Indocyanine green elimination test in orthotopic liver recipients. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To determine its predictive capability on graft quality and resultant clinical outcome, the indocyanine green (ICG) elimination test was performed by a spectrophotometric method and a noninvasive finger-piece method with 50 orthotopic liver ...

Claw U-Net: A Unet-based Network with Deep Feature Concatenation for Scleral Blood Vessel Segmentation [PDF]
Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a vascular malformation disease, and it may cause blindness if the patient's condition is severe. Clinical results show that SWS can be divided into two types based on the characteristics of scleral blood vessels. Therefore, how to accurately segment scleral blood vessels has become a significant problem in computer-aided

Structure Preserving Cycle-GAN for Unsupervised Medical Image Domain Adaptation [PDF]
The presence of domain shift in medical imaging is a common issue, which can greatly impact the performance of segmentation models when dealing with unseen image domains. Adversarial-based deep learning models, such as Cycle-GAN, have become a common model for approaching unsupervised domain adaptation of medical images.

Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects nearly one‐third of the global population and poses a significant risk of progression to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Here, we discuss the roles of hepatic dendritic cell subtypes in MASLD, highlighting their distinct contributions to disease initiation and progression, and their ...

Insights into PI3K/AKT signaling in B cell development and chronic lymphocytic leukemia
This Review explores how the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase and protein kinase B pathway shapes B cell development and drives chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a common blood cancer. It examines how signaling levels affect disease progression, addresses treatment challenges, and introduces novel experimental strategies to improve therapies and patient outcomes.

Nonlinear lumped-parameter models for blood flow simulations in networks of vessels [PDF]
To address the issue of computational efficiency related to the modelling of blood flow in complex networks, we derive a family of nonlinear lumped-parameter models for blood flow in compliant vessels departing from a well-established one-dimensional model.
