TA-Net: Topology-Aware Network for Gland Segmentation [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Gland segmentation is a critical step to quantitatively assess the morphology of glands in histopathology image analysis. However, it is challenging to separate densely clustered glands accurately. Existing deep learning-based approaches attempted to use contour-based techniques to alleviate this issue but only achieved limited success. To address this

A phenomap of TTR amyloidosis to aid diagnostic screening
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1113-1118, April 2025.Abstract Cardiac amyloidosis due to transthyretin (ATTR) remains an underdiagnosed cause of cardiomyopathy. As awareness of the disease grows and referrals for ATTR increase, clinicians are likely to encounter more atypical forms of the condition in clinical practice.

Generation of functional salivary gland tissue from human submandibular gland stem/progenitor cells
Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2020 Background Organ replacement regenerative therapy based on human adult stem cells may be effective for salivary gland hypofunction. However, the generated tissues are immature because the signaling factors that induce the differentiation of human ...

Head &Neck, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background In recent years, particle therapy has shown promise as a local treatment for salivary gland carcinoma (SGC); however, its efficacy and safety remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of intensity‐modulated proton therapy (IMPT) for SGC.

AI-based automated Meibomian gland segmentation, classification and reflection correction in infrared Meibography [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Purpose: Develop a deep learning-based automated method to segment meibomian glands (MG) and eyelids, quantitatively analyze the MG area and MG ratio, estimate the meiboscore, and remove specular reflections from infrared images. Methods: A total of 1600 meibography images were captured in a clinical setting.

Head &Neck, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is the second most common and treatment‐resistant salivary gland carcinoma (SGC). Although platinum‐based therapies are effective, the efficacy of eribulin, a microtubule inhibitor with an 18% response rate in a Phase II trial involving recurrent/metastatic SGC, in patients with advanced ACC after ...

The Translational Role of MUC8 in Salivary Glands: A Potential Biomarker for Salivary Stone Disease?
Diagnostics, 2021 Mucin (MUC) 8 has been shown to play an important role in respiratory disease and inflammatory responses. In the present study, we investigated the question of whether MUC8 is also produced and secreted by salivary glands and whether it may also play a ...
