Case Study: Explaining Diabetic Retinopathy Detection Deep CNNs via Integrated Gradients [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
In this report, we applied integrated gradients to explaining a neural network for diabetic retinopathy detection. The integrated gradient is an attribution method which measures the contributions of input to the quantity of interest. We explored some new ways for applying this method such as explaining intermediate layers, filtering out unimportant ...

Sustainable Synthesis, Characterization, Cellular Effects of Gold Nanoparticles and Their Applications as Therapeutics in Cancer Therapy

ChemPlusChem, EarlyView.
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are widely used in biomedicine, electronics, catalysis, and environmental science. Conventional synthesis relies on harsh chemicals, driving interest in eco‐friendly methods using plants, bacteria, fungi, and algae. Biomolecules like polyphenols, proteins, and fatty acids aid nanoparticle synthesis under mild conditions. This

Cryoglobulinemia and double‐filtration plasmapheresis: Personal experience and literature review

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 159-169, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Cryoglobulinemia is defined as the presence of an abnormal immunoglobulin that may be responsible for vasculitis of small‐caliber vessels. Apheresis can be used in order to temporarily eliminate circulating cryoglobulins. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of apheresis (double‐filtration plasmapheresis‐DFPP‐) in ...

Improved Microaneurysm Detection using Deep Neural Networks [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
In this work, we propose a novel microaneurysm (MA) detection for early diabetic retinopathy screening using color fundus images. Since MA usually the first lesions to appear as an indicator of diabetic retinopathy, accurate detection of MA is necessary for treatment.

Metformin and growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) in type 2 diabetes mellitus: A hidden treasure 二甲双胍和生长分化因子15 (GDF15)在2型糖尿病中的作用:一个隐藏的宝藏

Journal of Diabetes, Volume 14, Issue 12, Page 806-814, December 2022., 2022
Highlights Metformin activates GDF15 expression, which reduces appetite with induction of weight loss in both diabetic and non‐diabetic patients. GDF15 level is linked and correlated with the progression of diabetic complications including thrombosis, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic neuropathy, and diabetic retinopathy. Abstract Type 2 diabetes mellitus

Deep Learning based Early Detection and Grading of Diabetic Retinopathy Using Retinal Fundus Images [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a constantly deteriorating disease, being one of the leading causes of vision impairment and blindness. Subtle distinction among different grades and existence of many significant small features make the task of recognition very challenging.

The influence of shorter red blood cell lifespan on the rate of HbA1c target achieved in type 2 diabetes patients with a HbA1c detection value lower than 7% HbA1c检测值低于7%的2型糖尿病患者血红细胞寿命缩短对HbA1c达标率的影响

Journal of Diabetes, Volume 15, Issue 1, Page 7-14, January 2023., 2023
Highlights Red blood cell (RBC) lifespan variation, is the main cause of variation in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), independent of blood glucose levels. This study highlighted the important impact of RBC lifespan on HbA1c test value in T2DM with HbA1c test value <7%. We discovered that the HbA1c test value in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients with RBC
