The research is aimed at exploring the potential of marigold petal tea (MPT), rich in polyphenol contents, against oxidative stress and obesity in a rat model following a high-fat-sugar diet (HFSD). The MPT was prepared through the customary method...
OBJECTIVE: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease that affects the small joints of the whole body and degrades the patients' quality of life. Zhengqing Fengtongning (ZF) is a traditional Chinese medicine preparation used to treat ...
OBJECTIVES: To explore texture analysis' ability on T and T relaxation maps to classify liver fibrosis into no-to-mild liver fibrosis (nmF) versus severe fibrosis (sF) group using machine learning algorithms and histology as reference standard.
BACKGROUND: Measurement noise often leads to inaccurate shear wave phase velocity estimation in ultrasound shear wave elastography. Filtering techniques are commonly used for denoising the shear wavefields. However, these filters are often not suffic...
BACKGROUND: Children with autoimmune liver disease (AILD) may develop fibrosis-related complications necessitating a liver transplant. We hypothesize that tissue-based analysis of liver fibrosis by second harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy with art...
INTRODUCTION: This study investigated the feasibility of single breath-hold (BH) diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) using deep learning reconstruction (DLR) compared to navigator triggered (NT) DWI in patients with malignant liver tumors.
The liver is one of the vital organs in the body. Precise liver segmentation in medical images is essential for liver disease treatment. The deep learning-based liver segmentation process faces several challenges. This research aims to analyze the ch...
