    Abstract Purpose: To assess the risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) and death in patients with unreported cancer-associated incidental pulmonary embolism (iPE).
    Materials and methods: Matched cohort study on cancer patients with a CT study including the chest between 2014-01-01 and 2019-06-30. Studies were reviewed for unreported iPE, and cases were matched with controls without iPE. Cases and controls were followed for one year, with recurrent VTE and death as outcome events.
    Results: Of the included 2960 patients, 171 patients had unreported and untreated iPE. While controls had a one-year VTE risk of 8.2 events per 100 person-years, cases with a single subsegmental iPE had a recurrent VTE risk of 20.9 events, and between 52.0 and 72.0 events per 100 person-years for multiple subsegmental iPE and more proximal iPE. In multivariable analysis, multiple subsegmental and more proximal iPE were significantly associated with the risk of recurrent VTE, while single subsegmental iPE was not associated with the risk of recurrent VTE (p = 0.13). In the subgroup of patients (n = 47) with cancer not in the highest Khorana VTE risk category, no metastases and up to three involved vessels, recurrent VTE occurred in two patients (4.7 cases per 100 person-years). There were no significant associations between iPE burden and risk of death.
    Conclusion: In cancer patients with unreported iPE, iPE burden was associated with the risk of recurrent VTE. However, having a single subsegmental iPE was not associated with the risk of recurrent VTE. There were no significant associations between iPE burden and risk of death.

    Abstract Mapping a genetic perturbation to a change in phenotype is at the core of biological research. Advances in microscopy have transformed these studies, but they have largely been confined to examining a few strains or cell lines at a time. In parallel, there has been a revolution in creating synthetic libraries of genetically altered cells with relative ease. Here we describe methods that combine these powerful tools to perform live-cell imaging of pool-generated strain libraries for improved biological discovery.

    Abstract It is not known how a cell manages to find a specific DNA sequence sufficiently fast to repair a broken chromosome through homologous recombination. I propose a solution based on freely diffusing molecules that are programmed with sequences corresponding to those flanking the break site. In such a process, the target search would be parallelized.

    Abstract Reaching sub-millisecond 3D tracking of individual molecules in living cells would enable direct measurements of diffusion-limited macromolecular interactions under physiological conditions. Here, we present a 3D tracking principle that approaches the relevant regime. The method is based on the true excitation point spread function and cross-entropy minimization for position localization of moving fluorescent reporters. Tests on beads moving on a stage reaches 67 nm lateral and 109 nm axial precision with a time resolution of 0.84 ms at a photon count rate of 60 kHz; the measurements agree with the theoretical and simulated predictions. Our implementation also features a method for microsecond 3D PSF positioning and an estimator for diffusion analysis of tracking data. Finally, we successfully apply these methods to track the Trigger Factor protein in living bacterial cells. Overall, our results show that while it is possible to reach sub-millisecond live-cell single-molecule tracking, it is still hard to resolve state transitions based on diffusivity at this time scale.

    Abstract Reliable detection and classification of bacteria and other pathogens in the human body, animals, food, and water is crucial for improving and safeguarding public health. For instance, identifying the species and its antibiotic susceptibility is vital for effective bacterial infection treatment. Here we show that phase contrast time-lapse microscopy combined with deep learning is sufficient to classify four species of bacteria relevant to human health. The classification is performed on living bacteria and does not require fixation or staining, meaning that the bacterial species can be determined as the bacteria reproduce in a microfluidic device, enabling parallel determination of susceptibility to antibiotics. We assess the performance of convolutional neural networks and vision transformers, where the best model attained a class-average accuracy exceeding 98%. Our successful proof-of-principle results suggest that the methods should be challenged with data covering more species and clinically relevant isolates for future clinical use.
