Deep Learning for Needle Detection in a Cannulation Simulator [PDF]
Cannulation for hemodialysis is the act of inserting a needle into a surgically created vascular access (e.g., an arteriovenous fistula) for the purpose of dialysis. The main risk associated with cannulation is infiltration, the puncture of the wall of the vascular access after entry, which can cause medical complications.

Fluid-structure interaction modelling and stabilisation of a patient-specific arteriovenous access fistula [PDF]
A patient-specific fluid-structure interaction (FSI) model of a phase-contrast magnetic resonance angiography (PC-MRA) imaged arteriovenous fistula is presented. The numerical model is developed and simulated using a commercial multiphysics simulation package where a semi-implicit FSI coupling scheme combines a finite volume method blood flow model and

Deep denoising autoencoder-based non-invasive blood flow detection for arteriovenous fistula [PDF]
Clinical guidelines underscore the importance of regularly monitoring and surveilling arteriovenous fistula (AVF) access in hemodialysis patients to promptly detect any dysfunction. Although phono-angiography/sound analysis overcomes the limitations of standardized AVF stenosis diagnosis tool, prior studies have depended on conventional feature ...

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 ...

A road map through the multi‐faceted world of female genital cosmetic surgical techniques
Abstract The demand for female genital cosmetic surgery (FGCS) has significantly increased in recent years for two reasons: the advancement of surgical operations and the increased attention to women's esthetic and sexual well‐being. Three authors independently analyzed different databases up to April 1, 2024.
