Presegmenter Cascaded Framework for Mammogram Mass Segmentation by Urvi Oza, Bakul Gohel, Pankaj Kumar, Parita Oza

“…The first-stage segmentation model of the cascade framework is used to generate a saliency map to establish a coarse region of interest (ROI), effectively narrowing the focus to probable mass regions. The proposed presegmenter attention (PSA) blocks are introduced in the second-stage segmentation model to enable dynamic adaptation to the most informative regions within the mammogram images based on the generated saliency map. …”

Age Differences in Long Term Outcomes of Coronary Patients Treated with Drug Eluting Stents at a Tertiary Medical Center by Nicolas W. Shammas, Gail A. Shammas, Peter Sharis, Michael Jerin

“…At 2 years follow up, younger versus older patients had the following outcomes respectively: TLF 27.7% versus 25.5% (P=0.71), TLR 24.8% versus 21.4% (P=0.52), cardiac death 3.4% versus 2.5% (P=0.75) and definite and probable stent thrombosis (2.0% versus 1.0%). Multivariate analysis showed that renal failure (odds ratio: 2.55, P=0.045), number of stents per patient (odds ratio: 1.60, P=0.001) and younger age (odds ratio: 0.97; P=0.010), but not gender, diabetes or type of DES stent (EES versus PES) predicted TLF. …”
