Threadlike bundle of tubules running inside blood vessels: New anatomical structure [PDF]
arXiv, 2002 According to current anatomy, the arteries and veins do not have threadlike structures running inside the vessels. Despite such prevailing knowledge here we report on observation of a novel structure inside the blood vessels of rats and rabbits, which is a semi-transparent elastic bundle of tubules whose diameters are of 10$\mu$m order.

A Deep learning Approach to Generate Contrast-Enhanced Computerised Tomography Angiography without the Use of Intravenous Contrast Agents [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Contrast-enhanced computed tomography angiograms (CTAs) are widely used in cardiovascular imaging to obtain a non-invasive view of arterial structures. However, contrast agents are associated with complications at the injection site as well as renal toxicity leading to contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) and renal failure.

UWF-RI2FA: Generating Multi-frame Ultrawide-field Fluorescein Angiography from Ultrawide-field Retinal Imaging Improves Diabetic Retinopathy Stratification [PDF]
arXivUltrawide-field fluorescein angiography (UWF-FA) facilitates diabetic retinopathy (DR) detection by providing a clear visualization of peripheral retinal lesions. However, the intravenous dye injection with potential risks hamper its application. We aim to acquire dye-free UWF-FA images from noninvasive UWF retinal imaging (UWF-RI) using generative ...

Personalized Mathematical Model Predicting Endotoxin-Induced Inflammatory Responses in Young Men [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 The initial reaction of the body to pathogenic microbial infection or severe tissue trauma is an acute inflammatory response. The magnitude of such a response is of critical importance, since an uncontrolled response can cause further tissue damage, sepsis, and ultimately death, while an insufficient response can result in inadequate clearance of ...
