Q fever outbreak in the terraced vineyards of Lavaux, Switzerland
New Microbes and New Infections, EarlyView., 2014 Abstract Coxiella burnetii infection (Q fever) is a widespread zoonosis with low endemicity in Switzerland, therefore no mandatory public report was required. A cluster of initially ten human cases of acute Q fever infections characterized by prolonged fever, asthenia and mild hepatitis occurred in 2012 in the terraced vineyard of Lavaux ...

Learning the shape of female breasts: an open-access 3D statistical shape model of the female breast built from 110 breast scans [PDF]
, 2021 We present the Regensburg Breast Shape Model (RBSM) -- a 3D statistical shape model of the female breast built from 110 breast scans acquired in a standing position, and the first publicly available. Together with the model, a fully automated, pairwise surface registration pipeline used to establish dense correspondence among 3D breast scans is ...

Cold atmospheric plasma activated deionized water using helium, argon, and nitrogen as feeding gas for cancer therapy [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Plasma activated medium, containing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), has been used for cancer treatment as an indirect treatment method. Here we report cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) activated deionized (DI) water using helium (He), argon (Ar), and nitrogen (N2) as feeding gas for the cancer therapy.

Semantic Segmentation and Object Detection Towards Instance Segmentation: Breast Tumor Identification [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Breast cancer is one of the factors that cause the increase of mortality of women. The most widely used method for diagnosing this geological disease i.e. breast cancer is the ultrasound scan. Several key features such as the smoothness and the texture of the tumor captured through ultrasound scans encode the abnormality of the breast tumors (malignant

convoHER2: A Deep Neural Network for Multi-Stage Classification of HER2 Breast Cancer [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Generally, human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) breast cancer is more aggressive than other kinds of breast cancer. Currently, HER2 breast cancer is detected using expensive medical tests are most expensive. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a computational model named convoHER2 for detecting HER2 breast cancer with image data using ...

Breast biomecanical modeling for compression optimization in digital breast tomosynthesis [PDF]
A. Gefen and D. Weihs. Computer Methods in Biomechanics and
Biomedical Engineering, Lecture Notes in Bioengineering, Springer
International Publishing, pp.29-35, 2018, 2018 Mammography is a specific type of breast imaging that uses low-dose X-rays to detect cancer in early stage. During the exam, the women breast is compressed between two plates until a nearly uniform breast thickness is obtained. This technique improves image quality and reduces dose but can also be the source of discomfort and sometimes pain for the ...

A biomechanical breast model evaluated with respect to MRI data collected in three different positions [PDF]
Clinical Biomechanics, Elsevier, 2018, 60, pp.191 - 199, 2018 Background: Mammography is a specific type of breast imaging that uses low-dose X-rays to detect cancer in early stage. During the exam, the women breast is compressed between two plates in order to even out the breast thickness and to spread out the soft tissues. This technique improves exam quality but can be uncomfortable for the patient.
