Latest AI and machine learning research in nephrology for healthcare professionals.
Sperm motility is crucial for successful fertilization. Highly decorated doublet microtubules (DMTs) form the sperm tail skeleton, which propels the movement of spermatozoa. Using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and artificial intelligence (AI)-based modeling, we determined the structures of mouse and human sperm DMTs and built an atomic model of the 48-nm repeat of the mouse sperm DMT. Our ana...
Protein mutation detection using liquid biopsy can be simply performed periodically, making it easy to detect the occurrence of newly emerging mutations rapidly. However, it has low diagnostic accuracy since there are more normal proteins than mutated proteins in body fluids. To increase the diagnostic accuracy, we analyzed plasma exosomes using nanoplasmonic spectra and deep learning. Exosomes, a...
Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are active soft matter-based materials with strong stimulus responsiveness and reversible, large-shape morphing capab...
Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) is a platform for urine and blood sample analysis. However, the high variability in the urine sample r...
Hypertension is a major cause of cardiovascular diseases. Accurate and convenient measurement of blood pressure are necessary for the detection, treat...
BACKGROUND: Renal tumour can invade the venous system and ~4-10% patients with renal tumour had venous thrombus. Although the feasibility of robot-ass...
There is emerging but limited data assessing single-port (SP) robot-assisted surgery as an alternative to multi-port (MP) platforms. We compared perio...
BACKGROUND: Tumors with a high nephrometry score represent a challenging surgical scenario for which robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) is a primary op...
To compare perioperative outcomes following robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) in patients with morbid obesity (body mass index (BMI > 40 kg/m)...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects over 850 million people globally, and the need to prevent its development and progression is urgent. During the p...
We aimed to evaluate the renoprotective effects of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic partial n...
OBJECTIVE: Acute kidney injury (AKI), a common condition on the intensive-care unit (ICU), is characterized by an abrupt decrease in kidney function w...
Urothelial carcinoma (UC) could be observed in urinary bladder (UBUC) and upper urinary tracts (UTUC). In the National Comprehensive Cancer Network gu...
The single largest contributor to human mortality is cardiovascular disease, the top risk factor for which is hypertension (HTN). The last two decades...
BACKGROUND: Robotic transplant surgery has garnered worldwide attention since 2002. Discussions on this issue have led to more publications over the p...
Limited evidence exists regarding the value of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in promoting health outcomes in patients with prostate canc...
In the first trimester of pregnancy, accurately predicting the occurrence of pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) is important for both identifying hi...
The renal vasculature, acting as a resource distribution network, plays an important role in both the physiology and pathophysiology of the kidney. Ho...
BACKGROUND: Electron microscopy is important in the diagnosis of renal disease. For immune-mediated renal disease diagnosis, whether the electron-dens...
