ROBUST IMAGE SEGMENTATION USING FUZZY C-MEANS CLUSTERING WITH SPATIAL INFORMATION BASED ON TOTAL GENERALIZED VARIATION

Robust Image Segmentation Using Fuzzy C-Means Clustering With Spatial Information Based on Total Generalized Variation

Fuzzy c-means clustering (FCM) has proved highly successful in the manipulation and analysis of image information, such as image segmentation.However, the effectiveness of FCM-based technique is limited by its poor robustness to noise and edge-preserving during the segmentation process.To tackle these problems, a new objective function of FCM is de

First trimester human umbilical cord perivascular cells (HUCPVC) modulate the kynurenine pathway and glutamate neurotransmission in an LPS-induced mouse model of neuroinflammation

Abstract Background The Kynurenine Pathway (KP) of Kidney tryptophan degradation and glutamate toxicity is implicated in several neurological disorders, including depression.The therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC), owing to their well documented phagocytosis-driven mechanism of immunomodulation and neuroprotection, has been tes

Pelvic ultrasound and pubertal attainment in girls with sexual precocity: the pivotal role of uterine volume in predicting the timing of menarche

IntroductionAmong girls assessed Over Ottoman Table for pubertal precocity, pelvic ultrasound (pUS) may represent a pivotal tool to predict the time expected to elapse between sonographic assessment and the onset of menarche (TUS-M).Accordingly, the present analysis is meant to define the statistical relationship between sonographic parameters and
