Optical coherence tomography-derived texture-based radiomics features identify eyes with intraocular inflammation in the HAWK clinical trial

Background and objective: Intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF agents is the first-line treatment for patients with neovascular-age related macular degeneration (nAMD).One unique serious adverse event that may be associated with these agents is intraocular inflammation (IOI).The main purpose of this analysis was to evaluate the potential presence of

Preeclampsia impedes foetal kidney development by delivering placenta-derived exosomes to glomerular endothelial cells

Abstract Background Foetal renal dysplasia is still the main cause of Arm Chair (set of 4) adult renal disease.Placenta-derived exosomes are an important communication tool, and they may play an important role in placental (both foetal and maternal) function.We hypothesize that in women with preeclampsia, foetal renal dysplasia is impeded by delive

Angle-Only Filtering of a Maneuvering Target in 3D

We consider the state estimation of a maneuvering target in 3D using bearing and elevation measurements from a passive infrared search and track (IRST) sensor.Since the range is not observable, the sensor must perform a maneuver to observe the state of the target.The target moves with a nearly constant turn (NCT) in the XY-plane and nearly constant
