Non-traumatic neurological deterioration is a medical emergency that may arise from diverse causes, to include cerebral infarction or intracranial hemorrhage, meningoencephalitis, seizure, h...
Type-I interferon (IFN-I) signals exert a critical role in disease progression during viral infections. However, the immunomodulatory mechanisms by which IFN-I dictates disease outcomes rema...
Colorectal tumors are common clinical diseases. Automatic segmentation of colorectal tumors captured in computed tomography (CT) images can provide numerous possibilities for computer-assist...
Heart valve has extraordinary fatigue resistance which beats ∼3 billion times in a lifetime. Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) made from fixed heteroplasm that are incrementally used in he...
The combination treatment regimen of thermal ablation (TA) and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) has gained a place in treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lesions > 3 cm u...
Rapid and accurate simulation of cerebral aneurysm flow modifications by flow diverters (FDs) can help improving patient-specific intervention and predicting treatment outcome. However, when...
The angiographic visualization of the stent during mechanical thrombectomy (MT) may provide information regarding the characteristics of the underlying occluding clot, device-clot interactio...
Cell-free DNA is an emerging biomarker. While donor fraction may detect graft events in heart transplant recipients, the prognostic value of total nuclear cell-free DNA (ncfDNA) itself is la...
We examined the hemodynamic profile of bioprosthetic aortic valves in patients on hemodialysis (HD), longitudinally, and assess the incidence of adverse changes detected by echocardiography....
Switching bipolar radiofrequency ablation (bRFA) is a thermal treatment modality used for liver cancer treatment that is capable of producing larger, more confluent and more regular thermal ...
Tumor spill during surgical treatment is associated with adverse oncologic outcomes in many solid tumors. However, in minimally invasive hysterectomy for endometrial cancer, intraoperative t...
Clinical trials have demonstrated that Trametes robinophila Murr (Huaier granule) can inhibit recurrence and metastasis after hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) resection, but its efficacy as an...
Carcinoid heart disease (CHD) is a rare complication of hormonally active neuroendocrine tumors that often requires surgical intervention. There are limited data on cardiac implantable elect...
To analyze whether cardiac surgical residents can perform their first surgeries without compromising patients' safety or outcomes, by comparing their performance and results to those of seni...
Electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria have been proposed to localize the site of origin (SOO) of outflow region ventricular arrhythmias (VAs). Many factors influence the QRS morphology of VAs ...
Surgical registration that maps surgical space onto image space plays an important role in surgical navigation. Accurate surgical registration can help surgeons efficiently locate surgical i...
Accurate segmentation of breast mass in 3D automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) images plays an important role in qualitative and quantitative ABUS image analysis. Yet this task is challenging...
To evaluate the likelihood of a future cardiovascular event (i.e., in-hospital mortality or cardiovascular disease [CVD] complications/interventions) among patients with CVD and major depres...
Carotid artery stenting (CAS) has been indicated as an alternative to carotid endarterectomy in high risk patients. Sometimes, an aortic arch can be anatomically unfavourable for CAS. Herein...
Electrocardiographic imaging is an imaging modality that has been introduced recently to help in visualizing the electrical activity of the heart and consequently guide the ablation therapy ...
