Latest AI and machine learning research in urology for healthcare professionals.
BACKGROUND: Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access for hemodialysis, yet primary failure and early dysfunction remain common, thereby prolonging catheter dependence and increasing costs. Traditional prediction models show limited discrimination, and few studies have combined machine-learning (ML) methods with formal assessment of clinical utility. This study aimed to identify...
Over the past 25 years, prostatic artery embolization has emerged as a minimally invasive, organ-sparing alternative for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia. Though once considered experimental, it is now endorsed by major international radiological and urological societies as a valid therapeutic option for select patients. Its clinical efficacy has been proven, demonstrating durable improvement...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by persistent renal injury and inflammation. Although S100A12 is associated with inflammatory states, it...
We present a rapid, accurate and miniaturized electrochemical platform for urinary chloride measurement using chronopotentiometry coupled with conduct...
Federated learning (FL) enhances data privacy and compliance with data regulations by enabling multiple decentralized parties to collaboratively train...
Artificial intelligence (AI) can transform osteoporosis (OP) screening, but its application in high-risk, complex populations like postmenopausal wome...
OBJECTIVE: Repeated 24-hour urine collections are used to evaluate risk factors for recurrence of kidney stones but are costly and burdensome. This st...
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a leading cause of renal failure. Inflammation of the renal tubules and interstitium is a critical factor in the prog...
Molecular subtypes in prostate cancer significantly influence disease characteristics and treatment outcomes, yet obtaining this information requires ...
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) lacks reliable biomarkers to support early diagnosis and disease stratification. This study aimed to identify protein signat...
177Lu-PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy (TRT) represents a major advance in managing metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), exploiti...
Current computational approaches to prostate cancer diagnosis rely on either linear causal models that cannot handle the nonlinear dependencies among ...
Urodynamic tests are used to assess bladder function by measuring detrusor pressure, which requires invasive catheterization. Ultrasound bladder vibro...
BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia has been proved to be associated with cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney disease, and metabolic disorders, but the relatio...
Whole-body MRI (WB-MRI) has evolved over the past 2 decades as a noninvasive imaging technique for detecting distant metastases in prostate cancer. Si...
BACKGROUND: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common pediatric infections, but urine culture, the diagnostic gold standard, requires ...
High-risk prostate cancer (HRPC) accounts for just 10% to 20% of new diagnoses yet accounts for two-thirds of prostate cancer mortality at 10 years. T...
Free energy perturbation (FEP) calculations using classical force fields remain the dominant approach for large-scale, computational drug discovery ef...
Although immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment, many patients still experience limited benefit, highlighting the urgent need for improved ...
BACKGROUND: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a dynamic chronic disease. Specific disease trajectories remain unclear. OBJECTI...
