Detection of Fibrosis in Cine Magnetic Resonance Images Using Artificial Intelligence Techniques [PDF]

, 2022
Background: Artificial intelligence techniques have demonstrated great potential in cardiology, especially to detect imperceptible patterns for the human eye. In this sense, these techniques seem to be adequate to identify patterns in the myocardial texture which could lead to characterize and quantify fibrosis.

Fibrosis-Net: A Tailored Deep Convolutional Neural Network Design for Prediction of Pulmonary Fibrosis Progression from Chest CT Images [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Pulmonary fibrosis is a devastating chronic lung disease that causes irreparable lung tissue scarring and damage, resulting in progressive loss in lung capacity and has no known cure. A critical step in the treatment and management of pulmonary fibrosis is the assessment of lung function decline, with computed tomography (CT) imaging being a ...

Rituximab for idiopathic and IgG4-related retroperitoneal fibrosis

Medicine, 2018
Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) refers to a fibro-inflammatory lesion in the retroperitoneum, often anterolateral to the aorta. Most cases are due to IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) or are idiopathic. RPF can lead to severe morbidity.

Clinical and Pathological Characteristics of IgG4-Related Periaortitis/Periarteritis and Retroperitoneal Fibrosis Diagnosed Based on Experts’ Diagnosis

Annals of Vascular Diseases, 2018
IgG4-related disease is a systemic disease, characterized by elevation of serum IgG4 and, histopathologically, massive infiltration of IgG4+ lymphocyte and plasma cell infiltration, storiform fibrosis, causing enlargement, nodules or thickening.

Retroperitoneal fibrosis: a case of a patient (63y/o) treated with low-dose methotrexate (MTX) and 6-methylprednisolone (6-MP) [PDF]

, 2018
Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF), is a rare fibroinflammatory disease. The pathogenesis of RPF is still unclear and numerous theories have been reported such as environmental factors, immunologic process, genetic component, local inflammation and advanced

Increased expression of 5-hydroxytryptamine(2A/B) receptors in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: a rationale for therapeutic intervention [PDF]

, 2010
Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has a poor prognosis and limited responsiveness to available treatments. It is characterised by epithelial cell injury, fibroblast activation and proliferation and extracellular matrix deposition ...

Multiphase modeling of tumor growth with matrix remodeling and fibrosis [PDF]

Math. Comput. Modelling, 52(7-8):969-976, 2010, 2009
We present a multiphase mathematical model for tumor growth which incorporates the remodeling of the extracellular matrix and describes the formation of fibrotic tissue by tumor cells. We also detail a full qualitative analysis of the spatially homogeneous problem, and study the equilibria of the system in order to characterize the conditions under ...

IgG4-related disease in patients with newly diagnosed idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis: a population-based Danish study

Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology, 2019
Objectives: IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) may present as ‘idiopathic’ retroperitoneal fibrosis (IRPF). We aimed to determine the occurrence of IgG4-retroperitoneal fibrosis (IgG4-RPF) in a nationwide study on patients with newly diagnosed IRPF, and to ...
