BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Natural language processing (NLP) is a subfield of artificial intelligence that enables computers to process human language. As most human interactions today involve the internet and electronic devices, NLP tools quickly bec...
BACKGROUND: An emerging strategy to expand the donor pool is the use of a steatotic donor liver (SDLs; ≥ 30% macrosteatosis on biopsy). With the obesity epidemic and prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, SDLs have been reported in 59% of al...
Recommended practices that follow match-run sequences for hard-to-place kidneys succumb to many declines, accruing cold ischemic time and exacerbating kidney quality that may lead to unnecessary kidney discard. Hard-to-place deceased donor kidneys ac...
BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer (PCa) has increased as a long-term outcome of advanced immunosuppression in renal transplant recipients (RTRs). Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (Rs-RARP) is reportedly less time-consuming and has a hig...
BACKGROUND: Advancements based on artificial intelligence have emerged in all areas of medicine. Many decisions in organ transplantation can now potentially be addressed in a more precise manner with the aid of artificial intelligence.
Since the beginning of the history of transplants, numerous difficulties have been faced in the effective implementation of this therapeutic practice, especially with regard to the transplantation of solid organs and their teaching and training, toge...
OBJECTIVE: To develop a radial basis function (RBF) neural network and investigate its performance in the estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) for patients with chronic kidney disease.
Prediction models of post-liver transplant mortality are crucial so that donor organs are not allocated to recipients with unreasonably high probabilities of mortality. Machine learning algorithms, particularly deep neural networks (DNNs), can often ...
BACKGROUND: BK virus allograft nephropathy is a major complication of kidney transplantation that markedly reduces graft survival (50% graft failure 24 months after being diagnosed). BK virus replication can occur at any time posttransplantation. Vir...
BACKGROUND: In transplant recipients, due to the use of immunosuppressive therapy, it is occasionally difficult to distinguish between an infection and malignancy, especially in the case of a lung lesion. Here, we report a case of isolated pulmonary ...
