The therapeutic effect of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) on vulvovaginal atrophy
Pharmacological Research, 2021 Vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA) is a chronic disease that mostly occurs in postmenopausal women. After menopause, insufficient sex hormones affect the anatomy of the vagina and cause drastic physiological changes. The main histopathological studies of VVA show that postmenopausal estrogen deficiency can lead to the increase of intermediate/parabasal cells ...

Simultaneous column-based deep learning progression analysis of atrophy associated with AMD in longitudinal OCT studies [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Purpose: Disease progression of retinal atrophy associated with AMD requires the accurate quantification of the retinal atrophy changes on longitudinal OCT studies. It is based on finding, comparing, and delineating subtle atrophy changes on consecutive pairs (prior and current) of unregistered OCT scans.

A deformation-based morphometry framework for disentangling Alzheimer's disease from normal aging using learned normal aging templates [PDF]
, 2023 Alzheimer's Disease and normal aging are both characterized by brain atrophy. The question of whether AD-related brain atrophy represents accelerated aging or a neurodegeneration process distinct from that in normal aging remains unresolved. Moreover, precisely disentangling AD-related brain atrophy from normal aging in a clinical context is complex ...

Noninvasive optical estimation of CSF thickness for brain-atrophy monitoring [PDF]
Biomedical Optics Express 9 (2018) 4094-4112, 2018 Dementia disorders are increasingly becoming sources of a broad range of problems, strongly interfering with normal daily tasks of a growing number of individuals. Such neurodegenerative diseases are often accompanied with progressive brain atrophy that, at late stages, leads to drastically reduced brain dimensions.

Progressive Attention Guidance for Whole Slide Vulvovaginal Candidiasis Screening [PDF]
26th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and
Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI 2023), 2023 Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is the most prevalent human candidal infection, estimated to afflict approximately 75% of all women at least once in their lifetime. It will lead to several symptoms including pruritus, vaginal soreness, and so on. Automatic whole slide image (WSI) classification is highly demanded, for the huge burden of disease control ...

Self-Supervised CSF Inpainting with Synthetic Atrophy for Improved Accuracy Validation of Cortical Surface Analyses [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Accuracy validation of cortical thickness measurement is a difficult problem due to the lack of ground truth data. To address this need, many methods have been developed to synthetically induce gray matter (GM) atrophy in an MRI via deformable registration, creating a set of images with known changes in cortical thickness.

High-dimensional single-index Bayesian modeling of brain atrophy [PDF]
Bayesian Analysis (2019), 2017 We propose a model of brain atrophy as a function of high-dimensional genetic information and low dimensional covariates such as gender, age, APOE gene, and disease status. A nonparametric single-index Bayesian model of high dimension is proposed to model the relationship with B-spline series prior on the unknown functions and Dirichlet process scale ...
