Large Scale MRI Collection and Segmentation of Cirrhotic Liver.

Scientific data
Liver cirrhosis represents the end stage of chronic liver disease, characterized by extensive fibrosis and nodular regeneration that significantly increases mortality risk. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers a non-invasive assessment, accu...

Cardiovascular, Kidney, Liver, and Metabolic Interactions in Heart Failure: Breaking Down Silos.

Circulation research
Over the past few decades, the rising burden of metabolic disease, including type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, obesity, and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, has corresponded with fundamental shifts in the landscape of heart failu...

Nucleic acid spheres for treating capillarisation of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells in liver fibrosis.

Nature communications
Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) lose their characteristic fenestrations and become capillarized during the progression of liver fibrosis. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation can reverse this capillarization and reduce fibrosis, but...

Unsupervised Test-Time Adaptation for Hepatic Steatosis Grading Using Ultrasound B-Mode Images.

IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control
Ultrasound (US) is considered a key modality for the clinical assessment of hepatic steatosis (i.e., fatty liver) due to its noninvasiveness and availability. Deep learning methods have attracted considerable interest in this field, as they are capab...

Preoperative Prediction of Microvascular Invasion in Hepatocellular Carcinoma From Multi-Sequence Magnetic Resonance Imaging Based on Deep Fusion Representation Learning.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Recent studies have identified microvascular invasion (MVI) as the most vital independent biomarker associated with early tumor recurrence. With advancements in medical technology, several computational methods have been developed to predict preopera...

The emerging role of second harmonic generation/two photon excitation for precision digital analysis of liver fibrosis in MASH clinical trials.

Journal of hepatology
Conventional histopathological evaluation of liver biopsy slides has been invaluable in assessing the causes of liver injury, the severity of the underlying disease processes, and the degree of resulting fibrosis. However, the use of conventional his...

Assessing the diagnostic accuracy of ChatGPT-4 in the histopathological evaluation of liver fibrosis in MASH.

Hepatology communications
BACKGROUND: Large language models like ChatGPT have demonstrated potential in medical image interpretation, but their efficacy in liver histopathological analysis remains largely unexplored. This study aims to assess ChatGPT-4-vision's diagnostic acc...

Development of a Low-Profile, Piezoelectric Robot for MR-Guided Abdominal Needle Interventions.

Annals of biomedical engineering
PURPOSE: Minimally invasive needle-based interventions are commonly used in cancer diagnosis and treatment, including procedures, such as biopsy, brachytherapy, and microwave ablation. Although MR-guided needle placement offers several distinct advan...

Nuciferine activates intestinal TAS2R46 to attenuate metabolic disorders and hyperlipidemia via hepatic VLDL regulation.

Phytomedicine : international journal of phytotherapy and phytopharmacology
BACKGROUND: Dysregulated blood lipid metabolism, a primary driver of hyperlipidemia, is closely associated with excessive very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) synthesis and secretion. Nuciferine, a bioactive compound isolated from lotus leaves, demons...

Deep Visual Proteomics maps proteotoxicity in a genetic liver disease.

Nature
Protein misfolding diseases, including α1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), pose substantial health challenges, with their cellular progression still poorly understood. We use spatial proteomics by mass spectrometry and machine learning to map AATD in h...
