Automatic Tracking of Muscle Cross-Sectional Area Using Convolutional Neural Networks with Ultrasound.

Journal of ultrasound in medicine : official journal of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to develop an automatic tracking method for the muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) on ultrasound (US) images using a convolutional neural network (CNN). The performance of the proposed method was evaluated and...

Selecting precise reference normal tissue samples for cancer research using a deep learning approach.

BMC medical genomics
BACKGROUND: Normal tissue samples are often employed as a control for understanding disease mechanisms, however, collecting matched normal tissues from patients is difficult in many instances. In cancer research, for example, the open cancer resource...

Integrated machine learning pipeline for aberrant biomarker enrichment (i-mAB): characterizing clusters of differentiation within a compendium of systemic lupus erythematosus patients.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Clusters of differentiation () are cell surface biomarkers that denote key biological differences between cell types and disease state. CD-targeting therapeutic monoclonal antibodies () afford rich trans-disease repositioning opportunities. Within a ...

Arterial stiffness in normal pregnancy as assessed by digital pulse wave analysis by photoplethysmography - A longitudinal study.

Pregnancy hypertension
INTRODUCTION: It might in the future be valuable to screen for increased maternal arterial stiffness, i.e. low compliance, since it is associated with development of hypertensive complications in pregnancy. Digital pulse wave analysis (DPA) is an eas...

Transfer learning for classification of cardiovascular tissues in histological images.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Automatic classification of healthy tissues and organs based on histology images is an open problem, mainly due to the lack of automated tools. Solutions in this regard have potential in educational medicine and medical prac...

Denoising of 3D magnetic resonance images with multi-channel residual learning of convolutional neural network.

Japanese journal of radiology
PURPOSE: To test if the proposed deep learning based denoising method denoising convolutional neural networks (DnCNN) with residual learning and multi-channel strategy can denoise three dimensional MR images with Rician noise robustly.

Randomized controlled trial of Amigo® robotically controlled versus manually controlled ablation of the cavo-tricuspid isthmus using a contact force ablation catheter.

Journal of interventional cardiac electrophysiology : an international journal of arrhythmias and pacing
BACKGROUND: Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of the cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI) is a common treatment for atrial flutter (AFL). However, achieving bi-directional CTI conduction block may be difficult, partly due to catheter instability.

Higher Serum Endocan Level Is Associated with Alzheimer Disease.

Dementia and geriatric cognitive disorders
BACKGROUND: The novel molecule endocan, which is released by endothelium and is regulated by proangiogenic and proinflammatory cytokines, may have a role in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer disease (AD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the rela...

Serum Cardiac Troponin T Levels in Asymptomatic Elderly Nursing Home Residents.

The American journal of medicine
BACKGROUND: The definition of myocardial infarction relies on elevated troponin levels. However, elevated levels of high sensitive cardiac troponin (hs-cTnT) assays have been reported in elderly patients without acute myocardial infarction. We sought...

"Hypothyroidism screening during first trimester of pregnancy".

BMC pregnancy and childbirth
BACKGROUND: Subclinical hypothyroidism is defined as an elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone level with a normal thyroxin level without signs or symptoms of hypothyroidism. Although it is well accepted that overt hypothyroidism has a deleterious impa...
