A deep learning-based image analysis could improve diagnostic accuracy and efficiency in pathology work. Recently, we proposed a deep learning-based detection algorithm for C4d immunostaining in renal allografts. The objective of this study is to ass...
A mechanism to predict graft failure before the actual kidney transplantation occurs is crucial to clinical management of chronic kidney disease patients. Several kidney graft outcome prediction models, developed using machine learning methods, are...

INTRODUCTION: Machine learning has been increasingly used to develop predictive models to diagnose different disease conditions. The heterogeneity of the kidney transplant population makes predicting graft outcomes extremely challenging. Several kidn...
This paper introduces a deep-learning based computer-aided diagnostic (CAD) system for the early detection of acute renal transplant rejection. For noninvasive detection of kidney rejection at an early stage, the proposed CAD system is based on the f...

We previously reported a system for assessing rejection in kidney transplant biopsies using microarray-based gene expression data, the Molecular Microscope Diagnostic System (MMDx). The present study was designed to optimize the accuracy and stabilit...
Pathologic diagnoses mainly depend on visual scoring by pathologists, a process that can be time-consuming, laborious, and susceptible to inter- and/or intra-observer variations. This study proposes a novel method to enhance pathologic scoring of ren...

BACKGROUND: We previously reported a microarray-based diagnostic system for heart transplant endomyocardial biopsies (EMBs), using either 3-archetype (3AA) or 4-archetype (4AA) unsupervised algorithms to estimate rejection. In the present study we ex...
INTRODUCTION: Our study compares 2 immunosuppressive strategies to reduce tacrolimus nephrotoxicity and its risk of acute tubular necrosis: delayed introduction of tacrolimus plus thymoglobulin vs initial tacrolimus plus basiliximab on the results of...
INTRODUCTION: The prediction of post transplantation outcomes is clinically important and involves several problems. The current prediction models based on standard statistics are very complex, difficult to validate and do not provide accurate predic...
The pre-transplant weight loss required of end-stage renal disease patients is often unachievable. Though robot-assisted procedures among extremely obese have shown minimal complication, long-term outcomes are understudied. Previously, we reported no...
