Complete urethral disruption after motor vehicle crash without pelvic fracture.

Urethral injuries are rare among the pediatric population, and the majority occur after trauma. This is the case of an eight-year-old female with complete proximal urethral disruption and ruptured bladder neck without pelvic fracture after a motor vehicle crash. After the accident, her bladder neck was reapproximated and a suprapubic tube was placed.

LAMA: Lesion-Aware Mixup Augmentation for Skin Lesion Segmentation.

Deep learning can exceed dermatologists' diagnostic accuracy in experimental image environments. However, inaccurate segmentation of images with multiple skin lesions can be seen with current methods. Thus, information present in multiple-lesion images, available to specialists, is not retrievable by machine learning.

Hybrid Topological Data Analysis and Deep Learning for Basal Cell Carcinoma Diagnosis.

A critical clinical indicator for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the presence of telangiectasia (narrow, arborizing blood vessels) within the skin lesions. Many skin cancer imaging processes today exploit deep learning (DL) models for diagnosis, segmentation of features, and feature analysis. To extend automated diagnosis, recent computational intelligence research has also explored the field of Topological Data Analysis (TDA), a branch of mathematics that uses topology to extract meaningful information from highly complex data.

Basal Cell Carcinoma Diagnosis with Fusion of Deep Learning and Telangiectasia Features.

In recent years, deep learning (DL) has been used extensively and successfully to diagnose different cancers in dermoscopic images. However, most approaches lack clinical inputs supported by dermatologists that could aid in higher accuracy and explainability. To dermatologists, the presence of telangiectasia, or narrow blood vessels that typically appear serpiginous or arborizing, is a critical indicator of basal cell carcinoma (BCC).
