Relationship Between Serum Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor Level and Insulin Resistance, High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Visceral Fat Mass in Prediabetes.

The American journal of the medical sciences
BACKGROUND: Growing evidence suggest that macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) plays a vital role in glucose metabolism. We aimed to ascertain whether MIF levels are altered in subjects with prediabetes and also to determine the relationship ...

A two-step convolutional neural network based computer-aided detection scheme for automatically segmenting adipose tissue volume depicting on CT images.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
Accurately assessment of adipose tissue volume inside a human body plays an important role in predicting disease or cancer risk, diagnosis and prognosis. In order to overcome limitation of using only one subjectively selected CT image slice to estima...

Automated three-dimensional body composition analysis identifies visceral adipose tissue radiodensity as a predictor of mortality and recurrence in colorectal cancer.

Clinical nutrition (Edinburgh, Scotland)
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence enables automated three-dimensional (3D) volumetric body composition (BC) analysis from computed tomography (CT), opposed to single third lumbar vertebra (L3) slices alone. This study aimed to identify relationship...

Visceral Fat Quantified by a Fully Automated Deep-Learning Algorithm and Risk of Incident and Recurrent Diverticulitis.

Diseases of the colon and rectum
BACKGROUND: Obesity is a risk factor for diverticulitis. However, it remains unclear whether visceral fat area, a more precise measurement of abdominal fat, is associated with the risk of diverticulitis.

External validation of a deep learning model for automatic segmentation of skeletal muscle and adipose tissue on abdominal CT images.

The British journal of radiology
OBJECTIVES: Body composition assessment using CT images at the L3-level is increasingly applied in cancer research and has been shown to be strongly associated with long-term survival. Robust high-throughput automated segmentation is key to assess la...

Chemerin Blood Levels are Associated with MRI Measured Volumes of Abdominal Adipose Tissue Compartments and Lifestyle Choices.

Acta clinica Croatica
Obesity is a low-grade chronic inflammatory state, in which a cytokine chemerin with its immunometabolic modulation has an important role. We aimed to study in a healthy population relationships between serum chemerin levels, lifestyle choices and ma...

Robot-assisted gastrectomy for early gastric cancer: is it beneficial in viscerally obese patients compared to laparoscopic gastrectomy?

World journal of surgery
BACKGROUND: The adoption of robotic systems for gastric cancer surgery has been proven feasible and safe; however, a benefit over the laparoscopic approach has not yet been well-documented. We aimed to investigate the surgical outcomes of robotic ver...
