3D Kidneys and Kidney Tumor Semantic Segmentation using Boundary-Aware Networks [PDF]
Automated segmentation of kidneys and kidney tumors is an important step in quantifying the tumor's morphometrical details to monitor the progression of the disease and accurately compare decisions regarding the kidney tumor treatment. Manual delineation techniques are often tedious, error-prone and require expert knowledge for creating unambiguous ...

Abstract Background Blood pressure is a crucial risk factor for hemodialysis patients, but the specific impact of weather factors, particularly barometric pressure, on blood pressure remains unclear. This study aims to examine the relationship between barometric pressure and blood pressure in hemodialysis patients. Methods We conducted a single‐center,

Human asthenozoospermia: Update on genetic causes, patient management, and clinical strategies
Abstract Background In mammals, sperm fertilization potential relies on efficient progression within the female genital tract to reach and fertilize the oocyte. This fundamental property is supported by the flagellum, an evolutionarily conserved organelle, which contains dynein motor proteins that provide the mechanical force for sperm propulsion and ...

Apoptosis in polycystic kidney disease
Apoptosis is the process of programmed cell death. It is a ubiquitous, controlled process consuming cellular energy and designed to avoid cytokine release despite activation of local immune cells, which clear the cell fragments. The process occurs during organ development and in maintenance of homeostasis.
