Point Cloud Upsampling as Statistical Shape Model for Pelvic [PDF]

arXiv
We propose a novel framework that integrates medical image segmentation and point cloud upsampling for accurate shape reconstruction of pelvic models. Using the SAM-Med3D model for segmentation and a point cloud upsampling network trained on the MedShapeNet dataset, our method transforms sparse medical imaging data into high-resolution 3D bone models ...

SIRT1 Alleviates Oxidative Stress‐Induced Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Mitochondria‐Associated Membrane Dysregulation in Stress Urinary Incontinence

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
SIRT1 activates mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy by facilitating the PGC‐1α/NRF1/TFAM and PINK1/Parkin signalling pathways and maintains the structural stability of MAMs and the normal expression of calcium channel‐related proteins, which alleviate ER stress and restore mitochondrial function, ultimately improving urodynamic parameters in the SUI
