BACKGROUND The counting of leukocytes and erythrocytes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is still performed microscopically, e.g., using a chamber in most laboratories. This requires sufficient practical experience, is time-consuming, and may constitute a problem in emergency diagnostics. Specific automated systems for CSF cell counting are not available at present. METHODS We tested the hematolog...

In this paper, we propose a simple and effective way to improve one-look regression models for object counting from images. We use class activation map visualizations to illustrate the drawbacks of learning a pure one-look regression model for a counting task. Based on these insights, we enhance one-look regression counting models by regulating activation maps from the final convolution layer o...

We address the problem of counting cells in time-lapse microscopy images of developing human embryos. Cell counting is considered as an important step in analyzing biological phenomenon such as embryo viability. Traditional approaches to counting cells rely on hand crafted features and cannot fully take advantage of the growth in data set sizes. In this paper, we propose a framework to automati...

Herein we report a method supported by a two-level Naive Bayes classifier to help and improve the automatic detection and counting of cells overexpressing GFP-chimeric proteins. This toll is frequently used as a reporter for the localization and the distribution pattern of a protein in a cell. This approximation requires, besides confocal microscopy, the participation of a qualified and blind c...

Oblique back-illumination capillaroscopy has recently been introduced as an efficient method for non-invasive blood cell imaging in human capillaries. To apply this technique to clinical counting, solutions automatic processing of acquired videos are needed. Here, we take the first step towards goal, by introducing a novel deep learning multi-cell tracking model, named CycleTrack, which achieve...

introduction: preliminary studies have con.rmed reduction in cell death following treatment with antioxidants. according to this .nding we study the relationship between consumption of coq10 and expression of bax and bcl2 in hippocampus following ischemia/reperfusion as proteins involved in cell programmed death or apoptosis. methods: we studied the protective role of coq10 against ischemia-rep...
