Given the largely unexplored application of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) steroid analysis in primary aldosteronism (PA), we aimed to investigate its diagnostic utility in PA classification and to characterize steroid secr...
Chronic Venous Disorders (CVD) of the lower limbs are one of the most prevalent medical conditions, affecting 35% of adults in Europe and North America. Due to the exponential growth of the aging population and the worsening of CVD with age, it is ex...
BACKGROUND: Ultrasound guidance increases the success rate of peripheral intravenous catheter placement. However, the longer time required to obtain ultrasound-guided access poses difficulties for ultrasound beginners. Notably, interpretation of ultr...
OBJECTIVE: Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) guidelines discourage ongoing access salvage attempts after two interventions prior to successful use or more than three interventions per year overall. The goal was to develop a tool for ...
OBJECTIVES: The study focused on developing a reliable real-time venous localization, identification, and visualization framework based upon deep learning (DL) self-parametrized Convolution Neural Network (CNN) algorithm for segmentation of the venou...
Forensic identification using vein patterns in standard colour images presents significant challenges due to their low visibility. Recent efforts have employed various computational techniques, including artificial neural networks and optical vein di...
Finger vein (FV) biometrics have garnered considerable attention due to their inherent non-contact nature and high security, exhibiting tremendous potential in identity authentication and beyond. Nevertheless, challenges pertaining to the scarcity of...

Palm-vein has been widely used for biometric recognition due to its resistance to theft and forgery. However, with the emergence of adversarial attacks, most existing palm-vein recognition methods are vulnerable to adversarial image attacks, and to t...
Venous blood collection is a widely used medical diagnostic technique, and with rapid advancements in robotics, robotic venous blood collection has the potential to replace traditional manual methods. The success of this robotic approach is heavily d...
Currently, finger vein recognition (FVR) stands as a pioneering biometric technology, with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and Transformers, among other advanced deep neural networks (DNNs), consistently pushing the boundaries of recognition acc...
