Effect of Random Histogram Equalization on Breast Calcification Analysis Using Deep Learning [PDF]
, 2022 Early detection and analysis of calcifications in mammogram images is crucial in a breast cancer diagnosis workflow. Management of calcifications that require immediate follow-up and further analyzing its benignancy or malignancy can result in a better prognosis.

The emerging roles of irisin in vascular calcification. [PDF]
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)Vascular calcification is a common accompanying pathological change in many chronic diseases, which is caused by calcium deposition in the blood vessel wall and leads to abnormal blood vessel function.

Gla-rich protein (GRP) as an early and novel marker of vascular calcification and kidney dysfunction in diabetic patients with CKD: a pilot cross-sectional study [PDF]
, 2020 Vascular calcification (VC) is one of the strongest predictors of cardiovascular risk in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. New diagnostic/prognostic tools are required for early detection of VC allowing interventional strategies.

Improved accuracy and reproducibility of coronary artery cal-cification features using deconvolution [PDF]
, 2022 Our long-range goal is to improve current whole-heart CT calcium score by extracting quantitative features from individual calcifications. We performed deconvolution to improve small calcifications assessment which challenge conventional CT calcium score scanning resolution. We analyzed features of individual calcifications on repeated standard (2.5-mm)

The galectin-3/RAGE dyad modulates vascular osteogenesis in atherosclerosis [PDF]
, 2013 Vascular calcification correlates with inflammation and plaque instability in a dual manner, depending on the spotty/granular (micro) or sheet-like/lamellated (macro) pattern of calcification.

Role of Glycosylation in Vascular Calcification [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Glycosylation is an important step in post-translational protein modification. Altered glycosylation results in an abnormality that causes diseases such as malignancy and cardiovascular diseases. Recent emerging evidence highlights the importance of glycosylation in vascular calcification.

CDKN2A/p16INK4a expression is associated with vascular progeria in chronic kidney disease [PDF]
, 2017 Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) display a progeric vascular phenotype linked to apoptosis, cellular senescence and osteogenic transformation. This has proven intractable to modelling appropriately in model organisms.
