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...
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...

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 ...
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...

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...
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.
Journal of interventional cardiac electrophysiology : an international journal of arrhythmias and pacing
Feb 12, 2018
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.

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...
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...
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...
