Ships, ports and particulate air pollution - an analysis of recent studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The duration of use is usually significantly longer for marine vessels than for roadside vehicles. Therefore, these vessels are often powered by relatively old engines which may propagate air pollution.

DUNet: A deformable network for retinal vessel segmentation

open access: yes, 2018
Automatic segmentation of retinal vessels in fundus images plays an important role in the diagnosis of some diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. In this paper, we propose Deformable U-Net (DUNet), which exploits the retinal vessels' local features

HSP70 governs permeability and mechanotransduction in primary human endothelial cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
HSP70 chemical inhibition reduces endothelial cell proliferation and increases permeability, the latter supported by normal interendothelial junctional protein distribution. HSP70 also plays a role in shear stress response, a hemodynamic force naturally present in blood vessels and correlated with vessel protection.

Infarct size assessment by cardiac magnetic resonance and peak troponin I after aspiration thrombectomy and intracoronary abciximab assisted primary percutaneous coronary intervention in a real-world cohort of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: A single-center study

open access: yesThe Egyptian Heart Journal, 2016
Objectives: To assess the effect of manual thrombectomy on infarct size by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and peak troponin I (TnI) levels. Background: Use of manual thrombectomy during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (primary PCI) and its ...

Application of an expert system shell in the preliminary design of offshore supply vessels [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
This paper presents the application of expert system programming in preliminary ship design with particular emphasis on offshore supply vessels. Instead of using one of the conventional programming expert system languages, the system is developed using ...

Thrombolytic proteins profiling: High‐throughput activity, selectivity, and resistance assays

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We present optimized biochemical protocols for evaluating thrombolytic proteins, enabling rapid and robust screening of enzymatic activity, inhibition resistance, and fibrin affinity, stimulation, and selectivity. The outcome translates to key clinical indicators such as biological half‐life and bleeding risk. These assays streamline the development of

Automated measurements of retinal bifurcations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This paper presents an analysis of the bifurcations of retinal vessels. The angles and relative diameters of blood vessels in 230 bifurcations were measured using a new automated procedure, and used to calculate the values of several features with known ...

Calcium‐sensing receptor induces the apoptosis of chondrocytes in cooperation with phosphate transporter

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Excess Ca2+ ions activate the Calcium‐Sensing Receptor (CaSR), which subsequently drives the uptake of excess inorganic phosphate (Pi) via the Pi transporter (Pit−1) in chondrocytes. This mechanism causes a toxic increase in intracellular Pi concentration, ultimately leading to chondrocyte apoptosis and pathological mineralization. Excess extracellular

Ultrasound localization microscopy to image and assess microvasculature in a rat kidney. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The recent development of ultrasound localization microscopy, where individual microbubbles (contrast agents) are detected and tracked within the vasculature, provides new opportunities for imaging the vasculature of entire organs with a spatial ...
