Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.ROC curves illustrates the predictive value of parameters obtained from three methods in predicting any of the AEs. AEs, adverse events; FPR, false positive rate; TPR, true positive rate; 1 (LVEFmea line overlaps with LVEFmin line); 2 (SVRImea line overlaps with SVRImin line); 3 (SVRImea line, SVRImin line, and LVEFmea line overlap); 4 (SVRImea line ...

Feature learning based on visual similarity triplets in medical image analysis: A case study of emphysema in chest CT scans [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Supervised feature learning using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can provide concise and disease relevant representations of medical images. However, training CNNs requires annotated image data. Annotating medical images can be a time-consuming task and even expert annotations are subject to substantial inter- and intra-rater variability ...

Age‐Dependent Correlation of Pulmonary Function Impairment and Aortic Arch Stiffness in Mice
Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.This study examined the relationship between aortic arch stiffness and lung function in aging mice. Multiple linear regression modeling showed moderate to strong correlations between the rise in aortic arch stiffness and changes in lung function as the mice progressively aged.

Stabilized Extracellular Vesicle Formulations for Inhalable Dry Powder Development
Small, EarlyView.Extracellular vesicles (EVs) hold promise for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) treatment but face challenges with storage and delivery. This study demonstrates the stabilization of lung fibroblast‐derived EVs using inulin, enabling freeze‐drying and spray‐drying.

The right ventricle under pressure: Anatomy and imaging in sickness and health
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 242, Issue 1, Page 17-28, January 2023., 2023 The RV is essential to the homeostasis of normal physiology and disturbances in RV structure and function has a substantial effect on patient outcomes. This review sets out to describe the developmental and anatomical complexities of the right ventricle while exploring the modern techniques employed to image and understand its function from a clinical ...

Comparison of distinctive models for calculating an interlobar emphysema heterogeneity index in patients prior to endoscopic lung volume reduction [PDF]
, 2017 Background: The degree of interlobar emphysema heterogeneity is thought to play an important role in the outcome of endoscopic lung volume reduction (ELVR) therapy of patients with advanced COPD.

United European Gastroenterology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background and Aims The severe alpha‐1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) genotype Pi*ZZ increases the risk of liver disease (AATD‐LD) and lung disease. While non‐invasive tests (NITs) are widely used for fibrosis stage and monitoring of all liver diseases, the consensus for use in AATD‐LD is limited.
