Inflammatory responses play a crucial role in the progression of pediatric neurogenic bladder (NB)-associated fibrosis; however, their specific contributions remain poorly understood. This study aimed to identify inflammation-related biomarkers for d...
BACKGROUND: Visual scoring of tubular damage has limitations in capturing the full spectrum of structural changes and prognostic potential. Here, we investigated if computationally quantified tubular features can enhance prognostication and reveal sp...

OBJECTIVE: Cochlear implants (CIs) are bionic prostheses that restores hearing via electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve. Hybrid CIs, which use electroacoustic stimulation (EAS), combine residual low-frequency acoustic hearing with CI electric...
BACKGROUND: Fibrosis is a common complication in Crohn's disease (CD), often leading to intestinal strictures. This study aims to explore the transcriptomic signature of fibrostenotic ileal CD for a comprehensive characterization of biological and ce...
Purpose To develop a deep learning (DL) model that derives aligned strain values from cine (noncontrast) cardiac MRI and evaluate performance of these values to predict myocardial fibrosis in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Materials...

BACKGROUND: The extent of interstitial fibrosis in the kidney not only correlates with renal function at the time of biopsy but also predicts future renal outcome. However, its assessment by pathologists lacks good agreement. The aim of this study is...
BACKGROUND: Cirrhosis is the result of advanced scarring (or fibrosis) of the liver, and is often diagnosed once decompensation with associated complications has occurred. Current non-invasive tests to detect advanced liver fibrosis have limited perf...
