Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the sixth most common cancer in men and is often asymptomatic, leading to incidental detection in advanced disease stages that are associated with aggressive histology and poorer outcomes. Various cancer biomarkers are f...
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are pervasive and prevalent in both community and hospital settings. Recent trends in the changes of the causative microorganisms in these infections could affect the effectiveness of urinalysis (UA). We aimed to evalu...
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is the most commonly used marker of prostate cancer. However, nearly 25% of men with elevated PSA levels do not have cancer and nearly 20% of patients with prostate cancer have normal serum PSA levels. Therefore, in th...
BACKGROUND: Urinalysis, an essential diagnostic tool, faces challenges in terms of standardization and accuracy. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) with mobile technology can potentially solve these challenges. Therefore, we investigated the eff...
Urinalysis is one of the predominant tools for clinical testing owing to the abundant composition, sufficient volume, and non-invasive acquisition of urine. As a critical component of routine urinalysis, urine protein testing measures the levels and ...
BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a prevalent condition with significant global health implications. Early detection and management are critical to prevent disease progression and complications. Deep learning (DL) models using retinal image...
The void spot assay has gained popularity as a way of assessing functional bladder voiding parameters in mice, but analyzing the size and distribution of urine spot patterns on filter paper with software remains problematic due to inter-laboratory di...
BACKGROUND: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major global public health issue, with a steadily increasing incidence. Urinary protein detection serves as a crucial indicator for the diagnosis, monitoring and management of CKD. However, current method...
PURPOSE: Urine cytology, while valuable in facilitating the detection and surveillance of bladder cancer, has notable limitations. The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in urine cytology holds significant promise for improving diagnostic ac...
