Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), a biomarker secreted by Sertoli cells in the testes, has emerged as a critical indicator of male reproductive function with significant clinical application potential. AMH reflects Sertoli cell activity and plays a pivotal role across different stages of male gonadal function. Firstly, in prepubertal males, AMH levels are crucial for assessing testicular development and the progression of puberty, with delayed or insufficient AMH secretion often being associated with disorders like delayed puberty.

Botulinum toxin (BoNT) has traditionally been utilized to relieve tension in muscular and connective tissue diseases (CTD). However, its usage has rapidly expanded and now encompasses usage for neurological, gastrointestinal, psychological, cardiovascular, ophthalmology, orthopedics, and more. More recently, its usage has been utilized for sequelae of CTDs such as Raynaud's disease and reduced oral aperture secondary to scleroderma/systemic sclerosis.

Introduction: Neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and epilepsy, pose significant diagnostic and treatment challenges due to their complexity and the gradual degeneration of central nervous system structures. This study introduces a deep learning framework designed to automate neuro-diagnostics, addressing the limitations of current manual interpretation methods, which are often time-consuming and prone to variability.

Methods: We propose a specialized deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) framework aimed at detecting and classifying neurological anomalies in MRI data.

Dynamic functional connectivity (DFC) has shown promise in the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, extracting highly discriminative information from the complex DFC matrix remains a challenging task. In this paper, we propose an ASD classification framework PSA-FCN which is based on time-aligned DFC and Prob-Sparse Self-Attention to address this problem.

Urinary fistulae are abnormal connections between the urinary system and adjacent body parts, often resulting from factors such as infection, radiation, malignancy, protracted labor, gynecologic surgery, and gastrointestinal tract surgery. These fistulae can lead to persistent urinary incontinence, skin breakdown, social humiliation, psychosocial trauma, and severe infections. Current treatments include surgical repair, urinary diversion, and ureteral embolization, though these can have complications and are not always successful or feasible for all patients.
