Proposal of a computed tomography classification for hepatic alveolar echinococcosis

World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2016
To establish a computed tomography (CT)-morphological classification for hepatic alveolar echinococcosis was the aim of the study.The CT morphology of hepatic lesions in 228 patients with confirmed alveolar echinococcosis (AE) drawn from the Echinococcus Databank of the University Hospital of Ulm was reviewed retrospectively.

Mathematical Model and Analysis of Transmission Dynamics of Hepatitis B Virus [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Hepatitis B is a potentially life-threatening liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). In this paper, the transmission dynamics of hepatitis B is formulated with a mathematical model with considerations of different classes of individuals, namely immunized, susceptible, latent,infected and recovered class.

Rapid detection of alveolar echinococcosis in hepatic nodules of horses by recombinase polymerase amplification assay

Veterinary and Animal Science, 2023
Alveolar echinococcosis in slaughtered horses remains a public health issue. This study aimed to develop a Recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) assay targeting the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5 (Nad5) gene of Echinococcus ...

Rare Case of Multifocal Alveolar Echinococcosis

Journal of the Belgian Society of Radiology
Teaching Point: Hepatic alveolar echinococcosis can mimic a slow-growing tumor, and multi-organ involvement is rare; imaging has a crucial role in diagnosing this zoonosis that is endemic in the southern part of Belgium.

Quantification of Alveolar Recruitment for the Optimization of Mechanical Ventilation using Quasi-static Pressure Volume Curve [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Quasi-static, pulmonary pressure-volume (P-V) curves over an inflation-deflation cycle are analyzed using a respiratory system model (RSM), which had been developed for quantitative characterization of the mechanical behavior of the total respiratory system.

Comparison of ultrasonographic features between two types of hepatic echinococcosis and hepatoblastoma in children

Frontiers in Pediatrics
IntroductionThe prevalence of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (AE) and cystic echinococcosis (CE) is notably high among children in western China, with the mortality rate for untreated children potentially reaching up to 90%. Meanwhile, hepatoblastoma is

Robust phase-retrieval-based X-ray tomography for morphological assessment of early hepatic echinococcosis infection in rats.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Propagation-based phase-contrast computed micro-tomography (PPCT) dominates the non-destructive, three-dimensional inner-structure measurement in synchrotron-based biomedical research due to its simple experimental setup. To quantitatively visualize tiny

Finite element simulation of fluid dynamics and CO$_2$ gas exchange in the alveolar sacs of the human lung [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
In this article we present a numerical framework based on continuum models for the fluid dynamics and the CO$_2$ gas distribution in the alveolar sacs of the human lung during expiration and inspiration, including the gas exchange to the cardiovascular system. We include the expansion and contraction of the geometry by means of the Arbitrary Lagrangian
