Detection of bladder cancer with feature fusion, transfer learning and CapsNets
Freitas, Nuno Renato Azevedo; Vieira, Pedro Miguel; Cordeiro, Agostinho; Tinoco, Catarina; Morais, Nuno; Torres, João Nuno Braga PimentelThis paper confronts two approaches to classify bladder lesions shown in white light cystoscopy images when using small datasets: the classical one, where handcrafted-based features feed pattern recognition systems and the modern deep learning-based (DL) approach. In between, there are alternative DL models that had not received wide attention from the scientific community, even though they can be more appropri...
A narrative synthesis of research evidence for tinnitus-related complaints as r...
Hall, Deborah Ann; Fackrell, Kathryn; Li, Anne Beatrice; Thavayogan, Rachel; Smith, Sandra; Kennedy, Veronica; Tinoco, Catarina; Rodrigues, Evelina D.Background: There are a large number of assessment tools for tinnitus, with little consensus on what it is important to measure and no preference for a minimum reporting standard.

This review is thus the first compr...

Partial reconstruction of the auricle - A new onestage technique
Campelo, Paula; Oliveira Carmo, Diogo; Branco, Margarida; Tinoco, Catarina; Caroça, Cristina; Paço, JoãoAuricular reconstruction after traumatic ear loss remains a challenge in Otolaryngology and Facial Plastic Surgery. The variety of techniques described in literature shows the intrinsic difficulty of reconstructing a structure with such a delicate architecture. In this work we propose a new single-stage reconstructive technique of a partially avulsed ear. We present a case of a 23-year-old male individual, vict...
