Evaluating Cost‐Effective Strategies for Asymptomatic Microhematuria Diagnosis: A Risk‐Based Alternative to the American Urological Association Guidelines

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives The American Urological Association (AUA) guidelines recommend evaluating asymptomatic microhematuria (MH) at ≥ 3 red blood cells per high powered field (RBCs/hpf), resulting in significant costs with limited bladder cancer detections.

Quantitative Dynamic Contrast‐Enhanced Ultrasound Confirms Renal Obstruction

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives To evaluate dynamic contrast‐enhanced ultrasound (DCEUS) potential for diagnosing ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). We hypothesize that DCEUS can identify differences in renal parenchymal microcirculation between normal and obstructed kidneys.

Establishment of a Predictive Model for the Efficacy of High‐Intensity Focused Ultrasound in the Treatment of Uterine Fibroids

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives High‐intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has demonstrated efficacy as a non‐invasive treatment for uterine fibroids, though individual variability exists. This study aims to develop a risk scoring model using clinical and biochemical features to predict HIFU treatment outcomes.

Development of a Decellularized Urinary Bladder Matrix and Heparin‐Based Cryogel for Promoting Angiogenesis

Macromolecular Bioscience, EarlyView.
A dECM‐based cryogel scaffold with sustained VEGF release is developed to promote angiogenesis in ischemic tissues. Fabricated from decellularized porcine urinary bladder matrix and heparin, the scaffold supports VEGF binding and prolonged release. The cryogel demonstrates enhanced angiogenic potential in vitro and in a murine hindlimb ischemia model ...

Breaking Boundaries: Chronic Diseases and the Frontiers of Immune Microenvironments

Med Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The immune microenvironment includes immune cells, cytokines, extracellular matrix, vesicles, etc. The interactions between these components form a unique local immune microecology. Although immunity serves as the defense against external pathogens, aberrant immune activation often contributes to disease development.

Transcutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation for Overactive Bladder Symptoms in Parkinson's Disease: Results from a Phase II Randomized Control Trial (STRIPE)

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are common Parkinson's disease (PD), causing great impact. Objective The goal was to undertake a phase II randomized control trial of transcutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (TTNS) delivered by Geko device for LUTS related to overactive bladder (OAB) in PD, an easy to use of the shelf solution ...

Genetic Risk Factors in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: What We Know and What Is Next

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Knowledge of the genetic factors in normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is rapidly evolving, with significant advances in recent years. We conducted a systematic review examining genetic contributions to NPH risk. Ovid Embase, Ovid Medline, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central were searched from inception through October 14, 2024, for human ...

Characterization of artificial intelligence performance for lesion detection using synthetic lesions in PET imaging

Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The use of artificial intelligence (AI) for lesion detection has witnessed increased interest and efforts in recent years. Meanwhile, task‐specific characterization and comparison of AI performance is lacking as supportive evidence prior to its implementation in the clinical setting.
