Learning to Identify Patients at Risk of Uncontrolled Hypertension Using Electronic Health Records Data [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Hypertension is a major risk factor for stroke, cardiovascular disease, and end-stage renal disease, and its prevalence is expected to rise dramatically. Effective hypertension management is thus critical. A particular priority is decreasing the incidence of uncontrolled hypertension.

Posterior Basicranium Asymmetry and Idiopathic Scoliosis [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 Study design Are there neuro-anatomical abnormalities associated with idiopathic scoliosis (IS)? Posterior Basicranium (PBA) reflects cerebellum growth and contains vestibular organs, two structures suspected to be involved in scoliosis. Objective The aim of this study was to compare posterior basicranium asymmetry (PBA) in Idiopathic scoliosis (IS ...

Magnetic Resonance Elastography and Portal Hypertension: Influence of the Portal Venous Flow on the Liver Stiffness [PDF]
Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine -- the 9th International
Europe-China Symposium, Strasbourg 2-4 Oct 2019, In press, 2020 The invasive measurement of the hepatic venous pressure gradient is still considered as the reference method to assess the severity of portal hypertension. Even though previous studies have shown that the liver stiffness measured by elastography could predict portal hypertension in patients with chronic liver disease, the mechanisms behind remain today

Imaging and interventions in idiopathic intracranial hypertension: A pictorial essay
Indian Journal of Radiology and Imaging, 2015 Intracranial hypertension is a syndrome of elevated intracranial pressure that can be primary or secondary. The primary form, now termed idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), was in the past a disease of exclusion and imaging played a limited role ...

Predicting the trajectory of intracranial pressure in patients with traumatic brain injury: evaluation of a foundation model for time series [PDF]
arXivPatients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) often experience pathological increases in intracranial pressure (ICP), leading to intracranial hypertension (tIH), a common and serious complication. Early warning of an impending rise in ICP could potentially improve patient outcomes by enabling preemptive clinical intervention.
