OBJECTIVE: Chronic inflammatory processes involving the vascular wall may induce atherosclerosis. Immune-inflammatory processes proceed throughout all stages of acute stroke. We investigated the association of three immune-inflammatory markers, namel...
BACKGROUND: Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle injection (EBUS-TBNI) is a novel technique for treating peribronchial targets. The aim of this study was to evaluate preliminary feasibility of thrombolysis of pulmonary emboli via EBU...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Traditional statistical models and pretreatment scoring systems have been used to predict the outcome for acute ischemic stroke patients (AIS). Our aim was to select the most relevant features in terms of outcome prediction on...

OBJECTIVES: The Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) is a promising tool for the evaluation of stroke expansion to determine suitability for reperfusion therapy. The aim of this study was to validate deep learning-based AS...
This study was aimed to discuss the effectiveness and safety of deep learning-based computed tomography perfusion (CTP) imaging in the thrombolytic therapy for acute cerebral infarct with unknown time of onset. A total of 100 patients with acute cere...
Untethered small-scale robots offer great promise for medical applications in complex biological environments. However, challenges remain in the control and medical imaging of a robot for targeted delivery inside a living body, especially in flowing ...

To develop a noninvasive machine learning (ML) model based on energy spectrum computed tomography venography (CTV) indices for preoperatively predicting the effect of intravenous thrombolytic treatment in lower limbs. A total of 3492 slices containin...
BACKGROUND: Haemorrhage transformation (HT) is a serious complication of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in acute ischaemic stroke (AIS). Accurate and timely prediction of the risk of HT before IVT may change the treatment decision and improve clinica...
