High serum concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor (S-VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (S-bFGF) are associated with unfavorable clinical characteristics in cancer. The combined effect of S-VEGF and S-bFGF on the survival of 200 patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) was studied. High S-VEGF and S-bFGF at diagnosis were associated with poor survival with the medians, the h...

Estimation of the camera intrinsic calibration parameters is a prerequisite to a wide variety of vision tasks related to motion and stereo analysis. A major breakthrough related to the intrinsic calibration problem was the introduction in the early nineties of the autocalibration paradigm, according to which calibration is achieved not with the aid of a calibration pattern but by observing a nu...

Given the explosion in number and types of sensor nodes, the next generation of sensor management systems must focus on identifying and acquiring valuable information from this potential flood of sensor data. Thus an emerging problem is deciding what to produce, where, for whom, and when. Identifying and making tradeoffs involved in information production is a difficult problem that market-base...

Abstract Introduction Medication nonadherence is a public health concern and can impact clinical trial data quality. Traditional compliance collection (pill counts, diaries) be unreliable in central nervous system trials. As such, strategies such as adherence technologies may play key role outcomes. AiCure, computer vision-assisted dosing mobile application (app), collects connects patients to ...
