Precise evaluation of the feeders, fistulous points, and draining veins plays a key role for successful embolization of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVF). Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is a gold standard diagnostic tool to assess the exact angioarchitecture of DAVFs. With the advent of new image postprocessing techniques, we lately have been able to apply image fusion techniques with two different image sets obtained with flat panel detector rotational angiography. This new technique can provide additional and better pretherapeutic information of DAVFs over the conventional 2D and 3D angiographies. In addition, it can be used during the endovascular treatment to help the accurate and precise navigation of the microcatheter and microguidwire inside the vessels and identify the proper location of microcatheter in the targeted shunting pouch. In this study, we briefly review the process of an image fusion technique and introduce our clinical application for treating DAVFs, especially focused on the transvenous embolization.

Improved deep canonical correlation fusion approach for detection of early mild cognitive impairment.

Med Biol Eng Comput

January 2025

Non-Invasive Imaging and Diagnostic Laboratory, Department of Applied Mechanics and Biomedical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai, India.

Detection of early mild cognitive impairment (EMCI) is clinically challenging as it involves subtle alterations in multiple brain sub-anatomic regions. Among different brain regions, the corpus callosum and lateral ventricles are primarily affected due to EMCI. In this study, an improved deep canonical correlation analysis (CCA) based framework is proposed to fuse magnetic resonance (MR) image features from lateral ventricular and corpus callosal structures for the detection of EMCI condition.

Research on bearing fault diagnosis based on a multimodal method.

Math Biosci Eng

December 2024

School of Information Engineering, Nantong Institute of Technology, Nantong 226002, Jiangsu, China.

As an essential component of mechanical systems, bearing fault diagnosis is crucial to ensure the safe operation of the equipment. However, vibration data from bearings often exhibit non-stationary and nonlinear features, which complicates fault diagnosis. To address this challenge, this paper introduces a novel multi-scale time-frequency and statistical features fusion model (MTSF-FM).

Background: Low-value care refers to the provision of health services that confer little or no benefit to patients, or have the potential to incur unwarranted harms. A breadth of literature exists investigating geographical variations in rates of potential low-value interventions for musculoskeletal pain. This scoping review aimed to examine the provision of low-value care for osteoarthritis and lower back pain by degree of rurality (e.

Background: Diabetic myocardial disorder (DbMD, evidenced by abnormal echocardiography or cardiac biomarkers) is a form of stage B heart failure (SBHF) at high risk for progression to overt HF. SBHF is defined by abnormal LV morphology and function and/or abnormal cardiac biomarker concentrations.

Objective: To compare the evolution of four DbMD groups based on biomarkers alone, systolic and diastolic dysfunction alone, or their combination.

Many membrane proteins on the cell surface are constantly internalized from, and re-delivered to, the plasma membrane. This endocytic cycling, which relies on accurate SNARE-mediated fusion of vesicles containing cargo proteins, is highly important for the function of many proteins such as signaling receptors. While the SNARE proteins that mediate fusion during specific events, such as neurotransmitter and hormone release, in mammalian cells has been heavily studied, the SNARE proteins that mediate surface delivery of specific cargo such as the receptors for these released factors are still not known.
