ABSTRACT Introduction Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a cost‐effective method used for preoperative diagnosis of salivary gland lesions. Due to the wide range of tumor types, overlapping morphology, and limited cellularity, diagnosing salivary gland lesions on FNAC can be challenging.

Polycystic Diseases in Visceral Organs
Primary cilia are nonmotile, microtubule-based, antenna-like organelles projecting from the apical surface of most mammalian cells. Elegant studies have established the importance of ciliary structure and function in signal transduction and the sensory ...

Dynamics of primary cilia in endothelial and mesenchymal cells throughout mouse lung development
Abstract Cilia are specialized structures found on a variety of mammalian cells, with variable roles in the transduction of mechanical and biological signals (by primary cilia, PC), as well as in the generation of fluid flow (by motile cilia). Their critical role in the establishment of a left–right axis in early development is well described, as well ...

Semi-Automatic Segmentation of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidneys using Random Forests [PDF]
This paper presents a method for 3D segmentation of kidneys from patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and severe renal insufficiency, using computed tomography (CT) data. ADPKD severely alters the shape of the kidneys due to non-uniform formation of cysts.

Insulin-like growth factor-1 induces hyperproliferation of PKD1 cystic cells via a Ras/Raf dependent signalling pathway [PDF]
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) largely results from mutations in the PKD1 gene leading to hyperproliferation of renal tubular epithelial cells and consequent cyst formation.

A Classification-Based Adaptive Segmentation Pipeline: Feasibility Study Using Polycystic Liver Disease and Metastases from Colorectal Cancer CT Images [PDF]
Automated segmentation tools often encounter accuracy and adaptability issues when applied to images of different pathology. The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility of building a workflow to efficiently route images to specifically trained segmentation models.

Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease: Core Curriculum 2016.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common monogenic kidney disease. It is characterized by relentless development of kidney cysts, hypertension, and eventually end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

Central Obesity and BMI Associated with Different Phenotypes of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Adolescent [PDF]
Adipose tissue distribution is effective in metabolic complications resulting from obesity. Fat accumulation in the body, particularly increase in visceral fat, is a major risk factor of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
