Abstract Soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 (sFlt-1) is an anti-angiogenic protein which is secreted by numerous cell types and acts as a decoy receptor for the angiogenic protein vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).Despite its physiologic importance in maintaining angiogenic balance, excess sFlt-1 levels are associated wit
ObjectivesPreoperative evaluation of potential living liver donors (PLLDs) includes the assessment of the biliary anatomy to avoid postoperative complications.Aim of this study was to compare T2-weighted (T2w) and Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced T1-weighted (T1w) magnetic resonance cholangiography (MRC) techniques in the evaluation of PLLDs.Materials and meth
WiFi localization based on channel state information (CSI) fingerprints has become the mainstream method for indoor positioning due to the widespread deployment of WiFi networks, in which fingerprint database building is critical.However, issues, such as insufficient samples or missing data in the collection fingerprint database, result in unbalanc
