LLRHNet: Multiple Lesions Segmentation Using Local-Long Range Features

Imagine trying to solve a puzzle, but you can only see a small portion of each piece at a time. That’s how convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have traditionally tackled medical image segmentation tasks. But now, researchers have developed LLRHNet, a new approach that combines the best of both worlds – local and long-range features. It’s […]

Associations of Parity With Change in Global Cognition and Incident Cognitive Impairment in Older Women

BackgroundThe evidence of the association between parity and risk of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia is mixed, and the relationship between parity and longitudinal cognitive changes is less clear. We investigated these issues in a large population of older women who were carefully monitored for development of MCI and probable dementia.MethodsUsing the Women’s Health […]
