The visual naturalness of a rendered character's motion is an important factor in computer graphics work, and the rendering of jumping motions is no exception to this. However, the computational mecha...
Calcinosis, a common complication in juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM), affects up to 40% of patients and can be associated with uncontrolled disease activity and morbidity....
This article reports on a comprehensive dataset detailing positioning errors in a 3-axis milling center machine (MCM) with computer numerical control (CNC) specifically curated for thermal error compe...
Bone regeneration in the mandibular angle region after reduction mandibuloplasty may compromise the aesthetics of the lower face and thus lead to revision surgery. Bone quality is known to play an imp...
The bone density of the mandibular angle immediately after surgery (BD) was determined as the grey level in computed tomography (CT) images. Based on the immediate postoperative and long-term follow-u...
23 patients (46 mandibular angles) were included in this study. The average BD was 907.09 ± 111.89 HU. The mean V...
CT images can provide a quantitative assessment of mandibular bone quality. BD may influence the volumes of bone regeneration in different areas of the mandibular angle portion after reduction mandibu...
The structure and function of the human anterolateral abdominal wall have been thoroughly described. However, there has been limited anatomical study of the pyramidalis muscle and its arterial supply....
A retrospective study of 32 computed tomography angiography scans of the abdominal wall of adult women was performed to assess the prevalence (bilateral or unilateral presence, or absence), morphology...
Pyramidalis prevalence was bilateral in 75% of computed tomography angiography studies (24/32), unilateral in 6.3% (2/32) and absent in 18.8% (6/32). Of the five patterns of pyramidalis arterial suppl...
In this computed tomography angiography study of women, five patterns of Pyramidalis arterial supply were identified. In the majority of cases, the pyramidalis derived its arterial supply from an excl...
In human microbiome studies, mediation analysis has recently been spotlighted as a practical and powerful analytic tool to survey the causal roles of the microbiome as a mediator to explain the observ...
The fungus Malassezia globosa is often responsible for superficial mycoses posing significant treatment challenges because of the unfavourable side effects of available antifungal drugs. To reduce pot...
This study aimed to retrospectively assess the safety and efficacy of radioactive iodine-125 (I-125) seed implantation for liver malignancies in challenging locations....
Between December 2015 and December 2021, 49 patients with 60 liver malignancies in challenging locations who underwent computed tomography (CT)-guided I-125 seed implantation were retrospectively anal...
The technical success rate was 100%. The median follow-up duration was 12 months (range, 2-68 months). The mean OS and PFS were 17.58 months (95% CI: 13.64-21.52 months) and 13.14 months (95% CI: 10.3...
CT-guided radioactive I-125 implantation could be a safe and effective alternative with promising survival benefits and high local control rates for liver malignancies in challenging locations....
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) play a pivotal role in modern material science, offering unique properties such as flexibility, substantial pore space, distinctive structure, and large surface area. R...
Ex vivo perfusion of transplant-declined human organs has emerged as a promising platform to study the response of an organ to novel therapeutic strategies. However, to fully realize the capability of...
We use ex vivo cold infusion scanning (EXCIS) with contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) to quantify perfusion in kidneys preserved ex vivo. EXCIS-CT computes three complementary metrics for whol...
These metrics were applied to a series of six transplant-declined human kidneys, which demonstrated a range of anatomies and perfusion. Lastly, two transplant-declined human kidneys were imaged before...
EXCIS-CT provides metrics that can be used to characterize whole organ perfusion and vascular function....
