Efficacy of hormone pre‐treatment before ART to improve reproductive outcomes in infertile women with endometriosis: Network meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hormone pre‐treatment is still used before assisted reproductive technique (ART) in endometriotic women, but evidence supporting this recommendation is conflicting. Objectives To evaluate whether hormone pre‐treatment with gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists or progestogens could improve fertility in women with ...

Putative roles of cilia in polycystic kidney disease [PDF]

, 2011
The last 10years has witnessed an explosion in research into roles of cilia in cystic renal disease. Cilia are membrane-enclosed finger-like projections from the cell, usually on the apical surface or facing into a lumen, duct or airway.

Mixed Epithelial and Stromal Tumor of the Kidney in a Patient With Mental Retardation: A Case Report

IJU Case Reports, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Mixed epithelial and stromal tumors are rare renal neoplasms. Case Presentation A 55‐year‐old woman with mental retardation presented with a giant renal tumor with abdominal pain. After a renal biopsy with a definitive diagnosis, an open total nephrectomy was performed. There was no recurrence for the following year.

Clear Cell Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma Incidentally Discovered in a Patient With Normal Renal Function: A Case Report

IJU Case Reports, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Clear cell papillary renal cell carcinoma is a distinct histopathological entity first characterized in patients with end‐stage renal disease. Although increasingly reported in patients with normal renal function, it remains relatively unfamiliar in routine clinical practice.

Semi-Automatic Segmentation of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidneys using Random Forests [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
This paper presents a method for 3D segmentation of kidneys from patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and severe renal insufficiency, using computed tomography (CT) data. ADPKD severely alters the shape of the kidneys due to non-uniform formation of cysts.

Prenatal Diagnosis and Clinical Phenotypic Heterogeneity of 22q11.2 Microdeletion Syndrome Based on a Single Center Retrospective Study

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Chromosome 22q11.2 microdeletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) is a common congenital disorder with high clinical phenotypic heterogeneity. In this study, we retrospectively investigated the incidence of prenatal diagnosis of 22q11.2DS in a single center and summarized its clinical manifestations to expand the phenotypic database ABSTRACT Objective To ...

Automatic Renal Segmentation in DCE-MRI using Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Kidney function evaluation using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) images could help in diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases of children. Automatic segmentation of renal parenchyma is an important step in this process. In this paper, we propose a time and memory efficient fully automated segmentation method which achieves high segmentation ...
