Automation of Radiation Treatment Planning for Rectal Cancer [PDF]
To develop an automated workflow for rectal cancer three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy treatment planning that combines deep-learning(DL) aperture predictions and forward-planning algorithms. We designed an algorithm to automate the clinical workflow for planning with field-in-field. DL models were trained, validated, and tested on 555 patients to

Image Synthesis-based Late Stage Cancer Augmentation and Semi-Supervised Segmentation for MRI Rectal Cancer Staging [PDF]
Rectal cancer is one of the most common diseases and a major cause of mortality. For deciding rectal cancer treatment plans, T-staging is important. However, evaluating the index from preoperative MRI images requires high radiologists' skill and experience.

The role of perineural invasion in predicting survival in patients with primary operable colorectal cancer: a systematic review [PDF]
Perineural invasion is a clear route for cancer cell spread however, the role of nerves in cancer progression is relatively unknown. Recent work would suggest that nerves can actively infiltrate the tumour microenvironment and stimulate cancer cell ...

Severity of experimental escherichia-coli mastitis in ketonemic and nonketonemic dairy-cows. [PDF]
The severity of experimental Escherichia coli mastitis in relation to in vitro chemotaxis of polymorphonuclear leukocytes was investigated in cows during negative energy balance. The negative energy balance was induced by feed restriction.

Effect of In-vivo Heat Challenge on Physiological Parameters and Function of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells in Immune Phenotyped Dairy Cattle [PDF]
The frequency of heat waves are increasing due to climate change, which leads to an increase in the occurrence of heat stress in dairy cattle. Previous studies have shown that dairy cattle identified as high immune responders have a reduced incidence of disease and improved vaccine response compared to average and low responders.

Reducing the Model Variance of a Rectal Cancer Segmentation Network [PDF]
In preoperative imaging, the demarcation of rectal cancer with magnetic resonance images provides an important basis for cancer staging and treatment planning. Recently, deep learning has greatly improved the state-of-the-art method in automatic segmentation.

Experimental Approval of the Efficacy of the Combined Composition Rectal Cream New Test-samples in the Conditions of Acute Complicated Anal Fissure in Rats [PDF]
Anal fissure (AF) is one of the most common anorectal problems. The severity of the disease, the chronicity of the pathological process and frequent complications lead to a sharp deterioration in the quality of life of patients. An important place in the
