The Kováts retention index is a dimensionless quantity that characterizes the rate at which a compound is processed through a gas chromatography column. This quantity is independent of many experimental variables and, as such, is considered a near-un...
Prediction of long-term survival in patients with invasive intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas may aid in patient assessment, risk stratification and personalization of treatment. This study aimed to investigate the predict...
BACKGROUND: Readmission after spine surgery is costly and a relatively common occurrence. Previous research identified several risk factors for readmission; however, the conclusions remain equivocal. Machine learning algorithms offer a unique perspec...
To circumvent the von Neumann bottleneck, substantial progress has been made towards in-memory computing with synaptic devices. However, compact nanodevices implementing non-linear activation functions are required for efficient full-hardware impleme...

Discovering relations of cross-type biomedical entities is crucial for biology research. A large amount of potential or indirect connected biological relations is hidden in millions of biomedical literatures and biological databases. The previous rul...
We assessed the generalizability of deep learning models and how to improve it. Our exemplary use-case was the detection of apical lesions on panoramic radiographs. We employed two datasets of panoramic radiographs from two centers, one in Germany (C...

Blind image quality assessment (BIQA) is a useful but challenging task. It is a promising idea to design BIQA methods by mimicking the working mechanism of human visual system (HVS). The internal generative mechanism (IGM) indicates that the HVS acti...

The segmentation of the retinal vascular tree presents a major step for detecting ocular pathologies. The clinical context expects higher segmentation performance with a reduced processing time. For higher accurate segmentation, several automated met...
Segmentation of brain tissue types from diffusion MRI (dMRI) is an important task, required for quantification of brain microstructure and for improving tractography. Current dMRI segmentation is mostly based on anatomical MRI (e.g., T1- and T2-weigh...
Wrist Fracture is the most common type of fracture with a high incidence rate. Conventional radiography (i.e. X-ray imaging) is used for wrist fracture detection routinely, but occasionally fracture delineation poses issues and an additional confirma...
