Loss of primary cilia promotes EphA2‐mediated endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition in the ovarian tumor microenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss of primary cilia in endothelial cells promotes EndMT and vascular abnormalities in the ovarian tumor microenvironment through EphA2 activation. Using human samples, in vitro models, and endothelial‐specific Kif3a‐knockout mice, we show that primary cilia loss drives the acquisition of cancer‐associated fibroblast‐like phenotypes, thereby ...

Impact on Patient Care of a Multidisciplinary Center Specializing in Colorectal and Pelvic Reconstruction

Frontiers in Surgery, 2018
Aim of the study: Many patients with an anorectal malformation (ARM) or pelvic anomaly have associated urologic or gynecologic problems. We hypothesized that our multidisciplinary center, which integrates pediatric colorectal, urologic, gynecologic and ...

Surgical Gym: A high-performance GPU-based platform for reinforcement learning with surgical robots [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Recent advances in robot-assisted surgery have resulted in progressively more precise, efficient, and minimally invasive procedures, sparking a new era of robotic surgical intervention. This enables doctors, in collaborative interaction with robots, to perform traditional or minimally invasive surgeries with improved outcomes through smaller incisions.

Multimodal Semantic Scene Graphs for Holistic Modeling of Surgical Procedures [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
From a computer science viewpoint, a surgical domain model needs to be a conceptual one incorporating both behavior and data. It should therefore model actors, devices, tools, their complex interactions and data flow. To capture and model these, we take advantage of the latest computer vision methodologies for generating 3D scene graphs from camera ...

Interactive and Scale Invariant Segmentation of the Rectum/Sigmoid via User-Defined Templates [PDF]

SPIE Medical Imaging Conference 2016, Paper 9784-113, 2016
Among all types of cancer, gynecological malignancies belong to the 4th most frequent type of cancer among women. Besides chemotherapy and external beam radiation, brachytherapy is the standard procedure for the treatment of these malignancies. In the progress of treatment planning, localization of the tumor as the target volume and adjacent organs of ...

Open‐source deep‐learning models for segmentation of normal structures for prostatic and gynecological high‐dose‐rate brachytherapy: Comparison of architectures

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The use of deep learning‐based auto‐contouring algorithms in various treatment planning services is increasingly common. There is a notable deficit of commercially or publicly available models trained on large or diverse datasets containing high‐dose‐rate (HDR) brachytherapy treatment scans, leading to poor performance on images ...
