Transcriptomic and machine learning analyses identify hub genes of metabolism and host immune response that are associated with the progression of breast capsular contracture.

Capsular contracture is a prevalent and severe complication that affects the postoperative outcomes of patients who receive silicone breast implants. At present, prosthesis replacement is the major treatment for capsular contracture after both breast augmentation procedures and breast reconstruction following breast cancer surgery. However, the mechanism(s) underlying breast capsular contracture r...

Visual modalities-based multimodal fusion for surgical phase recognition.

Surgical workflow analysis is essential to help optimize surgery by encouraging efficient communication and the use of resources. However, the performance of phase recognition is limited by the use of information related to the presence of surgical instruments. To address the problem, we propose visual modality-based multimodal fusion for surgical phase recognition to overcome the limited diversit...
