In this paper, an iterative super-resolution reconstruction method is introduced for license plate recognition. A high-resolution image of the license plate is reconstructed by fusing the information derived from a set of subpixel shifted low-resolution images. The reconstruction problem is formulated as a system of linear equations that is solved by using the simultaneous algebraic reconstruct...

PurposeTo describe interventional oncology therapies combined with immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy targeting the programmed death 1 pathway in patients different neoplasms.Materials and MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort study of who underwent tumor-directed thermal ablation, embolization, or selective internal radiation (SIRT) between January 1, 2011, May 2019, received anti–prog...

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common primary liver cancer and it represents the majority of cancer-related deaths in the world. More than 70% of patients present at an advanced stage, beyond potentially curative options. Ytrrium-90 selective internal radiation therapy (Y90-SIRT) with glass microspheres is rapidly gaining acceptance as a potential therapy for intermediate and advanced sta...

Epigenetic marks such as the acetylation of histones change substantially with aging or UV exposure. Increase histone could be related to decrease SIRT-1 deacetylase enzyme and its NAD+ co-factor produced by mitochondria at same time ATP. appears a highly relevant epigenetic marker cell activity while ATP mitochondrial materialize measurable consequences. The purpose this study was evaluate cap...

background: we aimed to identify the role of sirt 6 gene polymorphism rs350846 in human longevity. methods: sirt 6 c/g genotypes were determined using taqman snp genotyping assays in 169 long-lived inhabitants (lg group aged 90-110 yr), 158 healthy internal controls (internal control group; aged 26-82 yr) and 176 healthy external controls (external control group; aged 20-82 yr) without a family...

Radioembolization (RE), also termed selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT), has been gradually introduced to the clinical arsenal of cytoreductive modalities in recent years. There is growing evidence for efficiency in liver tumors of various entities, with the most prominent ones being hepatocellular carcinoma, colorectal cancer, and neuroendocrine tumors. Hepatic metastases of numerous o...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of switching from sterile water to 5 % glucose (G5W) for the administration of yttrium-90 ((90)Y)-resin microspheres on the total activity of (90)Y administered (expressed as a proportion of the prescribed/calculated activity), as well as the number of cases of stasis and the reported incidence of discomfort during the selective int...

In this study, we proposed the new reconstruction techniques for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using filtered back projection (FBP) or simultaneous reconstruction technique (SIRT). We converted the k-space which was acquired by conventional phase-encoding schemes from Cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates and created the projection. The linear interpolation and the sinc interpolation we...
