Latest AI and machine learning research in urology for healthcare professionals.
OBJECTIVE: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) detects clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa, Gleason Grade Group ≥ 2) with high sensitivity but limited specificity and inter-reader variability. Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and deep learning, may improve diagnostic consistency and accuracy. This meta-analysis compares AI sys...
BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and heart failure (HF) share pathophysiological mechanisms, rendering HF one of the most burdensome cardiovascular complication in CKD. Current HF prediction models, derived from the general population, exhibit limited accuracy in CKD, thus necessitating a CKD-specific risk model and clinical implementation. METHODS: The development set comprised 52 251 pat...
BACKGROUND: Over the past decade, machine learning (ML) has transformed histopathology, yet its application in lupus nephritis (LN) remains underexplo...
INTRODUCTION: Aldosterone dysregulation (excess aldosterone production at the source within the adrenal glands) in the absence of primary aldosteronis...
INTRODUCTION: The identification of non-diabetic kidney disease (NDKD) in diabetic patients is critically important. Unlike diabetic nephropathy, NDKD...
Post-kidney transplant rejection is a critical factor influencing transplant success rates and the survival of transplanted organs. With the rapid adv...
OBJECTIVES: This study aims to determine the maxillary sinus volume and surface area values and their relationship in individuals with and without tem...
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), characterized by progressive renal dysfunction, is a prevalent microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus and a le...
The substitution of a urine sample that may result in an adverse analytical finding with a previously collected, clean sample is strictly prohibited u...
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition among aging men that often causes significant urinary symptoms, impacting their quality of li...
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is an important cause of acute kidney injury following exposure to iodinated contrast media, and effective preventi...
BACKGROUND: Asymptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) is a well-established precursor of overt heart failure (HF), yet it often remain...
BACKGROUND Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) is a life-threatening opportunistic infection in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Early identifi...
OBJECTIVE: To construct and interpret a machine learning model for predicting overall survival in nonsurgical prostate cancer with bone metastases (PC...
Prostate MRI segmentation is critical for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning but remains challenging due to the complex interplay between the p...
Medication dosage calculation is a vital clinical skill essential for patient safety. However, many nursing students experience difficulties mastering...
OBJECTIVES: To assess the currently applied CT image acquisition protocols in lung cancer screening (LCS) and thereby fill a knowledge gap to support ...
BACKGROUND: Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), characterized by progressive cyst growth and renal decline, is the leading genetic c...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The degree to which computerized methods, such as artificial intelligence (AI), will aid in the assessment of kidney histopathology...
