Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Adaptive Detail Preserving Modified Progressive Pca Thresholding Based Image DenoisingN. Anilkumar, S. Radhakrishnan, Shaik Syed Basha et al.Radiologists use medical imaging tools to assess the anatomy and function of interior organs. However, medical images are frequently distorted by various types of noise generated during the capture, transmission, and reconstruction operations, which can dramatically reduce image quality and hide critical diagnostic features. As a result, developing effective denoising algorithms that suppress noise while maintaining structural information remains a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 8 · 8 Sep 2026 · 529 accessesView PDFCite

Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractOn Destructive Peri-implant Bone LossAndre J. ViljoenDestructive peri-implant bone loss is distressing for both the patient and the treating dentist(s). In severe cases peri-implant bone loss may cause jawbone mutilation, making re-treatment highly complex or impossible and violating the treatment philosophy of “first, do no harm”. There are a multitude of causes of bone loss around a dental implant. These include, but are not limited to, … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 25 Nov 2019 · 7,472 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMedical Service of RobotsRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuToday, robots have not only penetrated to create microchips in electronics but also in medicine, where it helps to perform difficult operations, especially where precision is needed and the size is small and any human error could be fatal to the patient. Robots assist the doctor in heart, brain, kidney operations, not to mention bone implants and repair of damaged … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 24 Apr 2019 · 7,542 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMEDICAL IMAGE SEGMENTATION FOR ANATOMICAL KNOWLEDGE EXTRACTIONMs Maya Eapen, Reeba KorahComputed Tomography-Angiography (CTA) images of the abdomen, followed by precise segmentation and subsequent computation of shape based features of liver play an important role in hepatic surgery, patient/donor diagnosis during liver transplantation and at various treatment stages. Nevertheless, the issues like intensity similarity and Partial Volume Effect (PVE) between the neighboring organs; left the task of liver segmentation critical.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCHRONIC NEONATAL DIAZOXIDE THERAPY IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH ADVERSE EFFECTSMichele M. Cox, Christopher C. Wendler, Ildiko Erdelyi et al.Diazoxide is an ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) agonist that has been shown to neuroprotective effects. These observations raise the possibility that diazoxide may have potential as a therapeutic agent for other applications. This study investigated (1) the long term effects of chronic neonatal administration of diazoxide and (2) the role of KATP on murin behavior and neurohistology. C57B/6J pups were … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2014 · 7,447 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBLOOD VESSELS EXTRACTION USING MATHEMATICAL MORPHOLOGYNidhal Khdhair El Abbadi, Enas Hamood Al SaadiThe retinal vasculature is composed of the arteries and veins with their tributaries which are visible within the retinal image. The segmentation and measurement of the retinal vasculature is of primary interest in the diagnosis and treatment of a number of systemic and ophthalmologic conditions. The accurate segmentation of the retinal blood vessels is often an essential prerequisite step in … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 10 · 12 Sep 2013 · 7,095 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTotal Ankle Replacement: A ReviewA. Jariwala, S. Sripada, A. PillaiDespite the initial failures of ankle arthroplasty, the newer generations of total ankle replacement have shown good medium term results. Reasons stated for this change include a better overall understanding of ankle biomechanics; lessons learnt from hip and knee arthroplasty, improved ankle implant designs that better replicate the human anatomy and finally in the development of foot and ankle surgery … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 17 Jan 2013 · 7,481 accessesView PDFCite
