We also made a comparison study of using lesion region images and full OCT images on this task. Experiments shows that using the full OCT images can obtain better performance. Different deep neural networks such as AlexNet, VGG-16, GooLeNet and ResNet-50 were compared, and the modified ResNet-50 is more suitable for predicting the effectiveness of…[Read more]

f OS were age at diagnosis, race, marital status, insurance, grade, surgery and visceral metastases. There was an interaction between the HR+/HER2+ subtype and other metastases (except bone metastases) for prognosis. Tumour subtype, as a significant prognostic factor, warrants further investigation.

There were substantial differences in OS…[Read more]

As cases of COVID-19 climb worldwide, academic medical centers (AMCs) are scrambling to balance the increasing demand for medical services while maintaining safe learning environments. The scale and nature of the current pandemic, limitations on key resources, risks of transmission, and the impact on trainee wellbeing pose additional challenges to…[Read more]

After total enteral nutrition and hormone therapy for 5 months, his abdominal pain and joint symptoms did not improve, so we started gene-based precision therapy with recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-a receptor II IgG Fc fusion protein, which may play an important role in restricting TNF-α-induced NF-κB signaling. After 3 weeks, i…[Read more]

psychological well-being.Recently, the English courts have dealt with a number high-profile, emotive disputes over the care of very ill children, including Charlie Gard, Alfie Evans, and Tafida Raqeeb. It is perhaps fair to say such cases have become a regular feature of the courts in England. But is the situation similar in other jurisdictions?…[Read more]

CONCLUSIONS Prevalence of HAIs and resistance rates are high compared to ICUs in other European countries. Risk factors for both acquisition of HAI and mortality were identified. Large-scale studies are necessary to look at HAIs in adult ICUs in Serbia. OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate injuries occurring in the larynx of patients intubated in…[Read more]

Patients with diabetes continued to exhibit a high risk for cardiovascular and renal events despite achieving satisfactory glycemic, blood pressure and lipid targets. Studies evaluating new diabetes medications focused on cardiovascular events, largely overlooking heart failure (HF). The latter has recently been recognised as a major cause of…[Read more]

The size, shape, and underlying chemistries of drug delivery particles are key parameters which govern their ultimate performance in vivo. Responsive particles are desirable for triggered drug delivery, achievable through architecture change and biodegradation to control in vivo fate. Here, polymeric materials are synthesized with linear,…[Read more]

The overall content of the PU phase in the blends significantly affected the mechanical properties, thermal stability, and crystallization behavior of the materials. The overall crystallization rate of PLLA was noticeably decreased by the incorporation of PU. At the same time, polarized light optical microscopy (PLOM) analysis revealed that the…[Read more]

This finding was confirmed with molecular dynamics simulations that also indicated how GEM approaches the membrane, which could be useful for guiding the design of drug delivery systems. The experimental and simulation results are consistent with the preferential attachment of GEM onto cancerous cells and highlight the role of SM on drug-cell…[Read more]

On average, ∼69% of 1 µm particles exit the system when the windows are open.The determination of the particle dynamics in the human acinar airways having millions of alveoli is critical in preventing potential health problems and delivering therapeutic particles effectively to target locations. Despite its complex geometrical structure and co…[Read more]
