Decision Support System for Renal Transplantation [PDF]
In: Proceedings of the 2018 IISE Annual Conference: 2018; Orlando:
IISE; 2018: 431-436, 2018 The burgeoning need for kidney transplantation mandates immediate attention. Mismatch of deceased donor-recipient kidney leads to post-transplant death. To ensure ideal kidney donor-recipient match and minimize post-transplant deaths, the paper develops a prediction model that identifies factors that determine the probability of success of renal ...

Corneal Pachymetry by AS-OCT after Descemet's Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Corneal thickness (pachymetry) maps can be used to monitor restoration of corneal endothelial function, for example after Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK). Automated delineation of the corneal interfaces in anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) can be challenging for corneas that are irregularly shaped due to ...

Assessment of Biomechanical Properties for Corneal Post Refractive Surgery [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 A stable shape for corneas experiencing refractive surgery has to be sustained so as to elude post-refractive surgery de-compensation. This de-compensation leads to visual complications and unsatisfactory procedure recovery. Variation in corneal lamellae and collagen fibres is induced by recent LASER refractive surgical procedures utilizing LASER ...

In vivo Optical Coherence Elastography Reveals Spatial Variation and Anisotropy of Corneal Stiffness [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Objective: The mechanical properties of corneal tissues play a crucial role in determining corneal shape and have significant implications in vision care. This study aimed to address the challenge of obtaining accurate in vivo data for the human cornea.

Evaluation of transplant benefits with the U.S. Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients by semiparametric regression of mean residual life [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Kidney transplantation is the most effective renal replacement therapy for end stage renal disease patients. With the severe shortage of kidney supplies and for the clinical effectiveness of transplantation, patient's life expectancy post transplantation is used to prioritize patients for transplantation; however, severe comorbidity conditions and old ...

On the Automated Detection of Corneal Edema with Second Harmonic Generation Microscopy and Deep Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 When the cornea becomes hydrated above its physiologic level it begins to significantly scatter light, loosing transparency and thus impairing eyesight. This condition, known as corneal edema, can be associated with different causes, such as corneal scarring, corneal infection, corneal inflammation, and others, making it difficult to diagnose and ...

PLoS ONE, 2015 The effect of local and systemic injections of mesenchymal stem cells derived from adipose tissue (AD-MSC) into rabbit models of corneal allograft rejection with either normal-risk or high-risk vascularized corneal beds was investigated.
