A computational study of viscoelastic blood flow in an arteriovenous fistula [PDF]
A finite element analysis of flows of an Oldroyd-B fluid is developed, to simulate blood flow in an arteriovenous fistula. The model uses a combination of a standard conforming finite element approximation for the momentum equation, and the discontinuous Galerkin method, with upwinding, for the equation governing the evolution of the extra stress.

Hypergraphs Demonstrate Anastomoses During Divergent Integration [PDF]
Complex networks can be used to analyze structures and systems in the embryo. Not only can we characterize growth and the emergence of form, but also differentiation. The process of differentiation from precursor cell populations to distinct functional tissues is of particular interest.

Diagnosis and Management of Ureterovaginal Fistula in a Resource-Constrained Setting: Experience at a District Hospital in Northern Nigeria [PDF]
During 2007 we were invited at different times to review and manage four women with ureterovaginal fistula following caesarean section performed in different rural hospitals. We describe our experience of a simple technique of diagnosis and management of

Urologic Fistulas in Czech Women With Gynaecologic Malignancies
ABSTRACT Introduction In developed countries, urologic fistulas arise mainly from malignancies, radiotherapy, or surgical trauma. Hysterectomy and radiation therapy are both critical components of the treatment of women with cancers. Urologic fistulas significantly reduce the quality of life of cancer patients, and may result in delays or even refusal ...

U-Net-and-a-half: Convolutional network for biomedical image segmentation using multiple expert-driven annotations [PDF]
Development of deep learning systems for biomedical segmentation often requires access to expert-driven, manually annotated datasets. If more than a single expert is involved in the annotation of the same images, then the inter-expert agreement is not necessarily perfect, and no single expert annotation can precisely capture the so-called ground truth ...

Risk factors for obstetric fistula: a clinical review [PDF]
Obstetric fistula is the presence of a hole between a woman’s genital tract and either the urinary or the intestinal tract. Better knowledge of the risk factors for obstetric fistula could help in preventing its occurrence.
