BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Brain tumor occurs because of anomalous development of cells. It is one of the major reasons of death in adults around the globe. Millions of deaths can be prevented through early detection of brain tumor. Earlier brain tumo...
PURPOSE: External beam radiotherapy combined with interstitial brachytherapy is commonly used to treat patients with bulky, advanced gynecologic cancer. However, the high radiation dose needed to control the tumor may result in fistula development. T...
Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) is a non-invasive imaging modality that generates high-resolution volumetric images. This modality finds widespread usage in ophthalmology for the diagnosis and management of various ocular conditi...
The role of 3'-end stem-loops in retrotransposition was experimentally demonstrated for transposons of various species, where LINE-SINE retrotransposons share the same 3'-end sequences, containing a stem-loop. We have discovered that 62-68% of proces...
Cardiovascular diseases are directly linked to smoking habits, which has both physiological and anatomical effects on the systemic and retinal circulations, and these changes can be detected with fundus photographs. Here, we aimed to 1- design a Conv...
BACKGROUND: Radical measures are required to identify and reduce blindness due to diabetes to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Therefore, we evaluated the accuracy of an artificial intelligence (AI) model using deep learning in a po...
BACKGROUND: An automated method for identifying the anatomical region of an image independent of metadata labels could improve radiologist workflow (e.g., automated hanging protocols) and help facilitate the automated curation of large medical imagin...
BACKGROUND: Little research based on the artificial neural network (ANN) is done on preterm birth (spontaneous preterm labor and birth) and its major determinants. This study uses an ANN for analyzing preterm birth and its major determinants.
