    Abstract Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease are the two most common neurodegenerative diseases globally. These neurodegenerative diseases have characteristic late-stage symptoms allowing for differential diagnosis; however, they both share the presence of misfolded protein aggregates which appear years before clinical manifestation. Historically, research has focused on the detection of higher-ordered aggregates (or amyloids); however, recent evidence has shown that the oligomeric state of these protein aggregates plays a greater role in disease pathology, resulting in increased efforts to detect oligomers to aid in disease diagnosis. In this review, we summarize some of the exciting new developments towards the development of fluorescent probes that can detect oligomeric aggregates of amyloidogenic proteins present in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease patients.

    Abstract Few-shot learning allows pre-trained language models to adapt to downstream tasks while using a limited number of training examples. However, practical applications are limited when all model parameters must be optimized. In this work we apply a new technique for parameter efficient few shot learning while adopting a strict definition of parameter efficiency. Our training method combines 1) intermediate training by reformulating natural language tasks as entailment tasks \cite{wang_entailment_2021} and 2) differentiable optimization of template and label tokens \cite{zhang_differentiable_2021}. We quantify the tradeoff between parameter efficiency and performance in the few-shot regime and propose a simple model agnostic approach that can be extended to any task By achieving competitive performance while only optimizing 3\% of a model's parameters and allowing for batched inference, we allow for more efficient practical deployment of models.

    Abstract Pronator syndrome (PS) is a rare type of peripheral compression neuropathy in which the median nerve becomes entrapped as it passes through the pronator teres muscle at the proximal forearm. We report an unusual case of acute PS in a 78-year-old patient on warfarin who presented after traumatic forearm injury with forearm swelling, pain, and paresthesias. After emergent nerve decompression and hematoma evacuation, the patient regained near complete recovery of median nerve function six months after diagnosis and treatment.

    Abstract We propose SDORE, a semi-supervised deep Sobolev regressor, for the nonparametric estimation of the underlying regression function and its gradient. SDORE employs deep neural networks to minimize empirical risk with gradient norm regularization, allowing computation of the gradient norm on unlabeled data. We conduct a comprehensive analysis of the convergence rates of SDORE and establish a minimax optimal rate for the regression function. Crucially, we also derive a convergence rate for the associated plug-in gradient estimator, even in the presence of significant domain shift. These theoretical findings offer valuable prior guidance for selecting regularization parameters and determining the size of the neural network, while showcasing the provable advantage of leveraging unlabeled data in semi-supervised learning. To the best of our knowledge, SDORE is the first provable neural network-based approach that simultaneously estimates the regression function and its gradient, with diverse applications including nonparametric variable selection and inverse problems. The effectiveness of SDORE is validated through an extensive range of numerical simulations and real data analysis.

    Abstract In this paper, we introduce CDII-PINNs, a computationally efficient method for solving CDII using PINNs in the framework of Tikhonov regularization. This method constructs a physics-informed loss function by merging the regularized least-squares output functional with an underlying differential equation, which describes the relationship between the conductivity and voltage. A pair of neural networks representing the conductivity and voltage, respectively, are coupled by this loss function. Then, minimizing the loss function provides a reconstruction. A rigorous theoretical guarantee is provided. We give an error analysis for CDII-PINNs and establish a convergence rate, based on prior selected neural network parameters in terms of the number of samples. The numerical simulations demonstrate that CDII-PINNs are efficient, accurate and robust to noise levels ranging from $1\%$ to $20\%$.

    Abstract Advances in diagnostic medicine have led to an increased awareness and heightened concern for the high prevalence of amyloid-associated neurodegenerative diseases, especially in the elderly. These diseases have characteristic late stage symptoms that often make it possible to distinguish one disorder from another, though methods to diagnose neurodegeneration pre-symptomatically remain a critical challenge. At the molecular level, misfolded protein aggregates known as amyloids are ubiquitously found in many neurodegenerative diseases, and have been suggested to appear before clinical symptoms manifest. Amyloids have, thus, become a valuable potential diagnostic target for chemists, and recent work by many groups have shown that they can be selectively targeted by small molecule fluorescent probes. Here, we summarize some of the exciting work currently under investigation in the area of fluorescence-based amyloid detection and highlight recent efforts to expand the utility of amyloid-targeting fluorophores as clinical tools for disease diagnostics.
