A Clinical and Finite Elements Study of Stress Urinary Incontinence in Women Using Fluid-Structure Interactions [PDF]
Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) or urine leakage from urethra occurs due to an increase in abdominal pressure resulting from stress like a cough or jumping height. SUI is more frequent among post-menopausal women. In the absence of bladder contraction, vesical pressure exceeds from urethral pressure leading to urine leakage. Despite a large number of

Hierarchical Phenotyping and Graph Modeling of Spatial Architecture in Lymphoid Neoplasms [PDF]
The cells and their spatial patterns in the tumor microenvironment (TME) play a key role in tumor evolution, and yet the latter remains an understudied topic in computational pathology. This study, to the best of our knowledge, is among the first to hybridize local and global graph methods to profile orchestration and interaction of cellular components.

Studying the emergence of invasiveness in tumours using game theory [PDF]
Tumour cells have to acquire a number of capabilities if a neoplasm is to become a cancer. One of these key capabilities is increased motility which is needed for invasion of other tissues and metastasis. This paper presents a qualitative mathematical model based on game theory and computer simulations using cellular automata.

Network-based community detection of comorbidities and their association with SARS-CoV-2 virus during COVID-19 pathogenesis [PDF]
Recent studies emphasized the necessity to identify key (human) biological processes and pathways targeted by the Coronaviridae family of viruses, especially SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19 caused up to 33-55\% death rates in COVID-19 patients with malignant neoplasms and Alzheimer's disease.

Pathological Analysis of Stress Urinary Incontinence in Females using Artificial Neural Networks [PDF]
Objectives: To mathematically investigate urethral pressure and influencing parameters of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women, with focus on the clinical aspects of the mathematical modeling. Method: Several patients' data are extracted from UPP and urodynamic documents and their relation and affinities are modeled using an artificial neural ...

JulianA: An automatic treatment planning platform for intensity-modulated proton therapy and its application to intra- and extracerebral neoplasms [PDF]
Creating high quality treatment plans is crucial for a successful radiotherapy treatment. However, it demands substantial effort and special training for dosimetrists. Existing automated treatment planning systems typically require either an explicit prioritization of planning objectives, human-assigned objective weights, large amounts of historic ...

Anatomy-Aware Measurement of Segmentation Accuracy [PDF]
Quantifying the accuracy of segmentation and manual delineation of organs, tissue types and tumors in medical images is a necessary measurement that suffers from multiple problems. One major shortcoming of all accuracy measures is that they neglect the anatomical significance or relevance of different zones within a given segment.
