Weakly supervised deep learning-based intracranial hemorrhage localization [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Intracranial hemorrhage is a life-threatening disease, which requires fast medical intervention. Owing to the duration of data annotation, head CT images are usually available only with slice-level labeling. This paper presents a weakly supervised method of precise hemorrhage localization in axial slices using only position-free labels, which is based ...

A comprehensive overview on the crosstalk between microRNAs and viral pathogenesis and infection

Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 2, Page 349-425, March 2025.
Abstract Infections caused by viruses as the smallest infectious agents, pose a major threat to global public health. Viral infections utilize different host mechanisms to facilitate their own propagation and pathogenesis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), as small noncoding RNA molecules, play important regulatory roles in different diseases, including viral ...
