Background: Radiation-induced hypothyroidism (RHT) is one of the side effects that might have an impact on quality life patients with breast cancer treated radiotherapy. Objectives: The aim current study was to evaluate performances Lyman-Kutcher-Burman (LKB) and Log-Logistic models in prediction (HT) as well estimation model parameters for incidence RHT among cancer. Methods: Fifty-two radiati...

Contact-sports can elicit concussions, which impacts autonomic function, as well repetitive head trauma, where function has not yet been assessed. Purpose To determine if differences in exist among three groups (CTRL: healthy non-contact-sport participant; RHT: trauma contact-sport CONC: previous concussion). Methods Forty men (16) and women (24), aged 18-37 (22±3), participated. Participants w...

 Introduction: Right-sided Heart Thrombi (RHT) is detected by trans-thoracic echocardiography but coexistence of mobile and broad-based In-Situ thrombosis is a rare presentation.  Case presentation: We present a case of right atrial thrombosis in a 71 years old Caucasian man with history of corpulmonale who referred with tachypnea and dyspnea to the emergency department. The anticoagulant the...

We present a new approach for the coarse segmentation of tubular structures in 3D image data. Our algorithm, which requires only few initial values and minimal user interaction, can be used to initialise complex deformable models and is based on an extension of the randomized Hough transform (RHT), a robust method for low-dimensional parametric object detection. By means of a discrete Kalman fi...

Inspired by the recently remarkable successes of Sparse Representation (SR), Collaborative Representation (CR) and sparse graph, we present a novel hypergraph model named Regression-based Hypergraph (RH) which utilizes the regression models to construct the high quality hypergraphs. Moreover, we plug RH into two conventional hypergraph learning frameworks, namely hypergraph spectral clustering ...

Melanopsin, an opsin protein expressed in mammalian retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), makes them responsive to light. Such photosensitive RGCs form the retinohypothalamic tract (RHT) that provides signals to the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), the master regulator of circadian rhythms. The SCN is adjusted daily to the environmental day/night cycle by signal inputs incoming from the RHT. In the pres...

In this paper, we present a new approach for coarse segmentation of tubular anatomical structures in 3D image data. Our approach can be used to initialise complex deformable models and is based on an extension of the randomized Hough transform (RHT), a robust method for low-dimensional parametric object detection. In combination with a discrete Kalman lter, the object is tracked through 3D spac...
