Twinkling effect in detecting kidney stones by Sung, Wei Pei

“…Although the medical condition will not result in death, the possibility of recurrence increases as compared to those who have never had one. A Computed Tomography (CT) scan is usually the most effective way to detect kidney stones, since it holds a true positive rate of over 90%. …”

A computational program for automated surgical planning of fenestrated endovascular repair by Dillon, Tom M., Liang, Patric, Schermerhorn, Marc L., Roche, Ellen T.

“…To maintain blood flow to major abdominal vessels, a fenestrated endograft can be used, whereby physicians modify commercial endografts by creating fenestrations based on preoperative computed tomography imaging. The manual process of aligning patient-specific visceral anatomy onto endografts can be tedious and subject to human error. …”

Two for tau: automated model discovery reveals two-stage tau aggregation dynamics in Alzheimer’s disease by Stockman, CA, Goriely, A, Kuhl, E, Jerusalem, A, Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative

“…We propose an innovative approach that uses constitutive neural networks to autonomously discover bell-shaped aggregation functions with multiple peaks from clinical positron emission tomography (PET) data of misfolded tau protein. Our method reveals previously overlooked two-stage aggregation dynamics by uncovering a twoterm ordinary differential equation that links the local accumulation rate to the tau concentration. …”

Global whole lithosphere isostasy : implications for surface elevations, structure, strength, and densities of the continental lithosphere by Lamb, Simon, Moore, James Daniel Paul, Perez-Gussinye, Marta, Stern, Tim

“…We show that a crustal model for Antarctica, assuming WLI and using these density contrasts, provides a close fit to estimates of crustal thickness from surface wave tomography and gravity observations. We use a global model of WLI as a framework to assess factors controlling topography, showing that plausible regional variations in crustal and mantle densities, together with uncertainties in the crustal and conductive lithospheric thicknesses, are sufficient to account for global elevations without invoking dynamic topography greater than a few hundred meters. …”
