Mesoporous core-shell silica nanoparticles with anti-fouling properties for ovarian cancer therapy [PDF]
Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) have many potential applications in biomedical fields. However, when MSNPs are exposed to plasma, protein adsorption leads to opsonization and decreases blood circulation time. A new multifunctional nanodevice based on polyethylenimine (PEI) coated core-shell Fe3O4@SiO2 MSNPs with a zwitterionic 2 ...

Fetus dose calculation during proton therapy of pregnant phantoms using MCNPX and MCNP6.2 codes [PDF]
Radiotherapy of pregnant cancer patients is not common, but when applied accurate assessment of the fetus dose is required, especially since the treatment planning systems are not able and do not allow accurate assessment of out-of-field doses. Proton therapy significantly reduces out-of-field doses, such as dose to the fetus, when compared to the ...

Deep Learning Fetal Ultrasound Video Model Match Human Observers in Biometric Measurements [PDF]
Objective. This work investigates the use of deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) to automatically perform measurements of fetal body parts, including head circumference, biparietal diameter, abdominal circumference and femur length, and to estimate gestational age and fetal weight using fetal ultrasound videos. Approach. We developed a novel multi-
