Automatic segmentation method of pelvic floor levator hiatus in ultrasound using a self-normalising neural network [PDF]

, 2017
Segmentation of the levator hiatus in ultrasound allows to extract biometrics which are of importance for pelvic floor disorder assessment. In this work, we present a fully automatic method using a convolutional neural network (CNN) to outline the levator hiatus in a 2D image extracted from a 3D ultrasound volume.

Fibromatosis involving pelvic floor muscles

BJR|case reports, 2016
Fibromatosis or desmoid tumour is a benign fibroblastic proliferation with aggressive infiltrative growth. High incidence of recurrence is noted after incomplete resection of the involved margins of the lesion. Pelvic fibromatosis is a rare condition and usually affects females.

Polymer Brush‐Based Asymmetric Porous Patch with Excellent Anti‐Bacterial and Anti‐Contamination Properties Enables Infectious Abdominal Wall Defect Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A zwitterionic asymmetric patch is developed via self‐induced phase separation. The cationic layer exhibits anti‐bacterial efficacy and releases pro‐healing factor, while the zwitterionic hydrogel prevents contamination and visceral adhesion. The strong mechanical interlocking of two layers leads to a high and stable burst pressure tolerance.

Fully Automated Organ Segmentation in Male Pelvic CT Images [PDF]

Balagopal A, Kazemifar S, Nguyen D, Lin M H, Hannan R, Owrangi A and Jiang S 2018 Fully automated organ segmentation in male pelvic CT images Phys. Med. Biol. 63 245015, 2018
Accurate segmentation of prostate and surrounding organs at risk is important for prostate cancer radiotherapy treatment planning. We present a fully automated workflow for male pelvic CT image segmentation using deep learning. The architecture consists of a 2D localization network followed by a 3D segmentation network for volumetric segmentation of ...

A Soft Wearable Robot with an Adjustable Twisted String Actuator and a Two‐Stage Transmission Mechanism for Manual Handling Tasks

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article proposes a soft wearable robot (WeaRo) to assist workers while executing manual handling tasks. With its innovative design, the WeaRo effectively assists multiple body parts during manual handling tasks while using a single motor. Furthermore, the components of the WeaRo are assembled onto a fabric‐based suit, ensuring high performance and

Influence of adequate pelvic floor muscle contraction on the movement of the coccyx during pelvic floor muscle training

Journal of Physical Therapy Science, 2018
[Purpose] Pelvic floor muscle training is a first-line therapy for female stress urinary incontinence. Previous studies have suggested that the coccyx tip moves ventrally and cranially during pelvic floor muscle contraction. The study aimed to elucidate the influence of adequate pelvic floor muscle contraction on coccyx movement. [Subjects and Methods]

Lineage labeling with zebrafish hand2 Cre and CreERT2 recombinase CRISPR knock‐ins

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The ability to generate endogenous Cre recombinase drivers using CRISPR‐Cas9 knock‐in technology allows lineage tracing, cell type‐specific gene studies, and in vivo validation of inferred developmental trajectories from phenotypic and gene expression analyses. This report describes endogenous zebrafish hand2 Cre and CreERT2 drivers
