Automated segmentation of the individual branches of the carotid arteries in contrast-enhanced MR angiography using DeepMedic.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: Non-invasive imaging is of interest for tracking the progression of atherosclerosis in the carotid bifurcation, and segmenting this region into its constituent branch arteries is necessary for analyses. The purpose of this study was to va...

Trace element, immune and opioid biomarkers of unstable angina, increased atherogenicity and insulin resistance: Results of machine learning.

Journal of trace elements in medicine and biology : organ of the Society for Minerals and Trace Elements (GMS)
BACKGROUND: Aberrations in endothelial cells, immune and oxidative pathways are associated with atherosclerosis (ATS) and unstable angina (UA). The role of trace elements, minerals, and the endogenous opioid system (EOS) in UA are less well establish...

Oral microbiome-systemic link studies: perspectives on current limitations and future artificial intelligence-based approaches.

Critical reviews in microbiology
In the past decade, there has been a tremendous increase in studies on the link between oral microbiome and systemic diseases. However, variations in study design and confounding variables across studies often lead to inconsistent observations. In th...

Association of Cardiovascular Mortality and Deep Learning-Funduscopic Atherosclerosis Score derived from Retinal Fundus Images.

American journal of ophthalmology
PURPOSE: The prediction of atherosclerosis using retinal fundus images and deep learning has not been shown possible. The purpose of this study was to develop a deep learning model which predicted atherosclerosis by using retinal fundus images and to...

Vitamin D insufficiency is associated with subclinical atherosclerosis in HIV-1-infected patients on combination antiretroviral therapy.

HIV research & clinical practice
Vitamin D insufficiency has been associated with faster progression of atherosclerosis and increased cardiovascular disease risk, but limited data are available in HIV-infected people. So, we examined potential correlation between vitamin D status a...

Label-Free Tomographic Imaging of Lipid Droplets in Foam Cells for Machine-Learning-Assisted Therapeutic Evaluation of Targeted Nanodrugs.

ACS nano
Lipid droplet (LD) accumulation, a key feature of foam cells, constitutes an attractive target for therapeutic intervention in atherosclerosis. However, despite advances in cellular imaging techniques, current noninvasive and quantitative methods hav...

Anti-varicella Zoster Virus IgG and hsCRP Levels Correlate with Progression of Coronary Artery Atherosclerosis.

Iranian journal of allergy, asthma, and immunology
The relationship between high levels of anti-Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) IgG in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and cerebrovascular atherosclerosis commends a possible similar association in other vessels. We aimed to investigate the association of VZV-se...

Automatic identification of atherosclerosis subjects in a heterogeneous MR brain imaging data set.

Magnetic resonance imaging
Carotid-artery atherosclerosis (CA) contributes significantly to overall morbidity and mortality in ischemic stroke. We propose a machine learning technique to automatically identify subjects with CA from a heterogeneous cohort of magnetic resonance ...
