An Efficient Vein Pattern-based Recognition System [PDF]

, 2010
This paper presents an efficient human recognition system based on vein pattern from the palma dorsa. A new absorption based technique has been proposed to collect good quality images with the help of a low cost camera and light source. The system automatically detects the region of interest from the image and does the necessary preprocessing to ...

Deep Learning for Finger Vein Recognition: A Brief Survey of Recent Trend [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Finger vein image recognition technology plays an important role in biometric recognition and has been successfully applied in many fields. Because veins are buried beneath the skin tissue, finger vein image recognition has an unparalleled advantage, which is not easily disturbed by external factors. This review summarizes 46 papers about deep learning

Early diuretic response and outcome prediction in ambulatory worsening heart failure: Natriuresis versus diuresis

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Early diuresis and natriuresis are commonly used to assess the efficacy of decongestive therapy following an acute heart failure episode. There is limited knowledge regarding which parameter better predicts adverse clinical outcomes, especially in the outpatient setting.

Foliage Plant Retrieval using Polar Fourier Transform, Color Moments and Vein Features [PDF]

, 2011
This paper proposed a method that combines Polar Fourier Transform, color moments, and vein features to retrieve leaf images based on a leaf image. The method is very useful to help people in recognizing foliage plants. Foliage plants are plants that have various colors and unique patterns in the leaf.

Identification of serum C4BPA as a potential diagnostic marker of right ventricular remodelling via proteomic analysis

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Right ventricular (RV) remodelling, a progressive condition characterized by maladaptive cardiac structural and functional changes, primarily results from prolonged pressure overload in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Accurate, universal and easy‐to‐use biomarkers for assessing the severity of RV remodelling are lacking.

Real-time ultrasound-guided catheterisation of the internal jugular vein: a prospective comparison with the landmark technique in critical care patients [PDF]

, 2006
INTRODUCTION: Central venous cannulation is crucial in the management of the critical care patient. This study was designed to evaluate whether real-time ultrasound-guided cannulation of the internal jugular vein is superior to the standard landmark ...

Percutaneous mechanical circulatory support for acute right heart failure: A practical approach

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
This is an overview of percutaneous mechanical circulatory support options for acute right heart failure, illustrating key clinical scenarios, device types, and principles of tailored device selection based on haemodynamics and underlying pathology. Abstract Acute right heart failure (RHF) represents a critical entity with significant morbidity and ...

The prognostic value of the Dandel's index in patients undergoing tricuspid transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Load adaptation indices and concepts. An adapted RV in response to overload increases wall thickness to normalize wall stress and preserve function and morphology. If hemodynamic overload is sustained, it can progress to a maladaptive state and lead eventually to heart failure. CI, cardiac index; Ees, ventricular elastance; Ea, arterial elastance; MPAP,

ICFVR 2017: 3rd International Competition on Finger Vein Recognition [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
In recent years, finger vein recognition has become an important sub-field in biometrics and been applied to real-world applications. The development of finger vein recognition algorithms heavily depends on large-scale real-world data sets. In order to motivate research on finger vein recognition, we released the largest finger vein data set up to now ...
