Latest AI and machine learning research in urology for healthcare professionals.
BACKGROUND: Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is a common and severe complication in intensive care unit (ICU) patients, with high incidence and mortality. Conventional diagnostic indicators, such as serum creatinine and urine output, have limitations in early identification. Existing machine learning (ML)-based prediction models are mostly single-center and lack interpretability, hig...
BACKGROUND: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a critical microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus, and the current pharmacotherapies are limited by side effects. Medical and edible homology (MEH) Agents: The DKD and healthy control multi- -target active and low-toxic drugs (MEH) agents were identified based on transcriptomic data of DKD patients and healthy controls retrieved in the GEO data...
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common genetic kidney disorder leading to kidney failure. Recent advancements in arti...
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a highly prevalent condition worldwide, with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and overactiv...
PURPOSE: Secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH) is a life-threatening hyperinflammatory condition. While few diagnostic scores are establ...
BACKGROUND: Delayed identification of acute kidney injury (AKI) limits timely intervention, as diagnosis often depends on serum creatinine elevation a...
OBJECTIVE: This systematic review aimed to systematically evaluate the methodological quality and predictive performance of existing prognostic models...
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT is routinely used to restage prostate cancer (PCa) in patients with biochemical recurrence (BCR), yet...
The lateral pelvis is a critical anatomical region in colorectal, gynecological, and urological surgeries. However, its anatomical complexity and vari...
PURPOSE: High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is an emerging focal therapy for localized prostate cancer, offering an alternative to radical prost...
BACKGROUND: Cancer screening is a cornerstone of cancer control in Europe yet marked disparities persist in access, implementation, and quality assura...
Patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) at chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3 to 4 are at high risk for rapid renal function decline within 1 y...
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome refers to the co-occurrence of obesity, diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and cardiov...
AIMS: To quantify the heterogeneity of treatment effects of higher versus standard MAP targets on 28-day mortality, to identify distinct clinical phen...
PURPOSE: To compare biparametric MRI (bpMRI) and multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) for detecting clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), and to asse...
BACKGROUND: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is an aggressive tumor with high metastatic potential and therapeutic resistance, yet the role of ...
PURPOSE: Upper urinary tract deterioration (UUTD) is a burdensome complication in neurogenic bladder (NB) patients. In this study, we aim to develop a...
PURPOSE: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the gold standard for treating large and complex renal calculi, but puncture path selection (papillary...
The KRAS G12D mutation is commonly found in pancreatic cancer and is integral to the cell signaling pathway, making it a critical target for drug deve...
Prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is central to the detection and localization of clinically significant prostate cancers. However, its interp...
