A semi-automated segmentation method for detection of pulmonary embolism in True-FISP MRI sequences [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a highly mortal disease, currently assessed by pulmonary CT angiography. True-FISP MRI has emerged as an innocuous alternative that does not hold many of the limitations of x-ray imaging. However, True-FISP MRI is very sensitive to turbulent blood flow, generating artifacts that may resemble fake clots in the pulmonary ...

Exploring the mechanisms of Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan on varicocele via network pharmacology and molecular docking

open access: yesAndrologia, Volume 54, Issue 11, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Varicocele (VC) is a common urogenital disease that leads to a high risk of testicular pain or male infertility. The purpose of this research was to explore the molecular mechanism of the Gui Zhi Fu Ling Wan (GFW) in the treatment of VC. The main active ingredients and targets information of GFW were screened by Traditional Chinese Medicine ...

Nonlinear dynamics of air invasion in one-dimensional compliant fluid networks [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Vascular networks exhibit a remarkable diversity of architectures and transport mechanisms across biological systems. Inspired by embolism propagation in plant xylem - where air invades water-filled conduits under negative pressure - we study air penetration in compliant one-dimensional hydrodynamic networks experiencing mass loss by pervaporation ...

Pi-PE: A Pipeline for Pulmonary Embolism Detection using Sparsely Annotated 3D CT Images [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Pulmonary embolisms (PE) are known to be one of the leading causes for cardiac-related mortality. Due to inherent variabilities in how PE manifests and the cumbersome nature of manual diagnosis, there is growing interest in leveraging AI tools for detecting PE.

Immediate skin‐to‐skin contact and postpartum hemorrhagic morbidity

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To examine rates of postpartum hemorrhagic (PPH) morbidity among patients who did and did not have immediate skin‐to‐skin contact (SSC). Methods This study was a retrospective cohort of all non‐anomalous, term singleton vaginal births at a Level IV center over 2 years. Exclusion criteria included COVID‐19.

A systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials on the effects of internal iliac artery balloon occlusion in placenta previa and placenta accreta spectrum in reducing perioperative bleeding

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Preoperative prophylactic balloon occlusion (PPBO) of internal iliac arteries (IIAs) in placenta previa and placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) has been widely used as a preventive adjuvant technique to reduce blood loss and to preserve fertility. Nevertheless, the efficacy of PPBO is based primarily on retrospective studies.
