MM-SFENet: Multi-scale Multi-task Localization and Classification of Bladder Cancer in MRI with Spatial Feature Encoder Network [PDF]
Background and Objective: Bladder cancer is a common malignant urinary carcinoma, with muscle-invasive and non-muscle-invasive as its two major subtypes. This paper aims to achieve automated bladder cancer invasiveness localization and classification based on MRI. Method: Different from previous efforts that segment bladder wall and tumor, we propose a

Identification of atropine-and P2X1 receptor antagonist-reistant, neurogenic contractions of the urinary bladder [PDF]
Acetylcholine and ATP are excitatory cotransmitters in parasympathetic nerves. We used P2X1 receptor antagonists to further characterize the purinergic component of neurotransmission in isolated detrusor muscle of guinea pig urinary bladder.

Non-invasive urinary bladder volume estimation with artefact-suppressed bio-impedance measurements [PDF]
Urine output is a vital parameter to gauge kidney health. Current monitoring methods include manually written records, invasive urinary catheterization or ultrasound measurements performed by highly skilled personnel. Catheterization bears high risks of infection while intermittent ultrasound measures and manual recording are time consuming and might ...
