Iatrogenic Uterine Diverticulum in Pregnancy After Robotic-assisted Myomectomy.

Uterine diverticula are rare outpouchings of the uterus associated with abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and adverse obstetric events. At the time of cesarean delivery at 36 5/7 weeks' gestation during the patient's first pregnancy and 36 6/7 weeks during the second pregnancy, a fundal iatrogenic uterine diverticulum at the site of a prior robotic-assisted myomectomy was noted...

Robust phase-based texture descriptor for classification of breast ultrasound images.

BACKGROUND: Classification of breast ultrasound (BUS) images is an important step in the computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for breast cancer. In this paper, a novel phase-based texture descriptor is proposed for efficient and robust classifiers to discriminate benign and malignant tumors in BUS images.

n-Order and maximum fuzzy similarity entropy for discrimination of signals of different complexity: Application to fetal heart rate signals.

This paper presents two new concepts for discrimination of signals of different complexity. The first focused initially on solving the problem of sett...

Using trend templates in a neonatal seizure algorithm improves detection of short seizures in a foetal ovine model.

Seizures below one minute in duration are difficult to assess correctly using seizure detection algorithms. We aimed to improve neonatal detection alg...

Predictors of Success of a Single-Dose Methotrexate in the Treatment of Ectopic Pregnancy.

BACKGROUND: Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is the commonest cause of maternal mortality-related death in the first trimester. Methotrexate (MTX) remains the f...

Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm Based on Information Learning.

Inspired by the fact that the division of labor and cooperation play extremely important roles in the human history development, this paper develops a...

Learning-based prediction of gestational age from ultrasound images of the fetal brain.

We propose an automated framework for predicting gestational age (GA) and neurodevelopmental maturation of a fetus based on 3D ultrasound (US) brain i...

Robot-assisted ultrasound imaging: overview and development of a parallel telerobotic system.

Ultrasound imaging is frequently used in medicine. The quality of ultrasound images is often dependent on the skill of the sonographer. Several resear...

Ultrasound texture-based CAD system for detecting neuromuscular diseases.

PURPOSE: Diagnosis of neuromuscular diseases in ultrasonography is a challenging task since experts are often unable to discriminate between healthy a...

Comparison of ultrasonic with stirrer performance for removal of sunset yellow (SY) by activated carbon prepared from wood of orange tree: artificial neural network modeling.

The present work focused on the removal of sunset yellow (SY) dye from aqueous solution by ultrasound-assisted adsorption and stirrer by activated car...

Popliteal Sciatic Nerve Block in a Pregnant Patient in the Last Trimester.

Although regional anaesthesia is a commonly preferred anaesthesia technique for pregnant patients undergoing non-obstetric surgery, peripheral nerve b...

Robotics-assisted mass spectrometry assay platform enabled by open-source electronics.

Mass spectrometry (MS) is an important analytical technique with numerous applications in clinical analysis, biochemistry, environmental analysis, geo...

Enhanced needle localization in ultrasound using beam steering and learning-based segmentation.

Segmentation of needles in ultrasound images remains a challenging problem. In this paper, we introduce a machine learning-based method for needle seg...

Predictive Modeling of Implantation Outcome in an In Vitro Fertilization Setting: An Application of Machine Learning Methods.

BACKGROUND: Multiple embryo transfers in in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment increase the number of successful pregnancies while elevating the risk...

Function-driven geometry directs human pilosebaceous unit development

Single-cell technologies have generated cell censuses of tissues, however, how tissue geometry reflects functional needs remains poorly characterized....

Expert-like Bone Ultrasound Segmentation through Expert-in-the-loop Mask-conditioned Progressive Learning

Manual annotation remains a major bottleneck in ultrasound (US) bone segmentation, where experts typically iteratively refine rough brush masks rather...

Machine Learning-Based Prediction of Maternal Morbidity across Heterogeneous Populations in the United States using Sequential Modeling of the All of Us Dataset

In this work, we demonstrate the unprecedented value of NIH's "All of Us Research Program" (AoURP) dataset in studying maternal morbidity and building...

Audited vibe coding suggests partial fetal-like convergence of tumor proteomes

The balance between how much human tumors recapitulate fetal tissue programs versus lose adult tissue identity remains unresolved. I used audited vibe...

Source-Dependent Deference in Medical Imaging Agents Under Falsified Findings: A Pilot Audit

Tool-using agents are being proposed for medical imaging, and their behaviour when a tool returns a false finding is largely unmeasured. We audit whet...

Null-Space Diffusion Restoration with Adaptive Uncertainty-Guided Fusion for Ultrasound Speckle Reduction

Ultrasound B-mode imaging commonly suffers from speckle noise and artifacts, requiring a delicate balance between contrast, resolution, and preservati...
