Realistic Ultrasound Image Synthesis for Improved Classification of Liver Disease [PDF]
, 2021 With the success of deep learning-based methods applied in medical image analysis, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been investigated for classifying liver disease from ultrasound (US) data. However, the scarcity of available large-scale labeled US data has hindered the success of CNNs for classifying liver disease from US data.

Cystic and Papillary Neoplasm at the Hepatic Hilum Possibly Originating in the Peribiliary Glands
Case Reports in Pathology, 2016 Cystic neoplasms of the liver are divided into two types: mucinous cystic neoplasm and cystic intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct. We herein report two cases of cystic and papillary neoplasm of the liver which differed from the abovementioned

Order-of-mutation effects on cancer progression: models for myeloproliferative neoplasm [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We develop a modeling framework for cancer progression that distinguishes the order of two possible mutations. Recent observations and information on myeloproliferative neoplasms are analyzed within our framework. In some patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms, two genetic mutations can be found, JAK2 V617F and TET2.

Online Domain Adaptation for Continuous Cross-Subject Liver Viability Evaluation Based on Irregular Thermal Data [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Accurate evaluation of liver viability during its procurement is a challenging issue and has traditionally been addressed by taking invasive biopsy on liver. Recently, people have started to investigate on the non-invasive evaluation of liver viability during its procurement using the liver surface thermal images.

Survival analysis over a 20-year period of a Brazilian cohort of blood donors coinfected HIV-HCV
Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2023 Among individuals coinfected with HCV and HIV, studies of mortality from non-hepatic causes have shown inconsistent results. The aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of HCV and HIV co-infection to mortality from hepatic and non-hepatic ...
