Therapeutic Apheresis in Nigeria: A Multi‐Center Summary of Abstracts From the Inaugural Nigerian Society for Apheresis Scientific Meeting

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is an established treatment modality for hematologic, neurologic, and immunologic disorders, yet access remains severely limited in sub‐Saharan Africa. Donor apheresis, including platelet apheresis collection from healthy donors, represents an important complementary modality supporting blood product ...

Dynamic deformable transformer for end‐to‐end face alignment

IET Computer Vision, 2023
Heatmap‐based regression (HBR) methods have dominated for a long time in the face alignment field while these methods need complex design and post‐processing. In this study, the authors propose an end‐to‐end and simple enough coordinate‐based regression (

The many faces of sequence alignment [PDF]

Briefings in Bioinformatics, 2005
Starting with the sequencing of the mouse genome in 2002, we have entered a period where the main focus of genomics will be to compare multiple genomes in order to learn about human biology and evolution at the DNA level. Alignment methods are the main computational component of this endeavour.

Establishing an Apheresis Medicine Program in a Resource‐Constrained Setting: A 5‐Year Experience From Lagos, Nigeria

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.

Active Discriminative Cross-Domain Alignment for Low-Resolution Face Recognition

IEEE Access, 2020
In real application scenarios, the face images captured by cameras often incur blur, illumination variation, occlusion, and low-resolution (LR), which leads to a challenging problem for many real-time face recognition systems due to a big distribution ...

Component localization in face alignment

2010 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics, 2010
Face alignment is a significant problem in the processing of face image. Active Shape Model (ASM) is one of powerful solution to this problem. But ASM is sensitive to the localization of initial points. If the initial shape is not located in the appropriate location, the ASM iteration may not converge.

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Markovian mixture face recognition with discriminative face alignment [PDF]

2008 8th IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face & Gesture Recognition, 2008
A typical automatic face recognition system is composed of three parts: face detection, face alignment and face recognition. Conventionally, these three parts are processed in a bottom-up manner: face detection is performed first, then the results are passed to face alignment, and finally to face recognition.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...
