Deep regression 2D-3D ultrasound registration for liver motion correction in focal tumour thermal ablation.

Liver tumour ablation procedures require accurate placement of the needle applicator at the tumour centroid. The lower-cost and real-time nature of ultrasound (US) has advantages over computed tomography for applicator guidance, however, in some patients, liver tumours may be occult on US and tumour mimics can make lesion identification challenging. Image registration techniques can aid in interpreting anatomical details and identifying tumours, but their clinical application has been hindered by the tradeoff between alignment accuracy and runtime performance, particularly when compensating for liver motion due to patient breathing or movement.

Three-dimensional complementary breast ultrasound (3D CBUS): Improving 3D spatial resolution uniformity with orthogonal images.

Background: With increasing evidence supporting three-dimensional (3D) automated breast (AB) ultrasound (US) for supplemental screening of breast cancer in increased-risk populations, including those with dense breasts and in limited-resource settings, there is an interest in developing more robust, cost-effective, and high-resolution 3DUS imaging techniques. Compared with specialized ABUS systems, our previously developed point-of-care 3D ABUS system addresses these needs and is compatible with any conventional US transducer, which offers a cost-effective solution and improved availability in clinical practice. While conventional US transducers have high in-plane resolution (axial and lateral), their out-of-plane resolution is constrained by the poor intrinsic elevational US resolution.

Reducing emotion dysregulation online in nonclinical population with compassion focused therapy and emotional competencies program: A randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: The present randomized controlled study aimed to evaluate the effects of two interventions on emotional dysregulation as a primary outcome and on depression, anxiety, stress, well-being, self-compassion and emotional competencies as secondary outcomes. Finally, the mediating role of emotional dysregulation as a core process in the effect of interventions on anxiety-depressive and stress symptoms was evaluated.

Methods: One hundred and seventy-nine individuals aged 18-68 years (M = 39, SD = 12.

A reduced carbohydrate diet improves glycemic regulation in hyperglycemic older people in a retirement home: the SAGE study.

Poor glucose regulation associated with gradual insulin resistance is a significant risk factor in several age-related chronic diseases. An eating plan that promotes a lower carbohydrate intake may have a beneficial effect on glucose metabolism. This study aimed to evaluate how a diet reduced in carbohydrate by 32% (RCHO) over a 2 month period would influence the metabolic profile of older individuals ( = 24) living in a retirement home (RH).

Psychosocial competences in the continuing training of French National Education professionals in 2024: A major issue in promoting health in school environment.

Objective: Promoting health, and in particular developing psychosocial competences, at school encourages the emancipation of pupils and creates a favourable school environment. Furthermore, by helping to improve academic success, they improve pupils' overall health. However, school professionals need to be trained to develop students' psychosocial competences.
