Fully Automated Deep Learning-enabled Detection for Hepatic Steatosis on Computed Tomography: A Multicenter International Validation Study [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Despite high global prevalence of hepatic steatosis, no automated diagnostics demonstrated generalizability in detecting steatosis on multiple international datasets. Traditionally, hepatic steatosis detection relies on clinicians selecting the region of interest (ROI) on computed tomography (CT) to measure liver attenuation. ROI selection demands time

Mathematical model of immune response to hepatitis B [PDF]

J. Theor. Biol. 447, 98-110 (2018), 2018
A new detailed mathematical model for dynamics of immune response to hepatitis B is proposed, which takes into account contributions from innate and adaptive immune responses, as well as cytokines. Stability analysis of different steady states is performed to identify parameter regions where the model exhibits clearance of infection, maintenance of a ...
