PCONet: A Convolutional Neural Network Architecture to Detect Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) from Ovarian Ultrasound Images [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is an endrocrinological dysfunction prevalent among women of reproductive age. PCOS is a combination of syndromes caused by an excess of androgens - a group of sex hormones - in women. Syndromes including acne, alopecia, hirsutism, hyperandrogenaemia, oligo-ovulation, etc. are caused by PCOS. It is also a major cause of

A sharp interface Lagrangian-Eulerian method for rigid-body fluid-structure interaction [PDF]
, 2020 This paper introduces a sharp interface method to simulate fluid-structure interaction (FSI) involving rigid bodies immersed in viscous incompressible fluids. The capabilities of this methodology are demonstrated for a range of benchmark test cases along with large-scale models of biomedical FSI.
