Circulating biomarkers at diagnosis correlate with distant metastases of early luminal-like breast cancer KU Leuven
There is an urgent need for new and better biomarker modalities to estimate the risk of recurrence within the luminal-like breast cancer (BC) population. Molecular diagnostic tests used in the clinic lack accuracy in identifying patients with early luminal BC who are likely to develop metastases. This study provides proof of concept that various liquid biopsy read-outs could serve as valuable candidates to build a multi-modal biomarker model ...
Beyond the single picture: Aesthetic experiences with photography series in an exhibition context KU Leuven
Additivity of grouping by proximity and luminance similarity is dependent on relative grouping strength: An analysis of individual differences in grouping sensitivity KU Leuven
It has previously been shown that grouping by proximity is well described by a linear function relating the perceived orientation of a dot lattice to the ratio of the distances between the dots in the different orientations. Similarly, luminance influences how observers perceptually group stimuli. Using the dot lattice paradigm, it has been shown that proximity and luminance similarity interact additively, which means that their effects can be ...
Factors influencing outcome of angiographic embolization for gastroduodenal hemorrhage related to peptic ulceration KU Leuven
PURPOSE: Long-term outcome and prognostic factors of transcatheter embolization for gastroduodenal peptic ulcer bleeding are unknown. This study was conducted to evaluate the clinical outcome and factors associated with early recurrent bleeding and 30-day mortality of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) for severe, upper gastroduodenal hemorrhage associated with peptic ulcer and refractory to medical and endoscopic therapy. METHODS: A ...
Beautification of images by generative adversarial networks KU Leuven
Finding the properties underlying beauty has always been a prominent yet difficult problem. However, new technological developments have often aided scientific progress by expanding the scientists' toolkit. Currently in the spotlight of cognitive neuroscience and vision science are deep neural networks. In this study, we have used a generative adversarial network (GAN) to generate images of increasing aesthetic value. We validated that this ...
The QTc-Bazett Interval in Former Very Preterm Infants in Adolescence and Young Adulthood is Not Different from Term-Born Controls KU Leuven
INTRODUCTION: Although relevant for precision pharmacovigilance, there are conflicting data on whether former preterm birth is associated with QTc-Bazett prolongation in later life. METHODS: To explore QTc-Bazett interval differences between former preterm and/or extremely low birth weight (ELBW) cases and term-born controls in adolescence and young adulthood, we analyzed pooled individual data after a structured search on published cohorts. To ...
The Order & Complexity Toolbox for Aesthetics (OCTA): A systematic approach to study the relations between order, complexity, and aesthetic appreciation KU Leuven
Do individuals prefer stimuli that are ordered or disordered, simple or complex, or that strike the right balance of order and complexity? Earlier research mainly focused on the separate influence of order and complexity on aesthetic appreciation. When order and complexity were studied in combination, stimulus manipulations were often not parametrically controlled, only rather specific types of order (i.e., balance or symmetry) were usually ...
