Analysis of scoliosis trunk deformities using ICA
(2012-07-02)
This paper describes a method for analyzing scoliosis trunk deformities using Independent Component Analysis (ICA). Our hypothesis is that ICA can capture the scoliosis deformities visible on the trunk. Unlike Principal ...
Prediction of scoliosis curve type based on the analysis of trunk surface topography
(2010-04)
Scoliosis treatment strategy is generally chosen according to the severity and type of the spinal curve. Currently, the curve type is determined from X-rays whose acquisition can be harmful for the patient. We propose in ...
Ammonia‐lowering strategies for the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy

Caspase-3 dependent peritubular capillary dysfunction is pivotal for transition from acute to chronic kidney disease after acute ischemia-reperfusion injury
(American Physiological Society, 2021-08-02)
Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major risk factor for chronic renal failure. Caspase-3, an effector responsible for apoptosis execution, is activated within peritubular capillary (PTC) in the early stage of IRI-induced ...
