Machine-Learning-Enhanced Soft Robotic System Inspired by Rectal Functions for Investigating Fecal incontinence [PDF]
arXivFecal incontinence, arising from a myriad of pathogenic mechanisms, has attracted considerable global attention. Despite its significance, the replication of the defecatory system for studying fecal incontinence mechanisms remains limited largely due to social stigma and taboos. Inspired by the rectum's functionalities, we have developed a soft robotic

Colorectal cancers differ in respect of PARP-1 protein expression [PDF]
Polish Journal of Pathology 2012; 2: 87-92, 2012 Recent findings raise the possibility of PARP inhibitor therapy in colorectal cancers(CRCs). However, the extent of PARP-1 protein expression in clinical specimens of CRC is not known. Using immunohistochemistry we assessed PARP-1 protein expression in tissue microarrays of 151 CRCs and its association with the patient's age, sex, Astler-Coller stage ...

Constructing Lower-Bounds for CTL Escape Rates in Early HIV and SIV Infection [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Intrahost simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) evolution is marked by repeated viral escape from cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTLs) response. Typically, the first such CTL escape occurs in a matter of days, starting around the time of peak viral load. Many authors have developed methods to quantify the strength of CTL response by measuring the rate at which ...

Meply: A Large-scale Dataset and Baseline Evaluations for Metastatic Perirectal Lymph Node Detection and Segmentation [PDF]
arXivAccurate segmentation of metastatic lymph nodes in rectal cancer is crucial for the staging and treatment of rectal cancer. However, existing segmentation approaches face challenges due to the absence of pixel-level annotated datasets tailored for lymph nodes around the rectum.
