A multivariate Bayesian learning approach for improved detection of doping in athletes using urinary steroid profiles [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Biomarker analysis of athletes' urinary steroid profiles is crucial for the success of anti-doping efforts. Current statistical analysis methods generate personalised limits for each athlete based on univariate modelling of longitudinal biomarker values from the urinary steroid profile.

Exploit fully automatic low-level segmented PET data for training high-level deep learning algorithms for the corresponding CT data [PDF]
PLoS ONE 14(3): e0212550 (2019), 2019 We present an approach for fully automatic urinary bladder segmentation in CT images with artificial neural networks in this study. Automatic medical image analysis has become an invaluable tool in the different treatment stages of diseases. Especially medical image segmentation plays a vital role, since segmentation is often the initial step in an ...

Detection of the most influential variables for preventing postpartum urinary incontinence using machine learning techniques [PDF]
Digital Health, Volume 8, 2022, 20552076221111289Background: 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 ...

A Clinical and Finite Elements Study of Stress Urinary Incontinence in Women Using Fluid-Structure Interactions [PDF]
, 2017 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

Native tissue repair of the female pelvic floor: A four‐level surgical concept
International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.Abstract This review describes our experience with native tissue repair of the visceral pelvic fascia, the perineum, and anal sphincters in women. We propose that complex repair of the pelvic floor should consider vaginal support in all three anatomical Delancey's levels, together with more caudal structures—the external and internal anal sphincters ...
