INTRODUCTION: Anatomic characteristics of kidneys derived from ultrasound images are potential biomarkers of children with congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT), but current methods are limited by the lack of automated proc...

This paper presents the recognition for WHO classification of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) subtypes. The two ALL subtypes considered are T-lymphoblastic leukaemia (pre-T) and B-lymphoblastic leukaemia (pre-B). They exhibit various characterist...
OBJECTIVE: To reliably and quickly diagnose children with posterior urethral valves (PUV), we developed a multi-instance deep learning method to automate image analysis.
Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome, a rare Mullerian duct anomaly, includes a triad of uterine didelphys, obstructed haemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis. A 58-year-old woman with Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome, reported of recurrent genital ...

OBJECTIVES: Nerve sparing may increase positive surgical margin rate during radical prostatectomy. Our objective was to analyze the positive surgical margin rate and location as well as its impact on biochemical recurrence according to nerve sparing ...
We compared the effectiveness of conventional total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) against robot-assisted total hysterectomy (RAH) in patients with a large uterus. According to the subtype of minimally invasive hysterectomy performed for benign indi...
BACKGROUND: Congenital renal anomalies are rare but may be associated with obstruction of the ureteropelvic junction. Given the rarity of simultaneous ureteropelvic junction obstruction [UPJO] and renal anomalies in the adult population, there is lim...
Congenital renal tract malformations (RTMs) are the major cause of severe kidney failure in children. Studies to date have identified defined genetic causes for only a minority of human RTMs. While some RTMs may be caused by poorly defined environmen...
BACKGROUND: The longitudinal vaginal septum and oblique vaginal septum are female müllerian duct anomalies that are relatively less diagnosed but severely fertility-threatening in clinical practice. Ultrasound imaging is commonly used to examine the ...
