Role of Image Acquisition and Patient Phenotype Variations in Automatic Segmentation Model Generalization [PDF]
Purpose: This study evaluated the out-of-domain performance and generalization capabilities of automated medical image segmentation models, with a particular focus on adaptation to new image acquisitions and disease type. Materials: Datasets from both non-contrast and contrast-enhanced abdominal CT scans of healthy patients and those with polycystic ...

Distinct roles of transcription factors EGL-46 and DAF-19 in specifying the functionality of a polycystin-expressing sensory neuron necessary for C. elegans male vulva location behavior [PDF]
Caenorhabditis elegans polycystins LOV-1 and PKD-2 are expressed in the male-specific HOB neuron, and are necessary for sensation of the hermaphrodite vulva during mating. We demonstrate that male vulva location behavior and expression of lov-1 and pkd-2

De-biased lasso for stratified Cox models with application to the national kidney transplant data [PDF]
The Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) system has become a rich resource for understanding the complex mechanisms of graft failure after kidney transplant, a crucial step for allocating organs effectively and implementing appropriate care.

An excess of gene expression divergence on the X chromosome in Drosophila embryos; implications for the faster-X hypothesis [PDF]
The X chromosome is present as a single copy in the heterogametic sex, and this hemizygosity is expected to drive unusual patterns of evolution on the X relative to the autosomes. For example, the hemizgosity of the X may lead to a lower chromosomal effective population size compared to the autosomes suggesting that the X might be more strongly ...

Emerging targeted strategies for the treatment of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. [PDF]
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a widespread genetic disease that leads to renal failure in the majority of patients. The very first pharmacological treatment, tolvaptan, received Food and Drug Administration approval in 2018 ...

ABSTRACT Cystic kidney diseases (CyKD) are a diverse group of disorders affecting more than 1 in 1000 individuals. Over 120 genes are implicated, primarily encoding components of the primary cilium, transcription factors, and morphogens. Prognosis varies greatly by molecular diagnosis. Causal variants are not identified in 10%–60% of individuals due to

Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease: Case report
Introduction. Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease is the most common heritable cystic renal disease occurring in infancy and childhood. The clinical spectrum of signs and symptoms of this disease is widely variable ranging from perinatal death to a milder progressive form, which cannot be diagnosed until adolescence. Case Outline.

A Rare Diagnosis of Caroli Syndrome in a Young Patient
ABSTRACT Caroli syndrome is a rare but serious congenital disorder associated with portal hypertension and polycystic kidney disease. Early diagnosis via imaging, particularly MRCP, is crucial to prevent life‐threatening complications such as cholangitis and biliary cirrhosis.
