DOES THE WANGENSTEEN X-RAY EXAMINATION ALWAYS REVEAL US ALL THE SIGNS OF RECTAL ATRESIA?
Purpose. To evaluate the diagnostic value of X-ray Wangensteen examination in case of rectal atresia in newborns.Materials and Methods. 27 newborns were examined: with a simple form atresia (11), with a rectovestibular fistula (9) andwith rectoperineal ...

Moving from 2D to 3D: volumetric medical image classification for rectal cancer staging [PDF]
Volumetric images from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provide invaluable information in preoperative staging of rectal cancer. Above all, accurate preoperative discrimination between T2 and T3 stages is arguably both the most challenging and clinically significant task for rectal cancer treatment, as chemo-radiotherapy is usually recommended to ...

Difficult management of posterior urethra gunshot wound combined with urethro-rectal fistula
Posterior urethra gunshot wounds are poorly described in the literature. They are often associated with pelvic vital lesions making difficult early repair of urethral injuries.

CARE: A Large Scale CT Image Dataset and Clinical Applicable Benchmark Model for Rectal Cancer Segmentation [PDF]
Rectal cancer segmentation of CT image plays a crucial role in timely clinical diagnosis, radiotherapy treatment, and follow-up. Although current segmentation methods have shown promise in delineating cancerous tissues, they still encounter challenges in achieving high segmentation precision.

High fidelity blood flow in a patient-specific arteriovenous fistula [PDF]
An arteriovenous fistula, created by artificially connecting segments of a patient's vasculature, is the preferred way to gain access to the bloodstream for kidney dialysis. The increasing power and availability of supercomputing infrastructure means that it is becoming more realistic to use simulations to help identify the best type and location of a ...

Kasabach-Merritt syndrome arising from an Enteroatmospheric Fistula [PDF]
Kasabach-Merritt syndrome (KMS) is a rare, life-threatening condition that is characterized by profound thrombocytopenia, hypofibrinogenemia, elevated partial thromboplastin time, and may also be associated with microangiopathic hemolytic anemia. It is well established that this phenomenon is notably associated with the vascular tumors kaposiform ...

Management of rectal injury during laparoscopic radical prostatectomy
PURPOSE: Because laparoscopic radical prostatectomy remains a challenging procedure, rectal injury is always a potential complication. We review the incidence of rectal injuries at our institution in the first 110 consecutive laparoscopic extraperitoneal

Covariance Self-Attention Dual Path UNet for Rectal Tumor Segmentation [PDF]
Deep learning algorithms are preferable for rectal tumor segmentation. However, it is still a challenge task to accurately segment and identify the locations and sizes of rectal tumors by using deep learning methods. To increase the capability of extracting enough feature information for rectal tumor segmentation, we propose a Covariance Self-Attention
