Distributed representation of pelvic floor muscles in human motor cortex

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Human motor cortex can activate pelvic floor muscles (PFM), but the motor cortical representation of the PFM is not well characterized. PFM representation is thought to be focused in the supplementary motor area (SMA). Here we examine the degree to which

The management of erectile dysfunction in men with diabetes mellitus unresponsive to phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors

open access: yesAndrology, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 257-269, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Introduction Erectile dysfunction is associated with diabetes mellitus with an estimated prevalence of 52.5% in the diabetic population. The first‐line therapy for erectile dysfunction is phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, but data suggest that diabetic men may be less responsive than non‐diabetic men.

Recurrent U-net for automatic pelvic floor muscle segmentation on 3D ultrasound [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
The prevalance of pelvic floor problems is high within the female population. Transperineal ultrasound (TPUS) is the main imaging modality used to investigate these problems. Automating the analysis of TPUS data will help in growing our understanding of pelvic floor related problems.

In vivo assessment of the elastic properties of women’s pelvic floor during pregnancy using shear wave elastography: design and protocol of the ELASTOPELV study

open access: yesBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2020
Background Animal studies have reported an increase in pelvic floor muscle stiffness during pregnancy, which might be a protective process against perineal trauma at delivery. Our main objective is to describe the changes in the elastic properties of the

Pelvic Floor Muscles Contribution in Surgical Outcome of Children with High-type Anorectal Malformations

open access: yesPrague Medical Report, 2021
As a consequence of high-type anorectal malformations (ARMs) pathogenesis, the pelvic floor muscles remain severely underdeveloped or hypoplastic, the rectal pouch is located at the level or above the puborectalis sling, and the bowel terminates outside ...

Pelvic floor MRI segmentation based on semi-supervised deep learning [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
The semantic segmentation of pelvic organs via MRI has important clinical significance. Recently, deep learning-enabled semantic segmentation has facilitated the three-dimensional geometric reconstruction of pelvic floor organs, providing clinicians with accurate and intuitive diagnostic results.

Three-dimensional reconstruction and characterization of bladder deformations [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Background and Objective: Pelvic floor disorders are prevalent diseases and patient care remains difficult as the dynamics of the pelvic floor remains poorly known. So far, only 2D dynamic observations of straining exercises at excretion are available in the clinics and the understanding of three-dimensional pelvic organs mechanical defects is not yet ...
