Resposta cutânea a alérgenos ambientais em indivíduos atendidos em serviço de pneumologia, Maringá, Estado do Paraná, Brasil = Cutaneous response to environmental allergens in patients attended in pulmonology service of Maringá, Paraná State, Brazil [PDF]

Acta Scientiarum. Health Sciences, 2012
As alergias respiratórias, comumente as rinites e a asma, vêm se tornando cada vez mais frequentes. Considerando que no Noroeste do Paraná há poucos dados referentes ao assunto, propusemos a verificar os agentes causadores de alergias respiratórias e ...

Color Invariant Skin Segmentation [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
This paper addresses the problem of automatically detecting human skin in images without reliance on color information. A primary motivation of the work has been to achieve results that are consistent across the full range of skin tones, even while using a training dataset that is significantly biased toward lighter skin tones.

Conceptual-level evaluation of a variable stiffness skin for a morphing wing leading edge [PDF]

, 2019
A morphing leading edge produces a continuous aerodynamic surface that has no gaps between the moving and fixed parts. The continuous seamless shape has the potential to reduce drag, compared to conventional devices, such as slats that produce a discrete

A small footprint couch‐top support device for image‐guided radiotherapy of heavy patients

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Purpose Patients with body weights close to or above 400 lbs present unique challenges in radiation therapy since the weight limit of most treatment couches decreases as the couch‐top extends toward the treatment gantry. The purpose of this work was to develop a small footprint couch‐top support platform to safely perform image‐guided ...

Dermal Xenobiotic Metabolism: A Comparison between Native Human Skin, Four in vitro Skin Test Systems and a Liver System

Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2014
The xenobiotic metabolism of 4 in vitro human skin test systems (2D and 3D) was compared with that of the native human skin samples from which the skin test systems had been produced. In total 3 skin samples were investigated, each from a different donor

The application of multiple metrics in deformable image registration for target volume delineation of breast tumor bed

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background and purpose For postoperative breast cancer patients, deformable image registration (DIR) is challenged due to the large deformations and non‐correspondence caused by tumor resection and clip insertion. To deal with it, three metrics (fiducial‐, region‐, and intensity‐based) were jointly used in DIR algorithm for improved accuracy ...

Image quality comparisons of coil setups in 3T MRI for brain and head and neck radiotherapy simulations

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 23, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Purpose MRI is increasingly used for brain and head and neck radiotherapy treatment planning due to its superior soft tissue contrast. Flexible array coils can be arranged to encompass treatment immobilization devices, which do not fit in diagnostic head/neck coils. Selecting a flexible coil arrangement to replace a diagnostic coil should rely
