Latest AI and machine learning research in urology for healthcare professionals.
Indoor environment constitutes an important source of industrial additive chemicals to human exposure. We hypothesized that the influence of residential environment on human exposure varies among different types of additive chemicals and differs between children and mothers. This study determined a suite of additive chemicals in house dust from South China dwellings (n = 47) and urine from child-m...
OBJECTIVE: Accurate bladder size estimation is an important clinical parameter that assists physicians, enabling them to provide better treatment for patients who are suffering from urinary incontinence. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive medical imaging method that estimates organ boundaries assuming that the electrical conductivity values of the background, bladder, and adja...
Chronic pelvic pain affects one in seven women worldwide, and there is an urgent need to reduce its associated significant costs and to improve women'...
To report trifecta outcomes of our "off-clamp" partial nephrectomy (PN) patients operated without main renal artery and/or any selective/superselecti...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an increasingly important tool for the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. However, interpretation of MRI ...
: To evaluate the oncological outcome at 5-year follow-up after laparoscopic cryoablation (LCA) for small renal masses (SRMs), as there is an increasi...
Urology has always been closely linked to technological progress. In the last few decades, we have witnessed increasing implementation of various tech...
Chronic kidney disease mineral bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is a virtually universal complication of kidney diseases, starting early in the course of disea...
To understand the physiology and pathology of disease, capturing the heterogeneity of cell types within their tissue environment is fundamental. In su...
Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is extremely harmful to the human body and may cause neurological dysfunction and endocrine dysfunct...
PURPOSE: Some patients who undergo robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) continue to experience long-term urinary incontinence (UI)...
Histopathological images are a rich but incompletely explored data type for studying cancer. Manual inspection is time consuming, making it challengin...
BACKGROUND: Anti-oxidants were investigated in several studies as a preventive strategy for prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). Omega-3 ...
White light cystoscopy and the concise documentation of pathological findings are standard diagnostic procedures in urology. Additional imaging modali...
Screening for prostate cancer relies on the serum prostate-specific antigen test, which provides a high rate of false positives (80%). This results in...
Supervised learning-based segmentation methods typically require a large number of annotated training data to generalize well at test time. In medical...
The diagnosis of diabetic kidney disease can be delayed by limitations of primary biomarkers, which are microalbuminuria and estimated glomerular filt...
PURPOSE: Continuous antibiotic prophylaxis reduces the risk of recurrent urinary tract infection by 50% in children with vesicoureteral reflux. Howeve...
Spectral similarity calculation is widely used in protein identification tools and mass spectra clustering algorithms while comparing theoretical or e...
