Tobacco effects on ocular surface, meibomian glands, and corneal epithelium and the benefits of treatment with a lipid-based lubricant
Our aim was to evaluate the ocular surface in chronic smokers and to assess the benefit of sodium hyaluronate (SH) versus semi-fluorinated alkane (SFA) eyedrops on tear film, meibomian glands, and corneal epit...

The Impact of Domain Shift on Left and Right Ventricle Segmentation in Short Axis Cardiac MR Images
Domain shift refers to the difference in the data distribution of two datasets, normally between the training set and the test set for machine learning algorithms. Domain shift is a serious problem for general...
