In situ tissue classification during laser ablation using acoustic signals.

Journal of biophotonics
We suggest a novel method to classify the type of tissue that is being ablated, using the recorded acoustic sound waves during pulsed ultraviolet laser ablation. The motivation of the current research is tissue classification during vascular interven...

Machine learning derived segmentation of phase velocity encoded cardiovascular magnetic resonance for fully automated aortic flow quantification.

Journal of cardiovascular magnetic resonance : official journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance
BACKGROUND: Phase contrast (PC) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is widely employed for flow quantification, but analysis typically requires time consuming manual segmentation which can require human correction. Advances in machine learning ha...

Unsupervised Two-Path Neural Network for Cell Event Detection and Classification Using Spatiotemporal Patterns.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Automatic event detection in cell videos is essential for monitoring cell populations in biomedicine. Deep learning methods have advantages over traditional approaches for cell event detection due to their ability to capture more discriminative featu...

Flexible robotic catheters in the visceral segment of the aorta: advantages and limitations.

The Journal of cardiovascular surgery
Flexible robotic catheters are an emerging technology which provide an elegant solution to the challenges of conventional endovascular intervention. Originally developed for interventional cardiology and electrophysiology procedures, remotely steerab...

Differential Kolaviron Attenuated Contractile Responses to Agonists on Isolated Rabbit Aorta in Na+-K+ Pump Blockade.

Nigerian journal of physiological sciences : official publication of the Physiological Society of Nigeria
The mechanism of kolaviron-induced vascular smooth muscles (VSMs) responses has not been fullycharacterised. The present study investigated the effect and mode of action of kolaviron a biflavanoid-complex and majorcomponent of Garcinia Kola-fraction ...

Mechanisms of pulse pressure amplification dipping pattern during sleep time: the SAFAR study.

Journal of the American Society of Hypertension : JASH
The difference in pulse pressure (PP) between peripheral arteries and the aorta, called pulse pressure amplification (PPamp), is a well-described physiological phenomenon independently associated with cardiovascular events. Recent studies suggest tha...

Penetration of an artificial arterial thromboembolism in a live animal using an intravascular therapeutic microrobot system.

Medical engineering & physics
The biomedical applications of wireless robots are an active area of study. In addition to moving to a target lesion, wireless locomotive robots can deliver a therapeutic drug for a specific disease. Thus, they hold great potential as therapeutic dev...

Association between central aortic pulsatility and glomerular filtration rate in patients with coronary artery disease.

Anatolian journal of cardiology
OBJECTIVE: Aortic stiffness and chronic kidney disease share common risk factors. Increased aortic stiffness is a predictor of lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at lower levels of renal functions. We aimed to investigate the associati...

Automated generation of directed graphs from vascular segmentations.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Automated feature extraction from medical images is an important task in imaging informatics. We describe a graph-based technique for automatically identifying vascular substructures within a vascular tree segmentation. We illustrate our technique us...

Towards fast and reliable estimations of 3D pressure, velocity and wall shear stress in aortic blood flow: CFD-based machine learning approach.

Computers in biology and medicine
In this work, we developed deep neural networks for the fast and comprehensive estimation of the most salient features of aortic blood flow. These features include velocity magnitude and direction, 3D pressure, and wall shear stress. Starting from 40...
