BACKGROUND: The effect of renal impairment in patients who receive intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is unclear. We aimed to determine the associations of renal impairment and clinical outcomes and any modification of the effec...
Post-transplant allograft fibrosis remains a challenge in prolonging allograft survival. Regulated cell death has been widely implicated in various kidney diseases, including renal fibrosis. However, the role of different regulated cell death (RCD) ...

BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION: To evaluate the performance of pre-trained deep learning schemes (DLS) in hepatic steatosis (HS) grading of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) patients, using as input B-mode US images containing right kidney (RK) cort...
This paper presents an enhanced approach to kidney segmentation using a modified CLAHE preprocessing method, aimed at improving image clarity and CNN performance on the KiTS19 dataset. To assess the impact of the modified CLAHE method, we conducted q...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the predictive capabilities of a radiomics signature obtained from arterial spin labeling (ASL) imaging in forecasting and detecting stages of kidney damage in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), as we...
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown great promise in assisting medical diagnosis, but its application in renal pathology remains limited.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: To prevent end-stage renal disease caused by diabetic kidney disease, we created a predictive model for high-risk patients using machine learning.
Automated blood vessel segmentation is critical for biomedical image analysis, as vessel morphology changes are associated with numerous pathologies. Still, precise segmentation is difficult due to the complexity of vascular structures, anatomical va...
OBJECTIVE: Renal Tumor biopsy (RTB) can assist clinicians in determining the most suitable approach for treatment of renal cancer. However, RTB's limitations in accurately determining histology and grading have hindered its broader adoption and data ...
