Combining Pyramid Pooling and Attention Mechanism for Pelvic MR Image Semantic Segmentaion [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 One of the time-consuming routine work for a radiologist is to discern anatomical structures from tomographic images. For assisting radiologists, this paper develops an automatic segmentation method for pelvic magnetic resonance (MR) images. The task has three major challenges 1) A pelvic organ can have various sizes and shapes depending on the axial ...

Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract Background Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a condition commonly classified as either psychogenic or organic. Traditional age‐based categorizations are considered overly simplistic, yet many clinicians continue to rely on initial evaluation—patient symptoms and history, physical examination, blood tests, and questionnaires—for diagnosis due to ...

What the %PCSA? Addressing Diversity in Lower-Limb Musculoskeletal Models: Age- and Sex-related Differences in PCSA and Muscle Mass [PDF]
arXivMusculoskeletal (MSK) models offer a non-invasive way to understand biomechanical loads on joints and tendons, which are difficult to measure directly. Variations in muscle strength, especially relative differences between muscles, significantly impact model outcomes.

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 ...

Effects of strength training on quality of life in pregnant women: A systematic review
Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.Strength trainingduring pregnancy offers unique benefits, including reduced excessive weight gain, alleviated pain, improved mood, and enhanced health‐related quality of life. Incorporating strength training into exercise guidelines for pregnant women could optimize maternal health, but future research needs standardized methodologies and detailed ...

A Category-Fragment Segmentation Framework for Pelvic Fracture Segmentation in X-ray Images [PDF]
Pelvic fractures, often caused by high-impact trauma, frequently require surgical intervention. Imaging techniques such as CT and 2D X-ray imaging are used to transfer the surgical plan to the operating room through image registration, enabling quick intraoperative adjustments.
