Strategic model reduction by analysing model sloppiness: a case study in coral calcification [PDF]
Environmental Modelling and Software 159 (2023) 105578, 2022 It can be difficult to identify ways to reduce the complexity of large models whilst maintaining predictive power, particularly where there are hidden parameter interdependencies. Here, we demonstrate that the analysis of model sloppiness can be a new invaluable tool for strategically simplifying complex models.

STUDY OF PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL BREAST CALCIFICATIONS ON MAMMOGRAPHY [PDF]
Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental sciences, 2013 INTRODUCTION: Breast calcifications are too small to feel. They can be seen on mammography. They are common and found in about half of all mammograms of females aged 50 and older and one in 10 mammograms of young women. The initial assessment of calcification is made to determine if they confirm well established benign morphologies. Calcifications with

The formation of labyrinths, spots and stripe patterns in a biochemical approach to cardiovascular calcification [PDF]
New J. Phys 10, 055002 (2008), 2007 Calcification and mineralization are fundamental physiological processes, yet the mechanisms of calcification, in trabecular bone and in calcified lesions in atherosclerotic calcification, are unclear. Recently, it was shown in in vitro experiments that vascular-derived mesenchymal stem cells can display self-organized calcified patterns.

Natriuretic peptide receptor-C is up-regulated in the intima of advanced carotid artery atherosclerosis [PDF]
, 2016 OBJECTIVE: Natriuretic peptide receptor-C (NPR-C/NPR-3) is a cell surface protein involved in vascular remodelling that is up-regulated in atherosclerosis. NPR-C expression has not been well characterized in human carotid artery occlusive lesions.

Transurethral ultrasound therapy of the prostate in the presence of calcifications: A simulation study [PDF]
Medical physics 45, no. 11 (2018): 4793-4805, 2019 Purpose: Transurethral ultrasound therapy is an investigational treatment modality which could potentially be used for the localized treatment of prostate cancer. One of the limiting factors of this therapy is prostatic calcifications. These attenuate and reflect ultrasound and thus reduce the efficacy of the heating.

Extensive calcification in adenocarcinoma of the lung: A case report
Thoracic Cancer, 2020 Calcification in lung nodules usually indicates a benign lesion. Here, we report the case of a 59‐year‐old male patient with a well defined 30 mm calcified nodule in his right upper lung lobe and calcified mediastinal lymph nodes.
