Topology Repairing of Disconnected Pulmonary Airways and Vessels: Baselines and a Dataset [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Accurate segmentation of pulmonary airways and vessels is crucial for the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary diseases. However, current deep learning approaches suffer from disconnectivity issues that hinder their clinical usefulness. To address this challenge, we propose a post-processing approach that leverages a data-driven method to repair the ...

Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors in the management of Waldenström macroglobulinemia
American Journal of Hematology, Volume 98, Issue 2, Page 338-347, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors have taken a central role in the management of patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia and are the only agents approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat these patients. Although associated with high rates of durable responses, unmet needs with BTK inhibitor therapy include ...

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 ...

Birth defects associated with paternal firefighting in the National Birth Defects Prevention Study
American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 66, Issue 1, Page 30-40, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Background Few studies have evaluated birth defects among children of firefighters. We investigated associations between birth defects and paternal work as a firefighter compared to work in non‐firefighting and police officer occupations. Methods We analyzed 1997–2011 data from the multi‐site case‐control National Birth Defects Prevention ...
