Controlling quality of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data files is a necessary but complex task. To address this problem, we statistically characterize common NGS quality features and develop a novel quality control procedure involving tree-based ...
Subclinical doses of LPS (SD-LPS) are known to cause low-grade inflammatory activation of monocytes, which could lead to inflammatory diseases including atherosclerosis and metabolic syndrome. Sodium 4-phenylbutyrate is a potential therapeutic compou...
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate image quality and lesion detection capabilities of low-dose (LD) portal venous phase whole-body computed tomography (CT) using deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR).
Closed-cycle aquaculture using hatchery produced seed stocks is vital to the sustainability of endangered species such as Pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis) because this aquaculture system does not depend on aquaculture seeds collected from th...
BACKGROUND: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is generally a safe procedure, but adverse events often occur. This highlights the necessity of the quality control of EGD. Complete visualization and photo documentation of upper gastrointestinal (UGI) tr...
As stroke mortality rates decrease, there has been a surge of effort to study poststroke dementia (PSD) to improve long-term quality of life for stroke survivors. Hippocampal volume may be an important neuroimaging biomarker in poststroke dementia, a...
Cardiac magnetic resonance quantitative T1-mapping is increasingly used for advanced myocardial tissue characterisation. However, cardiac or respiratory motion can significantly affect the diagnostic utility of T1-maps, and thus motion artefact detec...
Biological processes are accomplished by the coordinated action of gene products. Gene products often participate in multiple processes, and can therefore be annotated to multiple Gene Ontology (GO) terms. Nevertheless, processes that are functionall...

BACKGROUND: Tissue characterisation with cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) parametric mapping has the potential to detect and quantify both focal and diffuse alterations in myocardial structure not assessable by late gadolinium enhancement. Nat...
