Deep Learning-based Automated Aortic Area and Distensibility Assessment: the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA).

This study details application of deep learning for automatic segmentation of the ascending and descending aorta from 2D phase-contrast cine magnetic resonance imaging for automatic aortic analysis on the large MESA cohort with assessment on an external cohort of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) patients. This study includes images and corresponding analysis of the ascending and descending aorta at ...

Full subcostal subxiphoid robotic-assisted radical thymectomy: preclinical cadaveric study for optimizing patient positioning, table settings, and port configuration.

Robotic subxiphoid transthoracic thymectomy showed several surgical advantages. Nevertheless, the intercostal insertion of trocars may lead to nerve injury with enhanced post-operative pain. Moreover, the dissection of peri-diaphragmatic mediastinal fat may result challenging, in particular on left side, where the presence of the heart precludes the optimal visualization. We describe a preclinical...

Retzius-sparing technique independently predicts early recovery of urinary continence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

INTRODUCTION: In elderly patients with cervical spinal cord injury, comorbidities such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are common, with...

Radiogenomics and Artificial Intelligence Approaches Applied to Cardiac Computed Tomography Angiography and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance for Precision Medicine in Coronary Heart Disease: A Systematic Review.

The risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) clinical manifestations and patient management is estimated according to risk scores accounting multifactoria...

A machine learning pipeline revealing heterogeneous responses to drug perturbations on vascular smooth muscle cell spheroid morphology and formation.

Machine learning approaches have shown great promise in biology and medicine discovering hidden information to further understand complex biological a...

Using an artificial neural network to develop an optimal model of straight punch in boxing and training in punch techniques based on this model and real-time feedback.

The work was aimed to develop an optimal model of a straight punch in boxing based on an artificial neural network (ANN) in the form of a multilayer p...

Does prior transurethral resection of prostate affect the functional and oncological outcomes of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy? A matched-pair analysis.

Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is challenging in men with prior history of transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Few studies an...

Automated deep learning-based paradigm for high-risk plaque detection in B-mode common carotid ultrasound scans: an asymptomatic Japanese cohort study.

BACKGROUND: The death due to stroke is caused by embolism of the arteries which is due to the rupture of the atherosclerotic lesions in carotid arteri...
