Hyper Association Graph Matching with Uncertainty Quantification for Coronary Artery Semantic Labeling [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the primary causes leading to death worldwide. Accurate extraction of individual arterial branches on invasive coronary angiograms (ICA) is important for stenosis detection and CAD diagnosis. However, deep learning-based models face challenges in generating semantic segmentation for coronary arteries due to the ...

Computational analysis for competition flows in arteriovenous fistulas based on non-contrast magnetic resonance imaging [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Introduction: Characteristics of hemodynamics strongly affect the patency of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in hemodialysis patients. Because of pressure balance changes among arteries after AVF construction, regurgitating flow occurs in some patients.

Calcium sparks in the intact gerbil spiral modiolar artery [PDF]
BMC Physiology, 2011 Abstract Background Calcium sparks are ryanodine receptor mediated transient calcium signals that have been shown to hyperpolarize the membrane potential by activating large conductance calcium activated potassium (BK) channels in vascular smooth muscle cells. Along with voltage-dependent calcium channels, they form a

Integrated Freeway Traffic Control Using Q-Learning with Adjacent Arterial Traffic Considerations [PDF]
, 2023 Numerous studies have shown the effectiveness of intelligent transportation system techniques such as variable speed limit (VSL), lane change (LC) control, and ramp metering (RM) in freeway traffic flow control. The integration of these techniques has the potential to further enhance the traffic operation efficiency of both freeway and adjacent ...

Anatomical variants and coronary anomalies detected by dual-source coronary computed tomography angiography in North-eastern Thailand [PDF]
, 2018 Purpose: Congenital coronary anomalies are uncommon, with an incidence ranging from 0.17% in autopsy cases to 1.2% in angiographically evaluated cases. The recent development of dual-source coronary computed tomography angiography (coronary CTA) allows ...
