Latest AI and machine learning research in nephrology for healthcare professionals.
BACKGROUND: Total kidney volume (TKV) is an important imaging biomarker in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Manual computation of TKV, particularly with the exclusion of exophytic cysts, is laborious and time consuming.
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RALPN) can benefit patients in terms of functional recovery in the treatment of renal hilar tumors compared to conventional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (CLPN).
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted nephroureterectomy (RANU) is the primary treatment for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) at our hospital for patients...
BACKGROUND: For patients with prior intra-abdominal surgery or multiple arteries, the retroperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (rRAPN) is a ...
BACKGROUND: Despite an expected increase in prostate cancer (PCa) incidence in the renal transplant recipient (RTR) population in the near future, rob...
A man in his 60s was referred to the urology department with an incidental finding of large 75 mm mass within a horseshoe kidney. CT imaging highlight...
INTRODUCTION: Warm ischemia time (WIT) is a primary concern for robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RALPN) patients because longer WIT is...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: We seek to determine recent advances in kidney pathophysiology that have been enabled or enhanced by artificial intelligence. We de...
OBJECTIVE: Acute kidney injury (AKI) after pediatric cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a frequently reported complication. In this ...
Fraley's Syndrome is a rare anatomic vascular malformation described in 1966 where an aberrant crossing vessel compresses the upper infundibulum and l...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death worldwide. People affected by CVDs may go undiagnosed until the occurrence of a serious h...
OBJECTIVES: It has been well documented that partial nephrectomy for completely endophytic renal tumors is a highly challenging procedure accompanied ...
Assessment of daily creatinine production and excretion plays a crucial role in the estimation of renal function. Creatinine excretion is estimated by...
To observe the clinical efficacy of early enteral nutrition application in critically ill neurosurgical patients, in this paper, we have developed a p...
BACKGROUND: Prediction of complications and surgical outcomes is of outmost importance even in patients with benign renal masses. The aim of our study...
INTRODUCTION: There is lack of evidence on the impact of surgeons' learning curve on postoperative outcomes after open (OKT) or minimally-invasive (ro...
PURPOSE: We investigated the feasibility of measuring the hydronephrosis area to renal parenchyma (HARP) ratio from ultrasound images using a deep-lea...
In complex systems like aircraft engines and oil refinery machines, pipeline inspection is an essential task for ensuring safety. Here, we proposed a ...
Hypertension is a major cardiovascular risk factor that is responsible for a heavy burden of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A critical aspect of c...
Upper-tract urothelial carcinoma is a relatively rare malignancy. Current guidelines strongly recommend radical nephroureterectomy with bladder cuff e...
