Genomewide association analysis of coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND Modern genotyping platforms permit a systematic search for inherited components of complex diseases. We performed a joint analysis of two genomewide association studies of coronary artery disease. METHODS We first identified chromosomal loci

Assessment of Vessel Density on Non-Contrast Computed Tomography to Detect Basilar Artery Occlusion [PDF]
Introduction: Basilar artery occlusion (BAO) may be clinically occult due to variable and non-specific symptomatology. We evaluated the qualitative and quantitative determination of a hyperdense basilar artery (HDBA) on non-contrast computed tomography ...

Blunt traumatic celiac artery avulsion managed with celiac artery ligation and open aorto-celiac bypass. [PDF]
Traumatic celiac artery injuries are rare and highly lethal with reported mortality rates of 38-62%. The vast majority are caused by penetrating trauma with only 11 reported cases due to blunt trauma (Graham et al., 1978; Asensio et al., 2000, 2002 ...

Segmentation and Vascular Vectorization for Coronary Artery by Geometry-based Cascaded Neural Network [PDF]
Segmentation of the coronary artery is an important task for the quantitative analysis of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) images and is being stimulated by the field of deep learning. However, the complex structures with tiny and narrow branches of the coronary artery bring it a great challenge.

Burden of Coronary Artery Disease and Peripheral Artery Disease: A Literature Review
Background Atherothrombotic disease, including coronary artery disease (CAD) and peripheral artery disease (PAD), can lead to cardiovascular (CV) events, such as myocardial infarction, stroke, limb ischemia, heart failure, and CV death.

A Recurrent CNN for Automatic Detection and Classification of Coronary Artery Plaque and Stenosis in Coronary CT Angiography [PDF]
Various types of atherosclerotic plaque and varying grades of stenosis could lead to different management of patients with a coronary artery disease. Therefore, it is crucial to detect and classify the type of coronary artery plaque, as well as to detect

Integrated Freeway Traffic Control Using Q-Learning with Adjacent Arterial Traffic Considerations [PDF]
Numerous studies have shown the effectiveness of intelligent transportation system techniques such as variable speed limit (VSL), lane change (LC) control, and ramp metering (RM) in freeway traffic flow control. The integration of these techniques has the potential to further enhance the traffic operation efficiency of both freeway and adjacent ...
