PHT-bot: Deep-Learning based system for automatic risk stratification of COPD patients based upon signs of Pulmonary Hypertension [PDF]
Proc. SPIE 10950, Medical Imaging 2019: Computer-Aided Diagnosis,
109500O, 2019 Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Identifying those at highest risk of deterioration would allow more effective distribution of preventative and surveillance resources. Secondary pulmonary hypertension is a manifestation of advanced COPD, which can be reliably diagnosed by the main ...

Noninvasive Estimation of Mean Pulmonary Artery Pressure Using MRI, Computer Models, and Machine Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) is a severe disease characterized by an elevated pulmonary artery pressure. The gold standard for PH diagnosis is measurement of mean Pulmonary Artery Pressure (mPAP) during an invasive Right Heart Catheterization. In this paper, we investigate noninvasive approach to PH detection utilizing Magnetic Resonance Imaging ...

Parameter inference in a computational model of hemodynamics in pulmonary hypertension [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Pulmonary hypertension (PH), defined by a mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) $>$ 20 mmHg, is characterized by increased pulmonary vascular resistance and decreased pulmonary arterial compliance. There are few measurable biomarkers of PH progression, but a conclusive diagnosis of the disease requires invasive right heart catheterization (RHC ...

Fluid-structure interaction modeling of blood flow in the pulmonary arteries using the unified continuum and variational multiscale formulation [PDF]
, 2020 In this work, we present a computational fluid-structure interaction (FSI) study for a healthy patient-specific pulmonary arterial tree using the unified continuum and variational multiscale (VMS) formulation we previously developed. The unified framework is particularly well-suited for FSI, as the fluid and solid sub-problems are addressed in ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.The authors applied joint/mixed models that predict mortality of trifluridine/tipiracil‐treated metastatic colorectal cancer patients based on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) trajectories. Patients at high risk of death could be spared aggressive therapy with the prospect of a higher quality of life in their remaining lifetime, whereas patients with a ...

Regulatory effect of gut microbes on blood pressure
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 513-531, December 2022., 2022 The interaction between gut microbiota and hypertension, the genera which affect the blood pressure in taxonomic level, and the commonly used treatments to hypertension based on the gut microbes were summarized in this review. The increases of Lactobacillus, etc.
