Automatic Estimation of Fetal Abdominal Circumference From Ultrasound Images [PDF]

IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics, 2018
Ultrasound diagnosis is routinely used in obstetrics and gynecology for fetal biometry, and owing to its time-consuming process, there has been a great demand for automatic estimation. However, the automated analysis of ultrasound images is complicated because they are patient-specific, operator-dependent, and machine-specific.

Separate and combined associations of body-mass index and abdominal adiposity with cardiovascular disease: collaborative analysis of 58 prospective studies [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Guidelines differ about the value of assessment of adiposity measures for cardiovascular disease risk prediction when information is available for other risk factors. We studied the separate and combined associations of body-mass index (BMI),

Multivariate linear regression to predict association of non‐invasive arterial stiffness with cardiovascular events

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1141-1150, April 2025.
Abstract Background Arterial stiffness is a crucial factor in determining an increase in systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure and can also predict the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between arterial stiffness and future CVD.

Limb Compression Therapy and Chemotherapy‐Induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Women With Gynecologic Cancers: A Prospective Self‐Controlled Study(NEURO‐GLOVE Trial)

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
With no effective drug‐based prevention strategies available for chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), research in neuroprotective approaches has grown. Of particular interest is mechanical compression, which may protect nerves by temporarily reducing blood flow during treatment. The authors here conducted a prospective trial in women with
