Attention based CNN-LSTM Network for Pulmonary Embolism Prediction on Chest Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiograms [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
With more than 60,000 deaths annually in the United States, Pulmonary Embolism (PE) is among the most fatal cardiovascular diseases. It is caused by an artery blockage in the lung; confirming its presence is time-consuming and is prone to over-diagnosis.

Fitting rectangles under vulnerability curves: optimal water flow through plants [PDF]

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, 41 (2018) pp.7949-7957, 2019
We study an optimization problem for a model of steady state water transport through plants that maximizes water flow subject to the constraints on hydraulic conductance due to vulnerability to embolism (air blockage of conduits). The model has an elementary geometric interpretation, and exhibits bottleneck behavior where one of the plant segments ...

WSES classification and guidelines for liver trauma [PDF]

, 2016
The severity of liver injuries has been universally classified according to the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) grading scale. In determining the optimal treatment strategy, however, the haemodynamic status and associated injuries ...

Endogenous Near‐Infrared Chemiluminescence: Imaging‐Guided Non‐Invasive Thrombolysis and Anti‐Inflammation Based on a Heteronuclear Transition Metal Complex

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 19, May 22, 2025.
Cu2Ir NPs based on a Cu‐porphyrin core and cyclometalated Ir(III) substituents achieve combined endogenous peroxynitrite‐triggered NIR chemiluminescence imaging, PTT and PDT for successfully achieving safe thrombolysis, antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory multifunctionality in one single molecule.

Delivery of Liquid Metal to the Target Vessels as Vascular Embolic Agent to Starve Diseased Tissues or Tumors to Death [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
Tumor growth relies heavily on the continuous blood and nutrients supply. Theoretically, it is an ideal therapeutic way of killing tumor by only vascular embolization. However, most of the existing vascular embolic agents are still rather insufficient to fulfill the real clinical need due to the reasons like: incomplete filling of target vasculature ...

PECon: Contrastive Pretraining to Enhance Feature Alignment between CT and EHR Data for Improved Pulmonary Embolism Diagnosis [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Previous deep learning efforts have focused on improving the performance of Pulmonary Embolism(PE) diagnosis from Computed Tomography (CT) scans using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). However, the features from CT scans alone are not always sufficient for the diagnosis of PE.

Impact of primary tumor clinicopathological factors on prognosis after hepatic resection for rectal liver metastases

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This retrospective study evaluates the prognostic factors in patients undergoing curative hepatic resection for rectal cancer liver metastases. It identifies lateral lymph node metastasis and perineural invasion as significant prognostic factors. Moreover, patients with these factors required nonsurgical treatment in the early postoperative period ...

Surgical and Oncological Outcomes of Conversion Surgery After Hepatic Arterial Infusion Chemotherapy for Initially Unresectable Locally Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Conversion surgery for HCC. ABSTRACT Background Since 2013, we have performed conversion surgery after hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) for initially unresectable locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (LA‐HCC). Methods Between 2013 and 2021, we assessed the surgical and oncological outcomes and pathological findings of patients with LA‐
