Studying ionic liquids (ILs) through computational methods is one of the ways to accelerate progress in the design of novel and potentially green materials optimized for task-specific applications. Th...
Normative values for intracardiac and extracardiac vascular structures help in understanding normal growth and changes over time in children; this normative data is not currently available for ECG-gat...
Our study reports systolic and diastolic ECG-gated CTA Z-scores along with normative curves in relation to BSA for the aortic root, aorta, and aortic arch in children....
• Normative data for intracardiac and extracardiac vascular structures in the pediatric population are available for echocardiography, cardiac MRI and non-ECG gated CTA. • Z-scores with standard devia...
• Allometric exponent was derived for each parameter and the parameter/body surface area (BSA) was established. • This is the first ECG-gated CTA study to provide normative en face systolic, diastolic...
This study aimed to determine the acetabular position to optimize hip biomechanics after transposition osteotomy of the acetabulum (TOA), a specific form of periacetabular osteotomy, in patients with ...
We created patient-specific finite-element models of 46 patients with hip dysplasia to simulate 12 virtual TOA scenarios: lateral rotation to achieve a lateral center-edge angle (LCEA) of 30°, 35°, an...
The prevalence of hips in the optimal position was highest (65.2%) at an LCEA of 30°, regardless of the amount of anterior rotation. While the acetabular position minimizing peak CP varied among patie...
Acetabular reorientation to an LCEA of between 30° and 35° with an additional 15° of anterior rotation may serve as a biomechanics-based target zone for surgeons performing TOA in most patients with h...
This study provides a biomechanics-based target for refining acetabular reorientation strategies during TOA while considering morphological factors that may limit the required range of motion....
The molecular mechanisms underlying epitope recognition by T cell receptors (TCRs) are critical for activating T cell immune responses and rationally designing TCR-based therapeutics. Single-cell sequ...
To evaluate the accuracy of direct computed tomographic venography (DCTV) and duplex ultrasound (DUS) in the identification of iliac vein obstruction in highly symptomatic patients with severe chronic...
this study involved patients who had advanced CVD (CEAP C3-6). All patients underwent DCTV, venous duplex scanning, and IVUS. The presence of iliac vein obstruction was detected, and degree of obstruc...
of 94 patients with CVD, IVUS identified iliac vein obstruction in 55 (58.5%) patients (25.5% was grade 1, 27.3% was grade 2, 47.3% was grade 3). The sensitivity, specificity of DCTV in diagnosing obs...
DUS is a reasonable initial imaging modality for the identification of significant iliac vein obstruction. DCTV provides an accurate reproducible imaging for accurate estimation needed for treatment p...
Direct CT Venography provides accurate reproducible radiological information required for treatment planning of patients with Iliac vein obstruction including accurate assessment of site of obstructio...
The G protein-coupled receptor 40 (GPR40) is known to exert a significant influence on neurogenesis and neurodevelopment within the central nervous system of both humans and rodents. Research findings...
Computed tomography-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) enhances the specificity of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) to that of the most specific non-invasive imaging techniques, w...
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary field focused on designing and utilizing computer technology, underlining the interaction interface between computers and humans. HCI aims to ge...
Temporal bone pneumatization (TBP) is influenced by age, sex, and race, and it seems to progress rapidly to puberty. However, the extent of TBP in childhood remains unclear....
To investigate the progression of TBP in children aged 1-18 years via three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of high-resolution computed tomography (CT) images....
A total of 432 temporal bones of 216 individuals aged 1-18 years with well-pneumatized mastoid antra on both sides were included in this retrospective work. We created 18 age groups, each with six boy...
The linear regression equations that considered age and volume for all cases (y...
TBP in boys was greater than that of girls at adolescence. It was possible to identify the specific periods of significant variation in the degree of pneumatization of temporal bone....
This study aims to verify the effectiveness of a deep neural network (DNN) in automatically identifying pulp calcification on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images....
This study retrospectively analysed 150 CBCT images. Pulp calcification was identified and manually annotated by three endodontists with 10 years of experience. A DNN model based on the U-Net architec...
The model achieved a sensitivity of 75.91 ± 2.84% in automatically identifying pulp calcification, with a specificity of 68.88 ± 2.35%, an accuracy of 72.78 ± 2.13%, and an AUC of 73.68 ± 3.09%. Accor...
The results indicate that the proposed method shows promise for identifying pulp calcification on CBCT images. Future research aims to expand the dataset and refine the model, thereby enhancing its cl...
