Skeletal muscle and subcutaneous fat quantity as prognostic indicators in cardiac amyloidosis
Aims Disease‐related changes in body composition are associated with worse outcomes in chronic heart failure. In cardiac amyloidosis (CA), the prognostic value of direct body composition measures is understudied. Methods and results We identified 160 consecutive patients with CA (transthyretin [ATTR] or light chain [AL]) diagnosed between 2001 and 2021

Residual Block-based Multi-Label Classification and Localization Network with Integral Regression for Vertebrae Labeling [PDF]
Accurate identification and localization of the vertebrae in CT scans is a critical and standard preprocessing step for clinical spinal diagnosis and treatment. Existing methods are mainly based on the integration of multiple neural networks, and most of them use the Gaussian heat map to locate the vertebrae's centroid.
