Rodent models of postherpetic neuralgia: How far have we reached? by Mingxi Ou, Mingxi Ou, Jiamin Chen, Shaomin Yang, Lizu Xiao, Donglin Xiong, Songbin Wu

“…However, only a few rodent models focus on the VZV-associated pain and PHN.ObjectiveTo summarize the establishment and characteristics of popular PHN rodent models, thus offer bases for the selection and improvement of PHN models.DesignIn this review, we retrospect two promising PHN rodent models, VZV-induced PHN model and HSV1-induced PHN model in terms of pain-related evaluations, their contributions to PHN pathogenesis and pharmacology.ResultsSignificant difference of two PHN models is the probability of virus proliferation; 2) Most commonly used pain evaluation of PHN model is mechanical allodynia, but pain-induced anxiety and other behaviours are worth noting; 3) From current PHN models, pain mechanisms involve changes in virus gene and host gene expression, neuroimmune–glia interactions and ion channels; 4) antiviral drugs and classical analgesics serve more on the acute stage of herpetic pain.ConclusionsDifferent PHN models assessed by various pain evaluations combine to fulfil more comprehensive understanding of PHN.…”

Gradual Channel Pruning While Training Using Feature Relevance Scores for Convolutional Neural Networks by Sai Aparna Aketi, Sourjya Roy, Anand Raghunathan, Kaushik Roy

“…However, existing pruning techniques suffer from one or more of the following limitations: 1) They increase the time and energy consumed by the compute-heavy training stage due to the addition of the pruning and fine-tuning steps, 2) They prune layer-wise based on local information about a particular layer's statistics, ignoring the effect of error propagation through the network, 3) They lack an efficient means to determine the global importance of channels, 4) Due to the use of unstructured pruning, they may not lead to any energy advantage when implemented on mainstream platforms (GPUs and TPUs), requiring specialized hardware to reap the benefits. …”
