Automated Identification of Thoracic Pathology from Chest Radiographs with Enhanced Training Pipeline [PDF]

Proc. SPIE 10950, Medical Imaging 2019: Computer-Aided Diagnosis, vol. 10950, p. 109503F, (2019), 2020
Chest x-rays are the most common radiology studies for diagnosing lung and heart disease. Hence, a system for automated pre-reporting of pathologic findings on chest x-rays would greatly enhance radiologists' productivity. To this end, we investigate a deep-learning framework with novel training schemes for classification of different thoracic ...

Modified technique of extraperitoneal colostomy without incision of the posterior rectus sheath

Scientific Reports, 2021
Extraperitoneal colostomy is a widely used technique during abdominoperineal resection (APR) operation for lower rectal cancer. This technique has been reported to be effective to prevent the postoperative parastomal hernia in some retrospective studies,

Longitudinal detection of radiological abnormalities with time-modulated LSTM [PDF]

DLMIA/ML-CDS@MICCAI 2018, 2018
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been successfully employed in recent years for the detection of radiological abnormalities in medical images such as plain x-rays. To date, most studies use CNNs on individual examinations in isolation and discard previously available clinical information.

Co-expression of CMTM6 and PD-L1: a novel prognostic indicator of gastric cancer

Cancer Cell International, 2021
Background CKLF Like MARVEL Transmembrane Domain Containing 6 (CMTM6) is involved in the epigenetic regulation of genes and tumorigenesis. Programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is closely related to the prognosis of some human cancers.

Specific genetic aberrations of parathyroid in Chinese patients with tertiary hyperparathyroidism using whole-exome sequencing

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
BackgroundTertiary hyperparathyroidism (THPT) is a peculiar subtype of hyperparathyroidism that usually develops from chronic kidney disease (CKD) and persists even after kidney transplantation. Unlike its precursor, secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT),

Toward improved inference for Krippendorff's Alpha agreement coefficient [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
In this article I recommend a better point estimator for Krippendorff's Alpha agreement coefficient, and develop a jackknife variance estimator that leads to much better interval estimation than does the customary bootstrap procedure or an alternative bootstrap procedure.

Functional characterization of a novel TP53RK mutation identified in a family with Galloway–Mowat syndrome

Human Mutation, Volume 43, Issue 12, Page 1866-1871, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Galloway–Mowat syndrome (GAMOS) is a very rare condition characterized by early‐onset nephrotic syndrome and microcephaly with variable neurologic features. While considerable genetic heterogeneity of GAMOS has been identified, the majority of cases are caused by pathogenic variants in genes encoding the four components of the Kinase ...

Clean Cut (adaptive, multimodal surgical infection prevention programme) for low‐resource settings: a prospective quality improvement study

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
Clean Cut is a multimodal, adaptive, checklist‐based infection prevention programme designed to improve compliance with six critical perioperative infection prevention practices. After introducing the programme at five hospitals in Ethiopia, compliance with critical infection prevention standards significantly improved and the relative risk of ...

Crossover from reptation to Rouse dynamics in a one-dimensional model [PDF]

, 2006
A simple one-dimensional model is constructed for polymer motion. It exhibits the crossover from reptation to Rouse dynamics through gradually allowing hernia creation and annihilation. The model is treated by the density matrix technique which permits an accurate finite-size-scaling analysis of the behavior of long polymers.
