Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Development of predictive statistical shape models for paediatric lower limb bones

open access: yes, 2022
Background and objective: Accurate representation of bone shape is important for subject-specific musculoskeletal models as it may influence modelling of joint kinematics, kinetics, and muscle dynamics. Statistical shape modelling is a method to estimate

Spatially-constrained Keypoint Matching for Efficient Statistical Shape Modelling

open access: yesCurrent Directions in Biomedical Engineering
Statistical shape models (SSMs) allow the compact description of the variability of object shapes within a given sample set. They are commonly used in medical imaging to model and analyse the shape of anatomical structures such as organs.

Statistical shape modeling of multi-organ anatomies with shared boundaries

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Introduction: Statistical shape modeling (SSM) is a valuable and powerful tool to generate a detailed representation of complex anatomy that enables quantitative analysis of shapes and their variations.

Deep Statistic Shape Model for Myocardium Segmentation

open access: yesCoRR, 2022
Accurate segmentation and motion estimation of myocardium have always been important in clinic field, which essentially contribute to the downstream diagnosis. However, existing methods cannot always guarantee the shape integrity for myocardium segmentation.

Forecasting the Dialysis Burden in Japan: Validation‐Based Projections of Prevalence and Incidence Through 2050

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Japan has one of the highest dialysis prevalence rates worldwide and a shrinking, aging population. Whether dialysis burden has entered a sustained post‐peak phase or whether recent declines partly reflect pandemic‐related disruptions remains uncertain.

3D statistical shape models to embed spatial relationship information

open access: yes, 2005
This paper presents the creation of 3D statistical shape models of the knee bones and their use to embed information into a segmentation system for MRIs of the knee.

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Exploring Reliability for Automatic Identity Verification with Statistical Shape Models

open access: yes, 2007
One of the drawbacks of statistical shape models is their occasional failure to converge. Although visually this fact is usually easy to assess there is not, in general, an automatic way to detect the failure.

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...
