SUMMARY:Community Service:Season of Giving: Food Drive for Food Gatherers
DESCRIPTION:The season of giving has once again arrived in Michigan. But this one comes amid a surging pandemic\, an economic downturn\, and a looming deadline for continuation of federal financial relief.\n\nAll of these have created intense need in communities surrounding Michigan Medicine. In response\, the University of Michigan’s academic medical center will launch a third effort to encourage its own team\, and the local community\, to give food and funds to support Food Gatherers.\n\nStarting December 14\, and continuing through the 22nd\, this will include a convenient drive-up drop-off location for food and toiletries\, open to U-M faculty\, staff and students\, and members of the community in a position to give. It's located at Dock 90 of the North Campus Research Complex\, just off Huron Parkway.\n\nDonors may give online via credit card\, or get information about giving by mail or phone\, at http://www.foodgatherers.org/UM.\n\nAlready this year\, donors to Michigan Medicine’s previous two drives have contributed the equivalent of 128\,000 meals for Food Gatherers to distribute to more than 170 agencies that serve people throughout Washtenaw County and beyond. Generous individuals have also given thousands of pounds of personal care items\, from diapers to toothbrushes.\n\nThe donation drive started in March\, as part of Michigan Medicine’s effort to gather much-needed personal protective equipment during the early days of the pandemic when normal supply chains were disrupted.\n\nSince that time\, Food Gatherers’ partners have experienced a consistent surge in demand from people affected by the economic effects of the pandemic. Uncertainty over the future of federal and state relief efforts is making planning difficult.

SUMMARY:Film Screening:John Lewis: Good Trouble (SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION:REDEMPTIONS ARE SOLD OUT! For those who purchased before 12/15\, you will have access to view the film until 12/31/20.\n\nSynopsis:\nAn intimate account of legendary U.S. Representative John Lewis’ life\, legacy and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism — from the bold teenager on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement to the legislative powerhouse he was throughout his career. After Lewis petitioned Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to help integrate a segregated school in his hometown of Troy\, Alabama\, King sent “the boy from Troy” a round trip bus ticket to meet with him. From that meeting onward\, Lewis became one of King’s closest allies. He organized Freedom Rides that left him bloodied or jailed\, and stood at the front lines in the historic marches on Washington and Selma. He never lost the spirit of the “boy from Troy” and called on his fellow Americans to get into “good trouble” until his passing on July 17\, 2020.\n\n96 Minutes.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Collection Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:EXTRAORDINARY ARTISTS\, STARTLING WORKS OF ART\, PUT IN DIALOG FOR YOU TO DISCOVER \n \nCollection Ensemble presents the first major reinstallation of UMMA's iconic entry space in over a decade. It exchanges Alumni Memorial Hall's previous focus on European and American painting for a broad mix of American\, European\, African\, and Asian art from across media\, sampling the Museum's remarkable\, disparate holdings. The installation is organized into thematic and formal vignettes that respond to the concepts and ideas resonating from an extraordinary large-scale photograph of a vacant cathedral by contemporary German artist Candida Höfer. Featuring works of art by numerous famous and not-so-famous artists\, many of them artists of color and women—including Charles Alston\, Christo\, Theaster Gates\, Jenny Holzer\, Roni Horn\, Do-Ho Suh\, Kara Walker\, and others\, Collection Ensemble reimagines the collection not as a fixed entity with one set of meanings to be unearthed\, but instead as an active\, creative\, sometimes startling source of material and ideas\, open for debate and interpretation.\n \nRead the exhibition press release here.\n \nJOIN US FOR THE GRAND OPENING AT UMMA AFTER HOURS Tuesday\, April 2 7–10 p.m.\n \nGallery talks\, live music\, and more! This is a free event\, and all are welcome.\n\n

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhD Defense: Jared Scott
DESCRIPTION:NOTICE: This event will be held via Zoom. The link will be placed below.\n\nhttps://umich-health.zoom.us/j/97604985906?pwd=N1Y1UXEvNXMxdjlnVkpjUFZHQkRhdz09\n\nEpilepsy is a debilitating neurological disorder characterized by recurrent spontaneous seizures. While seizures themselves adversely affect physiological function for short time periods relative to normal brain states\, their cumulative impact can significantly decrease patient quality of life in myriad ways. For many\, anti-epileptic drugs are effective first-line therapies. One third of all patients do not respond to chemical intervention\, however\, and require invasive resective surgery to remove epileptic tissue. While this is still the most effective last-line treatment\, many patients with ‘refractory’ epilepsy still experience seizures afterward\, while some are not even surgical candidates. Thus\, a significant portion of patients lack further recourse to manage their seizures – which additionally impacts their quality of life. \n\n \n\nHigh-frequency oscillations (HFOs) are a recently discovered electrical biomarker with significant clinical potential in refractory human epilepsy. As a spatial biomarker\, HFOs occur more frequently in epileptic tissue\, and surgical removal of areas with high HFO rates can result in improved outcomes. There is also limited preliminary evidence that HFOs change prior to seizures\, though it is currently unknown if HFOs function as temporal biomarkers of epilepsy and imminent seizure onset. No such temporal biomarker has ever been identified\, though if it were to exist\, it could be exploited in online seizure prediction algorithms. If these algorithms were clinically implemented in implantable neuromodulatory devices\, improvements to quality of life for refractory epilepsy patients might be possible. Thus\, the overall aim of this work is to investigate HFOs as potential temporal biomarkers of seizures and epilepsy\, and further to determine whether their time-varying properties can be exploited in seizure prediction. \n\n \n\nIn the first study we explore population-level evidence for the existence of this temporal effect in a large clinical cohort with refractory epilepsy. Using sophisticated automated HFO detection and big-data processing techniques\, a continuous measure of HFO rates was developed to explore gradual changes in HFO rates prior to seizures\, which were analyzed in aggregate to assess their stereotypical response. These methods resulted in the identification of a subset of patients in whom HFOs from epileptic tissue gradually increased before seizures.  \n\n \n\nIn the second study\, we use machine learning techniques to investigate temporal changes in HFO rates within individuals\, and to assess their potential usefulness in patient-specific seizure prediction. Here\, we identified a subset of patients whose predictive models sufficiently differentiated the preictal (before seizure) state better than random chance. \n\n \n\nIn the third study\, we extend our prediction framework to include the signal properties of HFOs. We explore their ability to improve the identification of preictal periods\, and additionally translate their predictive models into a proof-of-concept seizure warning system. For some patients\, positive results from this demonstration show that seizure prediction using HFOs could be possible.\n\n\n\nThese studies overall provide convincing evidence that HFOs can change in measurable ways prior to seizure start. While this effect was not significant in some individuals\, for many it enabled seizures to be predicted above random chance. Due to data limitations in overall recording duration and number of seizures captured\, these findings require further validation with much larger high-density intracranial EEG datasets. Still\, they provide a preliminary framework for the eventual use of HFOs in patient-specific seizure prediction with the potential to improve the lives of those with refractory epilepsy.\n\n Chair:  Dr. William Stacey

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhD Defense: Tianrui Luo
DESCRIPTION:NOTICE: This event will be held via Zoom. The link will be placed below.\n\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/92217348735\n\nExcitation pulse design and image reconstruction are two important topics in MR research for enabling faster imaging. On the pulse design side\, selective excitations that confine signals to be within a small region-of-interest (ROI) instead of the full imaging field-of-view (FOV) can be used to reduce sampling density in the k-space\, which is a direct outcome of the change in the underlying Nyquist sampling rate. On the reconstruction side\, besides improving imaging algorithms’ ability to restore images from less data\, another objective is to reduce the reconstruction time\, particularly for dynamic imaging applications.\n\n \n\nThis dissertation focuses on these two perspectives: The first part is devoted to the excitation pulse design. Specifically\, we derived and developed a computationally efficient auto-differentiable Bloch-simulator and its explicit Bloch simulation Jacobian operations. This simulator can yield numerical derivatives with respect to pulse RF and gradient waveforms given arbitrary subdifferentiable excitation objective functions. We successfully applied this pulse design approach for jointly designing RF and gradient waveforms for 3D spatially tailored large-tip excitation objectives.\n\n \n\nThe auto-differentiable pulse design method can yield superior 3D spatially tailored excitation profiles that are useful for inner volume (IV) imaging. We propose and develop a novel steady-state IV imaging strategy which suppresses aliasing by saturating the outer volume (OV) magnetizations via a 3D tailored OV excitation pulse that is followed by a signal crusher gradient. This method substantially suppresses the unwanted OV aliasing for common steady-state imaging sequences.\n\n \n\nThe second part focuses on non-iterative image reconstruction. In dynamic imaging (e.g.\, fMRI)\, where a time series is to be reconstructed\, such algorithms may offer savings in overall reconstruction time. We extend the conventional GRAPPA algorithm to work efficiently for general non-Cartesian acquisitions. It attains reconstruction quality that can rival classical iterative imaging methods such as conjugate gradient SENSE and SPIRiT.\n\n \n\nIn summary\, this dissertation has proposed and developed multiple methods for accelerating MR imaging\, from pulse design to reconstruction. While devoted to neuroimaging\, the proposed methods are general and should also be useful for other applications.
