A transfer-learning approach for lesion detection in endoscopic images from the urinary tract [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Ureteroscopy and cystoscopy are the gold standard methods to identify and treat tumors along the urinary tract. It has been reported that during a normal procedure a rate of 10-20 % of the lesions could be missed. In this work we study the implementation of 3 different Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), using a 2-steps training strategy, to classify

Functional Biomaterials Derived from Protein Liquid–Liquid Phase Separation and Liquid‐to‐Solid Transition

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Protein can undergo liquid–liquid phase separation and liquid‐to‐solid transition to form liquid condensates and solid aggregates. These phase transitions can be influenced by post‐translational modifications, mutations, and various environmental factors.

Optimal duration of antimicrobial prophylaxis in patients undergoing distal pancreatectomy: A multicenter cohort study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Prolonged administration of antimicrobial prophylaxis might not be effective to prevent surgical site infections after distal pancreatectomy compared to intraoperative or up to 24‐h administration. Abstract Background Antimicrobial prophylaxis is routinely administered in patients undergoing distal pancreatectomy, with cephalosporins being the most ...

Detection of the most influential variables for preventing postpartum urinary incontinence using machine learning techniques [PDF]

Digital Health, Volume 8, 2022, 20552076221111289
Background: Postpartum urinary incontinence (PUI) is a common issue among postnatal women. Previous studies identified potential related variables, but lacked analysis on certain intrinsic and extrinsic patient variables during pregnancy. Objective: The study aims to evaluate the most influential variables in PUI using machine learning, focusing on ...

Semi-Automatic Labeling and Semantic Segmentation of Gram-Stained Microscopic Images from DIBaS Dataset [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
In this paper, a semi-automatic annotation of bacteria genera and species from DIBaS dataset is implemented using clustering and thresholding algorithms. A Deep learning model is trained to achieve the semantic segmentation and classification of the bacteria species. Classification accuracy of 95% is achieved.

Reoperative pouch surgery for suspected Crohn's‐related complications aided by biologic coverage: Early experience from an inflammatory bowel disease center

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This paper demonstrates that revisional/redo ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) surgery with concurrent biologic therapy provides a viable, stoma‐free alternative for patients with Crohn's disease‐like complications, showing a high functioning pouch rate and expanding options for managing pouch failure.

Accuracy of pre-operative fistula diagnostics in anorectal malformations

BMC Pediatrics, 2021
Background Surgical safety during posterior sagittal anorectal plasty (PSARP) for anorectal malformations (ARM) depends on accurate pre-operative fistula localization. This study aimed to evaluate accuracy of pre-operative fistula diagnostics.
