Progress in Renal Tumor Surgery: The Role of 3D Surgical Planning in Partial Nephrectomy
Abstract: Renal cell carcinoma is the most common form of kidney cancer, representing 2–3% of global cases, with the highest incidence in Western Europe. For small renal tumors, partial nephrectomy is the preferred treatment, where the tumor is surgically removed. This procedure does not affect oncological outcomes, allowing part of the kidney to remain functional. During tumor removal, the surgeon minimizes excessive bleeding and improves visibility by cutting off the arterial …

A Robust Automatic Algorithm for Extraction of Blood Vasculatures from Retinal Images
Abstract: AbstractIn this proposed algorithm, an efficient method for extraction and segmentation of blood vasculatures from the retinal eye images is proposed. For finding the features and abnormalities like Fovea, macula, Red lesions and exudates, blood vasculature extraction is one of the most important steps. The proposed algorithm uses tactical combination of Green, L and Y channel of Retinal image, which gives a more accurate and efficient result than the single …

A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Health Instruction Module (HIM) on Knowledge Regarding Varicose Vein and DVT and its Preventive Measures Among Laborers in Selected Small Scale Industries at Greater Noida
Abstract: Varicose veins square measure veins that became enlarged and tortuous. The term usually refers to theveins on the leg, though unhealthy veins will occur elsewhere. Veins have leaflet valves to stop bloodfrom flowing backwards (retrograde flow or reflux). Leg muscles pump the veins to come back bloodto the Heart (the calf muscle pump mechanism), against the results of gravity. When veins becomeunhealthy, the leaflets of the valves now not meet …

Microalbuminuria as an Independent Screening Tool in Patients with Myocardial Infarction
Abstract: Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) is a condition in which there is an inadequate supply of blood and oxygen to a portion of myocardium; most common cause being atherosclerosis of coronary vessels. Microalbuminuria (MAU) is defined as urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) of 30–300 mg/g. It is considered as marker of generalized endothelial dysfunction and vasculopathy and suggested to contribute to the formation of atherosclerotic lesion and ultimately leading to risk of …

Automated Vessel Segmentation of Retinal Vessels using Hybrid Region Information
Abstract: AbstractRecent researches state that the categorization of retinal vessels into artery/vein (A/V) is a critical phase for automating the detection of vascular adjustments and for the calculation of function symptoms related to numerous systemic illnesses which includes diabetes, high blood pressure, and different cardiovascular situations. This paper affords an automatic method for A/V class, primarily based on the evaluation of a graph extracted from the retinal vasculature. The proposed method …

Arterial Stiffness as an Antecedent in the Pathogenesis of Primary Hypertension
Abstract: Over the past 50 years, it has been postulated that abnormality in resistance vessels play an important and critical role in the pathogenesis of hypertension as these vessels maintain the steady-flow hemodynamic in the circulation. Accordingly, antihypertensive therapies were designed to alter the peripheral vascular resistance or cardiac output, resulting in a reduction in mean arterial pressure. However, in recent years, many studies have emphasized the role of arterial stiffness …
