Deep Reinforcement Learning for L3 Slice Localization in Sarcopenia Assessment [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Sarcopenia is a medical condition characterized by a reduction in muscle mass and function. A quantitative diagnosis technique consists of localizing the CT slice passing through the middle of the third lumbar area (L3) and segmenting muscles at this level.

Three-dimensional numerical schemes for the segmentation of the psoas muscle in X-ray computed tomography images [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
The analysis of the psoas muscle in morphological and functional imaging has proved to be an accurate approach to assess sarcopenia, i.e. a systemic loss of skeletal muscle mass and function that may be correlated to multifactorial etiological aspects. The inclusion of sarcopenia assessment into a radiological workflow would need the implementation of ...

Novel methodology to quantify dehydration in head and neck cancer radiotherapy using DIXON MRI

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page 448-455, December 2022., 2022
Head and neck cancer (HNC) patients are at risk of weight change, due to inadequate nutrition intake or dehydration, when receiving radiotherapy (RT). 4This study aimed to develop methodology to measure water content changes on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the head and neck region over the course of RT.

An association analysis between hypertension, dementia, and depression and the phases of pre-sarcopenia to sarcopenia: A cross-sectional analysis.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Sarcopenia is intricately related to aging associated diseases, such as neuropsychiatric disorders, oral status, and chronic diseases. Dementia and depression are interconnected and also related to sarcopenia.

Sarcopenia is common in ulcerative colitis and correlates with disease activity [PDF]

Intestinal Research
Background/Aims Association of sarcopenia with disease severity in ulcerative colitis (UC) is not clearly defined. We planned to estimate the prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with UC as per the revised definition and its relation with the disease ...

Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease/Pediatric End‐Stage Liver Disease exception policy and outcomes in pediatric patients with hepatopulmonary syndrome requiring liver transplantation

Liver Transplantation, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is associated with increased waitlist mortality in liver transplantation (LT) candidates. Children with HPS are granted Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease (MELD)/Pediatric End‐Stage Liver Disease (PELD) exception points for waitlist prioritization in the United States based on criterion developed for adults.
