DUNet: A deformable network for retinal vessel segmentation

, 2018
Automatic segmentation of retinal vessels in fundus images plays an important role in the diagnosis of some diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. In this paper, we propose Deformable U-Net (DUNet), which exploits the retinal vessels' local features

Elevated hemoglobin glycation index identify non-diabetic individuals at increased risk of kidney dysfunction [PDF]

, 2017
Hemoglobin glycation index (HGI), calculated as the difference between the observed value of HbA1 and the predicted HbA1c based on plasma glucose concentration, is a measure of the individual tendency toward non-enzymatic hemoglobin glycation which has ...

Intestinal epithelial injury and inflammation after physical work in temperate and hot environments in older men with hypertension or type 2 diabetes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract We tested whether older adults with well‐controlled type 2 diabetes or hypertension, compared with age‐matched adults without chronic disease, exhibit greater intestinal damage, microbial translocation and inflammation during exertional heat stress.

Sodium thiosulfate treatment rescues hyperglycaemia‐induced pronephros damage in zebrafish by upregulating nitric oxide signalling

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Sodium thiosulfate (STS) rescues the pronephros phenotype of pdx1 morphants through compensatory upregulation of nitric oxide (NO) metabolism. Zebrafish larvae injected with a control morpholino show the typical pronephros structure at 48 h post‐fertilization (hpf) with and without STS treatment.

Quality of care in patients with diabetic kidney disease in Asia: The Joint Asia Diabetes Evaluation (JADE) Registry [PDF]

, 2016
Aims: Diabetic kidney disease independently predicts cardiovascular disease and premature death. We examined the burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD, defined as an estimated GFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2) and quality of care in a cross-sectional survey of ...

Unveiling protective mechanisms of wild olive (acebuche) oil in retinal pigment epithelial cells with hypertensive phenotype

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from acebuche (ACE) oil‐ and extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)‐fed mice modulate nitric oxide (NO) metabolism in the retinal pigment epithelial cell line (ARPE19) with a hypertensive phenotype induced by angiotensin II (AngII).

Influence of metabolic syndrome on hypertension-related target organ damage [PDF]

, 2005
OBJECTIVES: The aim of our study was to analyse, in a wide group of essential hypertensive patients without diabetes mellitus, the influence of metabolic syndrome (MS) (defined according to the criteria laid down in the Third Report of the National ...

A computational model for retinal haemodynamics under gravitational and postural variations

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The haemodynamic impact of gravitational and postural changes on the retina, and its relevance to spaceflight associated neuro‐ocular syndrome (SANS), remains incompletely characterized. This study assesses retinal haemodynamics from upright to head‐down tilt using a lumped‐parameter model that dynamically couples intraocular ...

Hypertensive retinopathy as the initial presentation of neuroblastoma

American Journal of Ophthalmology Case Reports, 2017
Purpose: To describe a case of a patient who presented with hypertensive retinopathy and was found to have neuroblastoma. Observations: Neuroblastoma has three main ocular presentations. As a primary disease, it can present with a paraneoplastic syndrome

Periodontitis and extracellular vesicles: Emerging roles in inflammation, tissue destruction and systemic crosstalk

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
Extracellular vesicles released from periodontal tissues and pathogens mediate local inflammation and disseminate systemically via the circulation. By transporting regulatory microRNAs and inflammatory cytokines, these vesicles link periodontitis to systemic inflammatory conditions and represent emerging targets for minimally invasive diagnostics and ...
