaluation of essential points of pharmacotherapy by the clinical pharmacist.

    Abstract Public archiving in structural biology is well established with the Protein Data Bank (PDB; wwPDB.org) catering for atomic models and the Electron Microscopy Data Bank (EMDB; emdb-empiar.org) for 3D reconstructions from cryo-EM experiments. Even before the recent rapid growth in cryo-EM, there was an expressed community need for a public archive of image data from cryo-EM experiments for validation, software development, testing and training. Concomitantly, the proliferation of 3D imaging techniques for cells, tissues and organisms using volume EM (vEM) and X-ray tomography (XT) led to calls from these communities to publicly archive such data as well. EMPIAR (empiar.org) was developed as a public archive for raw cryo-EM image data and for 3D reconstructions from vEM and XT experiments and now comprises over a thousand entries totalling over 2 petabytes of data. EMPIAR resources include a deposition system, entry pages, facilities to search, visualize and download datasets, and a REST API for programmatic access to entry metadata. The success of EMPIAR also poses significant challenges for the future in dealing with the very fast growth in the volume of data and in enhancing its reusability.

    Abstract Teleost fish of the genus Danio are excellent models to study the genetic and cellular bases of pigment pattern variation in vertebrates. The two sister species Danio rerio and Danio aesculapii show divergent patterns of horizontal stripes and vertical bars that are partly caused by the divergence of the potassium channel gene kcnj13. Here, we show that kcnj13 is required only in melanophores for interactions with xanthophores and iridophores, which cause location-specific pigment cell shapes and thereby influence colour pattern and contrast in D. rerio. Cis-regulatory rather than protein coding changes underlie kcnj13 divergence between the two Danio species. Our results suggest that homotypic and heterotypic interactions between the pigment cells and their shapes diverged between species by quantitative changes in kcnj13 expression during pigment pattern diversification.

    Abstract There are two main families of G protein-coupled receptors that detect odours in humans, the odorant receptors (ORs) and the trace amine-associated receptors (TAARs). Their amino acid sequences are distinct, with the TAARs being most similar to the aminergic receptors such as those activated by adrenaline, serotonin and histamine. To elucidate the structural determinants of ligand recognition by TAARs, we have determined the cryo-EM structure of a murine receptor, mTAAR7f, coupled to the heterotrimeric G protein G

    Abstract Focal pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel technique for treating cardiac arrhythmias. It has demonstrated positive results in initial studies and has a good safety profile. In recent studies, PFA was often utilized for first-time pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and was performed under general anesthesia. In our study, we assessed the feasibility, safety, acute procedural efficacy, and efficiency of focal PFA under deep sedation in patients, 80% of whom had undergone at least one left atrial ablation previously. We treated 30 patients (71 ± 7, 46% male) using the CENTAURI system for various atrial arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation, typical and atypical atrial flutter, and focal atrial tachycardia. The average procedure and fluoroscopy times were 122 ± 43 min and 9 ± 7 min, respectively. A total of 83.33% of patients received additional line ablations beyond PVI, specifically targeting the posterior box and anterior mitral line. All ablations were successfully performed in deep sedation with only one major and one minor complication observed. The major complication was a vasospasm of the right coronary artery during ablation of the cavotricuspid isthmus, which was treated successfully with intracoronary nitroglycerin. All patients could be discharged in sinus rhythm. Moreover, adenosine appears effective in identifying dormant conduction in some patients after focal PFA. In conclusion, focal PFA is an effective approach for complex left atrial ablations under deep sedation, offering both high efficacy and efficiency with a reliable safety profile. Studies on long-term outcomes are needed.

    Abstract Imaging of pulmonary vein (PV) anatomy by angiography before pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for atrial fibrillation (AF) has long been standard practice in many centers. Nowadays, very accurate anatomical maps can be generated by the use of high-resolution mapping catheters, and very effective ablation lesions can be generated by the use of the high-power, short-duration (HPSD) technique. In our center, PV angiography was routinely performed before PVI. However, since there is no clear evidence for this, we refrained from performing PV angiography. This study aimed to investigate whether PV angiography is still necessary when using high-resolution mapping catheters after ablation in the high-power, short-duration (HPSD) technique. A total of 139 consecutive patients with atrial fibrillation (66.25 ± 11.68 years old, 62.39% male) undergoing radiofrequency PVI were included in the study. Ablation was performed with the HPSD technique using a fixed protocol for energy delivery of 50 watts (contact force 3-20 g). We observed no significant effect on the efficacy, efficiency and complications of the ablation procedure if pulmonary vein angiography was omitted before HPSD PVI. Thus, using our protocol, it may be useful that PV angiography is avoided, especially in young patients and those with chronic renal disease.

    Abstract Sensory photoreceptors enable organisms to adjust their physiology, behavior, and development in response to light, generally with spatiotemporal acuity and reversibility. These traits underlie the use of photoreceptors as genetically encoded actuators to alter by light the state and properties of heterologous organisms. Subsumed as optogenetics, pertinent approaches enable regulating diverse cellular processes, not least gene expression. Here, we controlled the widely used Tet repressor by coupling to light-oxygen-voltage (LOV) modules that either homodimerize or dissociate under blue light. Repression could thus be elevated or relieved, and consequently protein expression was modulated by light. Strikingly, the homodimeric RsLOV module from Rhodobacter sphaeroides not only dissociated under light but intrinsically reacted to temperature. The limited light responses of wild-type RsLOV at 37 °C were enhanced in two variants that exhibited closely similar photochemistry and structure. One variant improved the weak homodimerization affinity of 40 µM by two-fold and thus also bestowed light sensitivity on a receptor tyrosine kinase. Certain photoreceptors, exemplified by RsLOV, can evidently moonlight as temperature sensors which immediately bears on their application in optogenetics and biotechnology. Properly accounted for, the temperature sensitivity can be leveraged for the construction of signal-responsive cellular circuits.
