        Sensitivity of ultrasound in detecting hepatocellular carcinoma in obese patients compared to explant pathology as the gold standard

        Jamak Modaresi Esfeh,Kaveh Hajifathalian,Kianoush Ansari-Gilani 대한간학회 2020 Clinical and Molecular Hepatology(대한간학회지) Vol.26 No.1

        Background/Aims: The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases recommends ultrasound (US) screening for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) among cirrhotic patients, regardless of body mass index (BMI), every 6 months. We examined US sensitivity for diagnosis of HCC in obese patients. Methods: Liver transplant patients data with HCC in explant was used (January 2012-December 2017). All patients underwent liver US within 3 months of diagnosis of HCC. Number/size of HCC lesions were extracted from radiologic and pathologic reports. Obesity was defined as BMI ≥30 kg/m2. Results: One hundred sixteen patients were included. 80% were male, with mean BMI of 31 kg/m2. The most common underlying liver disease was hepatitis C virus (62%). At the time of diagnosis, median number of HCC lesions was 2 (interquartile range [IQR], 1–3), and median size of the largest lesion was 2.5 cm (IQR, 1.75–3.9). Overall sensitivity of US study for detection of HCC was 33% (95% confidence interval [CI], 29–48%). Sensitivity was 77% (95% CI, 62–93%) in patients with BMI<30 and 21% (95% CI, 11–30%) in patients with BMI≥30 (P<0.001). Size of the largest HCC lesion (P=0.290) and number of lesions (P=0.505) were not different between groups. Computed tomography (CT) scan detected HCC in 98% of the obese patients with negative US. Conclusions: Sensitivity of US for detection of HCC is significantly lower among obese patients compared to overweight and normal weight patients. These patients may benefit from alternating between US and a different imaging modality.

        The severity of earthquake events – statistical analysis and classification

        Mohammad Ansari Esfeh,H. Jithamala Caldera,Seiran Heshami,Nadia Moshahedi,Sumedha Chandana Wirasinghe 서울시립대학교 도시과학연구원 2016 도시과학국제저널 Vol.20 No.2

        Earthquake events are natural disasters that can pose a threat to people’s safety as well as their homes and possessions. In this paper, the severity level of earthquake disasters is addressed using the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) database. A total of 5841 earthquake incidents are recorded that happened between 2150 BCE and 2015 CE. Few studies have done a comprehensive statistical analysis of the consequences of earthquakes. To address this gap, and after determining the probability distribution function of the number of fatalities, we evaluate the distribution of earthquakes with extreme fatalities to determine the severity levels according to the fatality-based disaster scale introduced by Wirasinghe, Caldera, Durage, and Ruwanpura [(2013). Preliminary analysis and classification of natural disasters. Proceedings of the ninth annual conference of the International Institute for Infrastructure, Renewal and Reconstruction (IIIRR), Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia, July 2013, Section B1.2, p. 11]. To this end, three different methods of determining the extreme events are considered: peak over threshold, Rth order, and eventbased and location-based block maxima. Moreover, a comprehensive collinearity analysis is performed to investigate any correlation and linear dependency between the earthquake parameters (magnitude, intensity, and focal depth) and the consequences in terms of earthquake fatalities. The severity classification based on block maxima has more detailed severity classes; hence, it is superior to the other two methods. For block maxima, the probability of a lower level disaster (Emergency to Catastrophe Type 1) being the extreme disaster is higher for the location (country)-based data set compared to the event-based worldwide data set, while the probability of a higher level disaster (Catastrophe Type 2 and above) being the extreme disaster is lower. These probabilities are to be expected because a single country, even over the full time period, is less likely to have a massive disaster compared to the world when a large number of extreme events, in this case 100, are considered.

        Features of the flow over a finite length square prism on a wall at various incidence angles

        Sohankar, A.,Esfeh, M. Kazemi,Pourjafari, H.,Alam, Md. Mahbub,Wang, Longjun Techno-Press 2018 Wind and Structures, An International Journal (WAS Vol.26 No.5

        Wake characteristics of the flow over a finite square prism at different incidence angles were experimentally investigated using an open-loop wind tunnel. A finite square prism with a width D = 15 mm and a height H = 7D was vertically mounted on a horizontal flat plate. The Reynolds number was varied from $6.5{\times}10^3$ to $28.5{\times}10^3$ and the incidence angle ${\alpha}$ was changed from $0^{\circ}$ to $45^{\circ}$. The ratio of boundary layer thickness to the prism height was about ${\delta}/H=7%$. The time-averaged velocity, turbulence intensity and the vortex shedding frequency were obtained through a single-component hotwire probe. Power spectrum of the streamwise velocity fluctuations revealed that the tip and base vortices shed at the same frequency as that ofspanwise vortices. Furthermore, the results showed that the critical incidence angle corresponding to the maximum Strouhal number and minimum wake width occurs at ${\alpha}_{cr}=15^{\circ}$ which is equal to that reported for an infinite prism. There is a reduction in the size of the wake region along the height of the prism when moving away from the ground plane towards the free end.
