Latest AI and machine learning research in urology for healthcare professionals.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: While intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin Vaccine (BCG) instillation remains standard adjuvant therapy for high-grade non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) post-resection, marked interpatient response heterogeneity complicates recurrence prediction. This study develops a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) radiomics-based machine learning model to quantify tum...
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into modern medicine has revolutionised diagnostic accuracy, yet it generates a critical ethical dilemma: as healthcare becomes more data-driven, it risks eroding the high-touch essence of care. As algorithms increasingly shape clinical decision-making, patients risk being reduced to data points rather than persons with unique life stories. This pape...
Polypharmacy in post-acute and long-term care (PA/LTC) is common and is associated with falls, delirium, hospitalization, functional decline, and mort...
BACKGROUND: Japan has one of the highest dialysis prevalence rates worldwide and a shrinking, aging population. Whether dialysis burden has entered a ...
BACKGROUND: The stroke volume (SV) can be measured by a human expert (HE) using the left ventricular outflow tract diameter (LVOTd) and its velocity t...
The efficient capture and sensitive detection of exosomes from complex biological samples remain critical challenges for liquid biopsy-based cancer di...
Traditional anatomical resources like cadaveric dissection and professional atlases are the gold standard, but face constraints in cost and accessibil...
Active surveillance (AS) is widely used for men with low-risk and selected favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer, but pathways remain heterogene...
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent malignant tumor with increasing incidence and mortality rates worldwide. Exosomes are secretory ves...
Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) remain a major global concern, contributing significantly to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs....
Although lymphovascular invasion is a major predictor of bladder urothelial carcinoma, postoperative pathological biopsy-an intrusive procedure-remain...
Prostate‑specific antigen (PSA) screening reduces prostate cancer (PCa) mortality but is limited by overdiagnosis and poor specificity for clinically ...
BACKGROUND: Meningiomas, particularly large temporocorneal meningiomas, pose significant surgical challenges due to their proximity to critical brain ...
OBJECTIVE: To assess the value of multiparametric MRI (mpMRI)-derived radiomic signatures and a combined model for non-invasive prediction of human ep...
Lineage plasticity has emerged as a fundamental mechanism of adaptive therapy resistance in prostate and bladder cancers, enabling malignant cells to ...
BACKGROUND: Depression is a major global public health burden, and environmental pollutants are increasingly associated with depressive symptoms. Vola...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To characterize liver fat distribution in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and propose a magnetic res...
BACKGROUND: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is one of the significant health issues in the world which is usually unnoticeable and afterwards causes grea...
BACKGROUND: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) strongly resists apoptosis via baculoviral inhibitor of apoptosis repeat-containing 5 (BIRC5) and ...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) exhibits heterogeneous progression patterns, with early progression to ...
