ABSTRACT Introduction Type 1 plasminogen deficiency (PLGD‐1), or hypoplasminogenaemia, is an ultra‐rare autosomal‐recessive disorder characterised by fibrin‐rich lesions on mucous membranes, often leading to serious complications if left untreated. Prior treatments have shown limited and inconsistent success, but IV PLG concentrate (Ryplazim) offers a ...

Autonomous Driving in the Lung using Deep Learning for Localization [PDF]
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, and early diagnosis is critical to improving patient outcomes. To diagnose cancer, a highly trained pulmonologist must navigate a flexible bronchoscope deep into the branched structure of the lung for biopsy.

Endoscopic bronchial ultrasound in mediastinal staging of lung cancer [PDF]
Lung cancer is a global healthcare concern with a low 5-year survival rate and a high proportion of advanced-stage cases at diagnosis. In the absence of distant metastasis, the most important prognostic marker is mediastinal lymph node involvement ...

DD-VNB: A Depth-based Dual-Loop Framework for Real-time Visually Navigated Bronchoscopy [PDF]
Real-time 6 DOF localization of bronchoscopes is crucial for enhancing intervention quality. However, current vision-based technologies struggle to balance between generalization to unseen data and computational speed. In this study, we propose a Depth-based Dual-Loop framework for real-time Visually Navigated Bronchoscopy (DD-VNB) that can generalize ...
