AVRA: Automatic Visual Ratings of Atrophy from MRI images using Recurrent Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]

, 2018
Quantifying the degree of atrophy is done clinically by neuroradiologists following established visual rating scales. For these assessments to be reliable the rater requires substantial training and experience, and even then the rating agreement between two radiologists is not perfect. We have developed a model we call AVRA (Automatic Visual Ratings of

The multiphysics of prion-like diseases: progression and atrophy [PDF]

Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 158101 (2018), 2018
Many neurodegenerative diseases are related to the propagation and accumulation of toxic proteins throughout the brain. The lesions created by aggregates of these toxic proteins further lead to cell death and accelerated tissue atrophy. A striking feature of some of these diseases is their characteristic pattern and evolution, leading to well-codified ...

Ospemifene: A Novel Oral Therapy for Vulvovaginal Atrophy of Menopause [PDF]

Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Canada, 2020
Vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA) resulting from estrogen deprivation at menopause often results in distressing vaginal dryness and dyspareunia. Fewer than 25% of affected women seek help for this condition citing embarrassment, cultural values, an aging or unavailable partner and concerns about use of estrogens following the Women's Health Initiative ...

Identifying brain hierarchical structures associated with Alzheimer's disease using a regularized regression method with tree predictors [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Brain segmentation at different levels is generally represented as hierarchical trees. Brain regional atrophy at specific levels was found to be marginally associated with Alzheimer's disease outcomes. In this study, we propose an L1-type regularization for predictors that follow a hierarchical tree structure.

The Impact of Acoustic Wave Therapy on Viability and Differentiation Capacity of Human Adipose Stem Cells

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT) is a particular shock wave treatment that combines focused and radial shock waves, resulting in particular efficiency in the body's superficial layers. Its application before fat grafting has the potential to enhance it, favoring a better result of the graft.

Distinguishing Healthy Ageing from Dementia: a Biomechanical Simulation of Brain Atrophy using Deep Networks [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Biomechanical modeling of tissue deformation can be used to simulate different scenarios of longitudinal brain evolution. In this work,we present a deep learning framework for hyper-elastic strain modelling of brain atrophy, during healthy ageing and in Alzheimer's Disease.

Update on alternative therapies for vulvovaginal atrophy

Patient Preference and Adherence, 2011
Although systemic absorption of estrogen with local treatment for vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA) is most likely to be negligible, it is unknown whether this minimal absorption will affect outcomes in women with breast cancer. Use of adjuvant therapy with aromatase inhibitors for breast cancer is associated with high incidence of VVA symptoms.
