OBJECTIVE: To determine the efficacy of intercostal nerve block and nephrostomy tract infiltration (NTI) with ropivacaine in patients undergoing tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy (TPCNL).
BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is strongly associated with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Detection of subclinical PAD may allow early interventions for or prevention of PAD in persons with CKD. Whether the presence of atherosclerotic pla...

UNLABELLED: Essentials Predicting the occurrence of portosplenomesenteric vein thrombosis (PSMVT) is difficult. We studied 72 patients with acute pancreatitis. Artificial neural networks modeling was more accurate than logistic regression in predicti...
BACKGROUND: This study specifically focused on anatomical MRI characterization of the low shear stress-induced atherosclerotic plaque in mice. We used machine learning algorithms to analyze multiple correlation factors of plaque to generate predictiv...

This study presents an approach for estimating gaps in arterial diameter using flow velocity obtained from spectral Doppler data. We utilize short-time Fourier transform in conjunction with deep learning models designed for spectrograms to estimate a...
The umbilical cord is an organ that circulates oxygen and nutrition from mother to fetus during pregnancy. This study aims to classify the umbilical cord based on ultrasound images. The similarity of shape and coil between each class becomes a challe...
