Infectious keratitis is the most common entities of corneal diseases, in which pathogen grows in the cornea leading to inflammation and destruction of the corneal tissues. Infectious keratitis is a medical emergency, for which a rapid and…
Keratitis is an inflammatory corneal condition responsible for 10% of visual impairment in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), with bacteria, fungi, or amoeba as the most common infection etiologies. While an accurate and timely…
The ability to perceive polarization-related entoptic phenomena arises from the dichroism of macular pigments held in Henle's fiber layer of the retina and can be inhibited by retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration, which…
The macular pigment (MP) in the radially-oriented Henle fibers that surround the foveola enables the ability to perceive the orientation of polarized blue light through an entoptic phenomena known as the Haidinger's brush. The MP has been…
Medical Imaging is one of the growing fields in the world of computer vision. In this study, we aim to address the Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) problem as one of the open challenges in medical imaging. In this research, we propose a new lesion…
The paper proposes a new fragmentation mechanism of dendrite arms. The theoretical basis of this mechanism is a shift in the thermodynamical equilibrium at the solid-liquid interface due to the presence of elastic energy. This effect is…
Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by the degradation of the myelin sheath in the central nervous system, leading to neurological impairments. In this work, we analyze a reaction-diffusion model derived from…
Huntington's disease (HD) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expanded CAG repeat in the coding sequence of the huntingtin protein. Initially, it predominantly affects medium-sized spiny neurons (MSSNs) of the corpus…
Image synthesis approaches, e.g., generative adversarial networks, have been popular as a form of data augmentation in medical image analysis tasks. It is primarily beneficial to overcome the shortage of publicly accessible data and…
We develop a model which predicts the contact angle hysteresis introduced by smooth micropatterned defects. The defects are modeled by a smooth function and the contact angle hysteresis is explained using a tangent line solution. When the…
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is considered as etiological agent of the lethal liver disease hepatitis B. Globally, hepatitis B is recognized as one of the prevailing infectious diseases with a significant impact on human health. In spite of…
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of inherited degenerative eye diseases characterized by mutations in the genetic structure of the photoreceptors that leads to the premature death of both rod and cone photoreceptors. Defects in…
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is an asymptomatic retinal disease which may result in loss of vision. There is limited access to high-quality relevant retinal images and poor understanding of the features defining sub-classes of…
Fully-supervised lesion recognition methods in medical imaging face challenges due to the reliance on large annotated datasets, which are expensive and difficult to collect. To address this, synthetic lesion generation has become a…
The singlet-doublet dark matter (SDDM) model is a well-motivated WIMP framework that accommodates viable dark matter over a broad range of parameter space. In this work, we explore the possibility of TeV-scale leptogenesis within two…
Several studies suggest that one possible cause of impaired wound healing is failed or insufficient lymphangiogenesis, that is the formation of new lymphatic capillaries. Although many mathematical models have been developed to describe the…
The integration of artificial intelligence into digital pathology has the potential to automate and improve various tasks, such as image analysis and diagnostic decision-making. Yet, the inherent variability of tissues, together with the…
Dendrites with developed sidebranches are numerically studied with a coupled map lattice model. The competitive dynamics among sidebranches determines the shape of the envelope. The envelope has a parabolic shape near the tip of the…
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is an eye disease which arises due to diabetes mellitus. It might cause vision loss and blindness. To prevent irreversible vision loss, early detection through systematic screening is crucial. Although researchers…
Endothelial cells are responsible for the formation of the capillary blood vessel network. We describe a system of endothelial cells by means of two-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations of point-like particles. Cells' motion is…
