Abstract Introduction Mitral Valve (MV) 3D structural data can be easily obtained using standard transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) devices but quantitative pre- and intraoperative volume analysis of the MV is presently not feasible in the cardiac operation room (OR).Finite element method (FEM) modelling is necessary to carry out precise and in
An FPGA-Based Solution for Computing a Local Stationarity Measure From Satellite Data
The analysis of data variability from in-situ observations is essential for scientists and space mission controllers.Given the limited resources available on-board a spacecraft as well as the presence of the Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) devices in modern spacecraft architectures, an efficient real-time monitoring solution should be deploye
Femoral Physeal-Sparing ACL Reconstruction With Iliotibial Band Autograft Over-the-Top With Associated Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis
Background: Injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the pediatric population have been exponentially increasing over the years.However, surgical techniques typically employed for ACL reconstruction (ACL-R) in adults may injure the physes of skeletally immature patients, resulting in growth disturbances.Indications: Currently, ACL-R is r
FLT3 inhibition upregulates OCT4/NANOG to promote maintenance and TKI resistance of FLT3-ITD+ acute myeloid leukemia
Abstract Up to 30% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients face unfavorable outcomes due to the FMS-like receptor tyrosine kinase-3 (FLT3) internal tandem duplication (ITD) mutation.Although FLT3 inhibitors show encouraging outcomes in treatment, Video Servers they fail to eliminate leukemia stem cells, the origin of persistent and resistant lesio
Insights into genetic and epigenetic determinants with impact on vitamin D signaling and cancer association studies: The case of thyroid cancer
Vitamin D is a key regulator of calcium metabolism and has been implicated as a cancer preventive Supplement agent.However, clinical studies have revealed conflicting results on its cancer preventive properties, attributed in part to multiple metabolic and regulatory factors susceptible to affect individual responses to exogenous vitamin D.Vitamin
