Concurrent consideration of cortical and cancellous bone within continuum bone remodelling [PDF]
, 2020 Continuum bone remodelling is an important tool for predicting the effects of mechanical stimuli on bone density evolution. While the modelling of only cancellous bone is considered in many studies based on continuum bone remodelling, this work presents an approach of modelling also cortical bone and the interaction of both bone types.

KITD816V+ systemic mastocytosis associated with KITD816V+ acute erythroid leukaemia: first case report with molecular evidence for same progenitor cell derivation [PDF]
, 2009 Toll-like receptor (TLR)-9 recognizes CpG motifs in microbial DNA. TLR9 signalling stimulates innate antimicrobial immunity and modulates adaptive immune responses including autoimmunity against chromatin, e.g., in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE ...

Bone marrow fibrosis, sequence variant of asxl1, and Sjögren syndrome : A case report [PDF]
, 2020 Only proven pathogenic mutations associated with myeloid neoplasms are key to establish the clonal nature of the bone marrow fibrosis. In cases with genetic variants of uncertain meaning, the clinical picture may be required to rule out secondary causes.

Computational Intelligence Approach to Improve the Classification Accuracy of Brain Neoplasm in MRI Data [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Automatic detection of brain neoplasm in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is gaining importance in many medical diagnostic applications. This report presents two improvements for brain neoplasm detection in MRI data: an advanced preprocessing technique is proposed to improve the area of interest in MRI data and a hybrid technique using Convolutional ...

Osteoporotic and Neoplastic Compression Fracture Classification on Longitudinal CT [PDF]
, 2016 Classification of vertebral compression fractures (VCF) having osteoporotic or neoplastic origin is fundamental to the planning of treatment. We developed a fracture classification system by acquiring quantitative morphologic and bone density determinants of fracture progression through the use of automated measurements from longitudinal studies.

Bone Adaptation as a Geometric Flow [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 This paper presents bone adaptation as a geometric flow. The proposed method is based on two assumptions: first, that the bone surface is smooth (not fractal) permitting the definition of a tangent plane and, second, that the interface between marrow and bone tissue phases is orientable.
