LR-3 and LR-4 Lesions Are More Likely to Be Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Transplant Patients with LR-5 or LR-TR Lesions.

Conference Dig Dis Sci · November 2022 BACKGROUND: Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) classifies liver nodules from LR-1 to LR-5 based on risk for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It is challenging to know the nature of the LR-3 and LR-4 lesions. AIMS: To test our hypothesis that ... Full text Link to item Cite

Deep neural networks trained for segmentation are sensitive to brightness changes: Preliminary results

Conference Progress in Biomedical Optics and Imaging Proceedings of SPIE · January 1, 2021 Medical images of a patient may have a significantly different appearance depending on imaging modality (e.g. MRI vs. CT), sequence type (e.g., T1-weighted MRI vs. T2-weighted MRI), and even manufacturer/model of equipment used for the same modality and se ...

Use of Skeletal Muscle Index as a Predictor of Wait-List Mortality in Patients With End-Stage Liver Disease.

Conference Liver Transpl · September 2020 The aim of this study is to validate a proposed definition of sarcopenia in predicting wait-list mortality. We retrospectively evaluated 355 adults (age ≥18 years) with cirrhosis listed for first-time LT from January 1, 2010, to April 1, 2018 from our cent ... Full text Link to item Cite

Pre-Transplant Hepatic Steatosis (fatty liver) Predicts Chronic Graft-Vs-Host Disease but Does Not Affect Mortality

Conference Blood · November 13, 2019 Introduction: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HCT) remains the only curative treatment for many hematologic conditions. However, significant mortality risk and risk of severe graft-vs-host disease (GvHD) limit its usefulness. So ... Full text Cite

140-LB: NGM313, a Novel Activator of b-Klotho/FGFR1c, Improves Insulin Resistance and Reduces Hepatic Fat in Obese, Nondiabetic Subjects

Conference Diabetes · June 1, 2019 Background: NGM313 is a humanized monoclonal antibody activator of β-klotho/FGFR1c that has been shown to reduce HOMA-IR in obese subjects. This study compared the effects of a single dose of NGM313 vs. daily pioglitazone (PIO) on insulin sensitivi ... Full text Cite

Effects of the organic additives on dental zirconia ceramics: structural and mechanical properties

Conference Journal of Sol Gel Science and Technology · May 1, 2015 Zirconia ceramics have gained lot of interest as restorative materials because of remarkable mechanical properties; such as high strength and toughness, good biocompatibility, and aesthetic properties. But the problem with zirconia is inertness with the bo ... Full text Cite

Synthesis of stabilized zirconia hollow nanoparticles: sugar as a template

Conference Journal of Sol Gel Science and Technology · May 1, 2015 Hollow zirconia (HZ) nanoparticles (NPs) are synthesized by a simple, versatile, and an efficient methodology based on sol–gel technique. Before gelation, zirconia sols of different molarities are treated ultrasonically for 10 min with sugar as a template. ... Full text Cite

Fe3O4 stabilized zirconia: structural, mechanical and optical properties

Conference Journal of Sol Gel Science and Technology · May 1, 2015 Zirconia (ZrO2) is one of the most well studied transition-metal oxides in the optical and biological fields. The applications area of ZrO2 can be increased by addition of metal oxides. Aim of this study is to determine the effect of ... Full text Cite
