Deep Learning to Segment Pelvic Bones: Large-scale CT Datasets and Baseline Models [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Purpose: Pelvic bone segmentation in CT has always been an essential step in clinical diagnosis and surgery planning of pelvic bone diseases. Existing methods for pelvic bone segmentation are either hand-crafted or semi-automatic and achieve limited accuracy when dealing with image appearance variations due to the multi-site domain shift, the presence ...

Cross-modality image synthesis from unpaired data using CycleGAN: Effects of gradient consistency loss and training data size [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
CT is commonly used in orthopedic procedures. MRI is used along with CT to identify muscle structures and diagnose osteonecrosis due to its superior soft tissue contrast. However, MRI has poor contrast for bone structures. Clearly, it would be helpful if a corresponding CT were available, as bone boundaries are more clearly seen and CT has standardized

Boosting Segmentation Performance across datasets using histogram specification with application to pelvic bone segmentation [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Accurate segmentation of the pelvic CTs is crucial for the clinical diagnosis of pelvic bone diseases and for planning patient-specific hip surgeries. With the emergence and advancements of deep learning for digital healthcare, several methodologies have been proposed for such segmentation tasks.

Impact of levator ani muscle avulsions on Manchester procedure outcomes: A 5‐year follow‐up study

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.
Despite an inferior anatomical anterior compartment outcome 5 years after the Manchester procedure in women with levator ani muscle avulsions, the avulsions had no negative impact on patient‐reported outcomes or the need for additional treatment. Abstract Introduction Levator ani muscle avulsion is a risk factor for inferior outcomes after native ...

Intravaginal devices for running‐induced urinary incontinence symptoms in females: a study protocol

BJU International, EarlyView.
Background Exercise‐induced urinary incontinence (UI) can hinder physical activity, particularly in women engaging in high‐impact activities. This condition is linked to reduced passive support of the urethra and bladder. Intravaginal devices that support pelvic structures may offer a solution, but high‐quality evidence is lacking.

High‐throughput screening identifies bazedoxifene as a potential therapeutic for dysferlin‐deficient limb girdle muscular dystrophy

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Limb‐girdle muscular dystrophy R2 (LGMD R2) is a rare genetic disorder characterised by progressive weakness and wasting of proximal muscles. LGMD R2 is caused by the loss of function of dysferlin, a transmembrane protein crucial for plasma membrane repair in skeletal muscles.
