Deep Learning for Needle Detection in a Cannulation Simulator [PDF]
Cannulation for hemodialysis is the act of inserting a needle into a surgically created vascular access (e.g., an arteriovenous fistula) for the purpose of dialysis. The main risk associated with cannulation is infiltration, the puncture of the wall of the vascular access after entry, which can cause medical complications.

Deep denoising autoencoder-based non-invasive blood flow detection for arteriovenous fistula [PDF]
Clinical guidelines underscore the importance of regularly monitoring and surveilling arteriovenous fistula (AVF) access in hemodialysis patients to promptly detect any dysfunction. Although phono-angiography/sound analysis overcomes the limitations of standardized AVF stenosis diagnosis tool, prior studies have depended on conventional feature ...

The effect of Eck and reverse Eck fistula in dogs with experimental diabetes mellitus [PDF]
1. 1. Dogs with alloxan diabetes were subjected to Eck fistula. This procedure produced a marked increase in the amount of insulin necessary to control glycosuria.

Effect on the canine Eck fistula liver of intraportal TGF‐β alone or with hepatic growth factors [PDF]
Transforming growth factor‐β canceled the hepatocyte proliferation caused by transforming growth factor‐α when the two substances were mixed and administered through a disconnected central portal vein branch after creation of an Eck fistula. In contrast,

The dual nature of TDC – bridging dendritic and T cells in immunity
TDC are hematopoietic cells combining dendritic and T cell features. They reach secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) and peripheral organs (liver and lungs) after FLT3‐dependent development in the bone marrow and maturation in the thymus. TDC are activated and enriched in SLOs upon viral infection, suggesting that they might play unique immune roles, since

High fidelity blood flow in a patient-specific arteriovenous fistula [PDF]
An arteriovenous fistula, created by artificially connecting segments of a patient's vasculature, is the preferred way to gain access to the bloodstream for kidney dialysis. The increasing power and availability of supercomputing infrastructure means that it is becoming more realistic to use simulations to help identify the best type and location of a ...

Intimal hyperplasia and stenosis are often cited as causes of arteriovenous fistula maturation failure, but definitive evidence is lacking. We examined the associations among preexisting venous intimal hyperplasia, fistula venous stenosis after creation,
