Diagnostic value of MR-based texture analysis for the assessment of hepatic fibrosis in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
No full textPurposeTo investigate the performance of MR-based texture analysis (TA) for the assessment of hepatic fibrosis in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).MethodsFifty-four adult patients (33 females, 21 males, mean age 49.813.5years) with biopsy-proven NAFLD were enrolled and underwent MR imaging on a 1.5T system. TA parameters were extracted on axial noncontrast 3D-GRE T1W images (slice thickness=4.6mm) using a commercially available research software (TexRAD). Receiver operating curves (ROC), areas under the ROC (AUROC) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated to assess the accuracy of each TA parameter for the diagnosis of significant (F2) and advanced fibrosis (F3). The correlation between TA and histopathological features of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) was tested calculating the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient ().ResultsThirty-seven (68%) subjects had significant fibrosis and 20 (37%) had advanced fibrosis. The TA parameters with the best performance were standard deviation (SD) and entropy, respectively, with AUROC 0.755 (95% CI 0.619-0.862, p0.0002) and 0.769 (95% CI 0.634-0.873, p<0.0001) for significant fibrosis and AUROC 0.746 (95% CI 0.609-0.854, p0.0004) and 0.754 (95% CI 0.618-0.861, p0.0002) for advanced fibrosis. SD and entropy demonstrated a moderate correlation with the degree of fibrosis (=0.457 and 0.480; p<0.01). No significant correlation was found between TA parameters and other histopathological features of NASH.Conclusionsp id=ParEntropy and SD extracted on T1-weighted MR images have fair accuracy for the diagnosis of significant and advanced hepatic fibrosis in patients with NAFLD

Optimal inventory methods - present worth and continuous compounding considered
No full textAn extensive amount of work has been done in the area of inventory management during the past twenty-five years. So far all of the published literature mainly concerns itself with the optimization of average profit or cost/year in order to find the best operating policy. A new approach to the management of inventory is introduced in this work, where all the money transacted in a planning year is discounted back to the beginning of the year and the objective function thus obtained is optimized to determine an optimum operating policy. The continuous compounding has been used in this work for discounting purposes. In this work, the conventional inventory rate, I, has been decomposed into two parts--investment rate, i, and auxiliary inventory rate, ?ü. This was necessary to do in order to get the present worth of all the money transacted in a year. The relationship among I, i, and ?ü is established. For continuous corresponding continuous rates, r and ?ü[subscript c] are used. In this study, the demand may either be deterministic uniform, or deterministic non-uniform but it has to be continuous. The basic model develops a mathematical expression for economic order quantity under the assumptions of deterministic demand, constant usage rate, instantaneous replenishment, no constraints or quantity discounts, and constant sales price. ..
