A transfer-learning approach for lesion detection in endoscopic images from the urinary tract [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Ureteroscopy and cystoscopy are the gold standard methods to identify and treat tumors along the urinary tract. It has been reported that during a normal procedure a rate of 10-20 % of the lesions could be missed. In this work we study the implementation of 3 different Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), using a 2-steps training strategy, to classify

Semi-Automatic Labeling and Semantic Segmentation of Gram-Stained Microscopic Images from DIBaS Dataset [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In this paper, a semi-automatic annotation of bacteria genera and species from DIBaS dataset is implemented using clustering and thresholding algorithms. A Deep learning model is trained to achieve the semantic segmentation and classification of the bacteria species. Classification accuracy of 95% is achieved.

World Journal of Surgery, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 590-604, March 2025.ABSTRACT Background The history of inguinal hernia repair has been marked by the description of several therapies over ages, each with its own approach to managing the hernial sac. An analysis of hernia sac transection (with or without high ligation) versus reduction (invagination) in adults who underwent Lichtenstein open tension‐free inguinal hernia ...

Screening of Pneumonia and Urinary Tract Infection at Triage using TriNet [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Due to the steady rise in population demographics and longevity, emergency department visits are increasing across North America. As more patients visit the emergency department, traditional clinical workflows become overloaded and inefficient, leading to prolonged wait-times and reduced healthcare quality.

A multivariate Bayesian learning approach for improved detection of doping in athletes using urinary steroid profiles [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Biomarker analysis of athletes' urinary steroid profiles is crucial for the success of anti-doping efforts. Current statistical analysis methods generate personalised limits for each athlete based on univariate modelling of longitudinal biomarker values from the urinary steroid profile.

Pathological Analysis of Stress Urinary Incontinence in Females using Artificial Neural Networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Objectives: To mathematically investigate urethral pressure and influencing parameters of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women, with focus on the clinical aspects of the mathematical modeling. Method: Several patients' data are extracted from UPP and urodynamic documents and their relation and affinities are modeled using an artificial neural ...

How Do Surgical Interventions for Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction Impact Quality of Life?
Neurourology and Urodynamics, Volume 44, Issue 2, Page 267-275, February 2025.ABSTRACT Objective Adult patients with neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD) often have urinary symptoms that impact their quality of life (QOL). Our objective is to identify and summarize studies evaluating QOL changes across different NLUTD surgical interventions.

A Clinical and Finite Elements Study of Stress Urinary Incontinence in Women Using Fluid-Structure Interactions [PDF]
, 2017 Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) or urine leakage from urethra occurs due to an increase in abdominal pressure resulting from stress like a cough or jumping height. SUI is more frequent among post-menopausal women. In the absence of bladder contraction, vesical pressure exceeds from urethral pressure leading to urine leakage. Despite a large number of
