ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.Abstract Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a common complication following left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation and increases patient morbidity and mortality. Due to the complex and limited understanding of RVF pathophysiology, efforts to prognosticate RVF after LVAD have been challenging.

Analysis of Heterogeneity of Pneumothorax-associated Deformation using Model-based Registration [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Recent advances in imaging techniques have enabled us to visualize lung tumors or nodules in early-stage cancer. However, the positions of nodules can change because of intraoperative lung deflation, and the modeling of pneumothorax-associated deformation remains a challenging issue for intraoperative tumor localization.

Tension Pneumothorax During Surgery for Thoracic Spine Stabilization in Prone Position
Journal of Investigative Medicine High Impact Case Reports, 2014 The intraoperative progression of a simple or occult pneumothorax into a tension pneumothorax can be a devastating clinical scenario. Routine use of prophylactic thoracostomy prior to anesthesia and initiation of controlled ventilation in patients with ...

Lung ultrasound: a valid help in the differential diagnosis between pneumothorax and pulmonary blebs
Emergency Care Journal, 2013 Spontaneous pneumothorax is a relatively common disease but its radiological diagnosis can be difficult because of the insufficient sensitivity of chest X-rays. This is even more so when bullous emphysema and acute pneumothorax co-exist.

Health Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Payment reforms in healthcare can have spillover effects on the care experienced by non‐targeted patients treated by the same provider. Few empirical studies have quantitatively investigated the mechanisms behind these effects. We formulate theory‐driven hypotheses to investigate the spillover mechanisms of a regional payment reform in the ...

Acta Paediatrica, Volume 112, Issue 1, Page 124-131, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim To describe epidemiology and characteristics of cerebral palsy (CP) in western Sweden 1954–2014. Methods Population‐based study covering 105 935 live births in the area in 2011–2014. Birth characteristics, neuroimaging findings and outcome were analysed and prevalence calculated.

Automated diagnosis of pneumothorax using an ensemble of convolutional neural networks with multi-sized chest radiography images [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Pneumothorax is a relatively common disease, but in some cases, it may be difficult to find with chest radiography. In this paper, we propose a novel method of detecting pneumothorax in chest radiography. We propose an ensemble model of identical convolutional neural networks (CNN) with three different sizes of radiography images.

Statistical modeling of pneumothorax deformation by mapping CT and cone-beam CT images [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 In this study, we introduce statistical modeling methods for pneumothorax deformation using paired cone-beam computed tomography (CT) images. We designed a deformable mesh registration framework for shape changes involving non-linear deformation and rotation of the lungs.

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.Abstract Intercostal neuralgia (ICN) in pregnancy is a rare condition which, to date, has not been well studied. Due to the lack of evidence, there is not a consensus about effective therapeutic strategies for this condition. The present study investigated the feasibility of ultrasound‐guided intercostal block (UG‐ICB) using ropivacaine for these ...

Pneumothorax Segmentation: Deep Learning Image Segmentation to predict Pneumothorax [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Computer vision has shown promising results in medical image processing. Pneumothorax is a deadly condition and if not diagnosed and treated at time then it causes death. It can be diagnosed with chest X-ray images. We need an expert and experienced radiologist to predict whether a person is suffering from pneumothorax or not by looking at the chest X ...
