Article Synopsis
- The study assessed how well pre-trained deep learning models can grade hepatic steatosis (HS) in patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) using ultrasound images of the liver and kidney.
- A total of 112 NAFLD patients underwent ultrasound examinations, and various deep learning models (like InceptionV3 and DenseNet201) were trained and tested on cropped images that were either augmented or not.
- The models showed high accuracy in HS grading, particularly DenseNet201 with augmented data, which may serve as a useful tool for diagnosing and grading NAFLD alongside radiologist assessments.
This work describes the reaction of the potentially tetradentate Schiff-base ligand -(2-pyridylmethy)-3-methoxysalicylaldimine (HL) with UO(OCMe)·2HO and UO(NO)· 6HO in MeOH in the absence or presence of an external base, respectively. The product from these reactions is the mononuclear complex [UO(L)] (). Its structure has been determined by single-crystal, X-ray crystallography.

The cluster consists of a tetrahedral arrangement of four Th ions centered on the fifth ion, which is the first characterized Th complex. The analysis of its structure reveals that this is a Kuratowski-type coordination compound.

Ultrasound (US) shear wave elastography (SWE) is a relatively new, popular, non-invasive technique among radiologists.

A custom-made, two-dimensional perfusion digital subtraction angiography (PDSA) algorithm has been implemented to quantify outcomes of endovascular treatment of critical limb ischemia (CLI), assist intra-procedural decision-making, and enhance clinical outcomes.
Methods: The study was approved by the Hospital's Ethics Committee.
