Robot-assisted excision of seminal vesicle cyst associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis.

Archivio italiano di urologia, andrologia : organo ufficiale [di] Societa italiana di ecografia urologica e nefrologica
Seminal vesicle cysts (SVCs) associated with other genitourologic abnormalities are rare. Often associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis in a symptomatic patient. In symptomatic patients open surgical excision is the treatment of choice. The laparo...

3D Fast Automatic Segmentation of Kidney Based on Modified AAM and Random Forest.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
In this paper, a fully automatic method is proposed to segment the kidney into multiple components: renal cortex, renal column, renal medulla and renal pelvis, in clinical 3D CT abdominal images. The proposed fast automatic segmentation method of kid...

Resting Heart Rate Does Not Predict Cardiovascular and Renal Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetic Patients.

Journal of diabetes research
Elevated resting heart rate (RHR) has been associated with increased risk of mortality and cardiovascular events. Limited data are available so far in type 2 diabetic (T2DM) subjects with no study focusing on progressive renal decline specifically. A...

Immediate hemodynamic changes after revascularization of complete infrarenal aortic occlusion: A classic issue revisited.

Medical hypotheses
Chronic total occlusion of the infrarenal aorta (CTOA) is a rare disease, characterized by severe impairment of limb perfusion. It is advocated that revascularization may improve survival rates, presumably due to improved cardiovascular performance; ...

Hypertension, haematuria and renal functioning in haemophilia - a cross-sectional study in Europe.

Haemophilia : the official journal of the World Federation of Hemophilia
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This cross-sectional, epidemiological study sought to assess the prevalence and extent of potential risk factors for hypertension, particularly renal function related to haematuria and their associations in people with haem...

Long-Term Oncological and Functional Outcomes of Partial Nephrectomy in Solitary Kidneys.

Clinical genitourinary cancer
BACKGROUND: In this study we assessed the efficacy of nephron-sparing surgery and the changes in renal function after surgery in patients with solitary kidneys.

Fully automatized renal parenchyma volumetry using a support vector machine based recognition system for subject-specific probability map generation in native MR volume data.

Physics in medicine and biology
In epidemiological studies as well as in clinical practice the amount of produced medical image data strongly increased in the last decade. In this context organ segmentation in MR volume data gained increasing attention for medical applications. Esp...

Histopathological Image Classification Using Discriminative Feature-Oriented Dictionary Learning.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
In histopathological image analysis, feature extraction for classification is a challenging task due to the diversity of histology features suitable for each problem as well as presence of rich geometrical structures. In this paper, we propose an aut...
