Relation of Age, Sex and Bone Mineral Density to Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels in Chinese Women and Men.

Orthopaedic surgery
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relation of circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) levels to age, sex, and bone mineral density (BMD) in adults living in Guangzhou Province.

Human Age Estimation Based on Locality and Ordinal Information.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
In this paper, we propose a novel feature selection-based method for facial age estimation. The face aging is a typical temporal process, and facial images should have certain ordinal patterns in the aging feature space. From the geometrical perspect...

In-Depth Survey of Scarring and Distress in Patients Undergoing Bilateral Axillo-Breast Approach Robotic Thyroidectomy or Conventional Open Thyroidectomy.

Surgical laparoscopy, endoscopy & percutaneous techniques
PURPOSE: Oncologic and surgical outcomes of bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) robotic thyroidectomy (RoT) are comparable with those of open thyroidectomy (OT). We compared degree of scarring and psychological/physical distress between OT and BA...

An Artificial Immune System-Based Support Vector Machine Approach for Classifying Ultrasound Breast Tumor Images.

Journal of digital imaging
A rapid and highly accurate diagnostic tool for distinguishing benign tumors from malignant ones is required owing to the high incidence of breast cancer. Although various computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems have been developed to interpret ultras...

Fully Automated Versus Standard Tracking of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction and Longitudinal Strain: The FAST-EFs Multicenter Study.

Journal of the American College of Cardiology
BACKGROUND: Echocardiographic determination of ejection fraction (EF) by manual tracing of endocardial borders is time consuming and operator dependent, whereas visual assessment is inherently subjective.

Effect of Maternal Factors and Fetomaternal Glucose Homeostasis on Birth Weight and Postnatal Growth.

Journal of clinical research in pediatric endocrinology
OBJECTIVE: It is important to identify the possible risk factors for the occurrence of large for gestational age (LGA) in newborns and to determine the effect of birth weight and metabolic parameters on subsequent growth. We aimed to determine the ef...

Subject-Specific Sparse Dictionary Learning for Atlas-Based Brain MRI Segmentation.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Quantitative measurements from segmentations of human brain magnetic resonance (MR) images provide important biomarkers for normal aging and disease progression. In this paper, we propose a patch-based tissue classification method from MR images that...

Robotic Hysterectomy for Endometrial Cancer in Obese Patients With Comorbidities: Evaluating Postoperative Complications.

International journal of gynecological cancer : official journal of the International Gynecological Cancer Society
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study is to determine (1) if there is a relationship between increasing body mass index (BMI) and postoperative complications in patients undergoing robotic hysterectomy for endometrial cancer and (2) if there are ad...
