EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractNeutrophil Extracellular Traps as Therapeutic Targets for Inflammatory DiseaseRory R. KoenenNeutrophilic granulocytes, or neutrophils are the most abundant circulating white blood cell and constitute a first line of defense against pathogens. They are characterized by a large polymorphic lobular nucleus and the presence of many secretory granules in their cytoplasm. Neutrophils are essential for a functional host defense, as is evidenced by the occurrence of severe infections in individuals with … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 25 Feb 2015 · 8,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Economic System for Screening of Diabetic Retinopathy Using Fundus ImagesG.S. Annie Grace Vimala, S. Kaja MohideenDelayed length of time of the diabetes may influence the tiny blood vessels of the retina bringing about Diabetic Retinopathy (DR). It is one of the major root causes of the blindness across the globe. Routine eye screening of patients with diabetes serves to discover DR at the early stage. The conventional visual assessment protocol is time consuming and laborious. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 5 Jan 2015 · 6,912 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProblems of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic RaysAnna V. UrysonCosmic rays are energetic particles coming to the Earth from space. They bombard the atmosphere producing cascades of particles that spread over a large area when they reach the ground. Cosmic ray energies vary in the wide band from about 108 eV up to few 1020 eV. It is established that most particles with energies of ~ (108-109) eV come … …Space Science International, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 6 Dec 2014 · 13,865 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPROBABLE CREUTZFELDT JAKOB DISEASE: CASE REPORTYanes Brum Bello, Alexandre Cossenza Pettezzoni De Almeida, Daniela Mendonca Sueth et al.Prion diseases are associated with the accumulation of an abnormal isoformof cellular prion protein (PrPSc), which is the principal constituent of prions. Prions replicate in lymphoreticular tissues before neuroinvasion, suggesting that lymphoreticular biopsy samples may allow early diagnosis by detection of PrPSc. Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) is the most frequent prion disease in humans. Clinical diagnosis of sporadic (CJD) is based … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 14 Mar 2014 · 8,135 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF GRAY LEVEL CO-OCCURRENCE MATRIX TEXTURE FEATURES FOR GLAUCOMA DIAGNOSISSakthivel Karthikeyan, N. RengarajanGlaucoma is a multifactorial optic neuropathy disease characterized by elevated Intra Ocular Pressure (IOP). As the visual loss caused by the disease is irreversible, early detection is essential. Fundus images are used as input and it is preprocessed using histogram equalization. First order features from histogram and second order features from Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) are extracted from the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 24 Dec 2013 · 7,332 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStaphylococcus aureus Nasal Carriage Among Injecting and Non-Injecting Drug Users and Antimicrobial SusceptibilityMojtaba Varshochi, Zahra Attari, Alka Hasani, Ali SeidiStaphylococcus Aureus (SA) is one of the most prevalent bacterial pathogens in human beings. Approximately 20% of healthy persons are persistent carriers and 60% are intermittent carriers of SA. Nasal cavity is one of the most important sites of its colonization. Intravenous (IV) drug abuse has been proposed as a risk factor for colonization of SA in the nasal mucosa. … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 23 May 2013 · 7,315 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEpigenetic Mechanisms in Hepatitis C Virus-Associated Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Potential New Link Between Stem Cells, Virology and CancerQinghua Feng, Sajida Hassan, Trina Das et al.Recent studies suggest that epigenetic mechanisms are not only essential for the dynamic transcriptional regulation in embryonic and somatic stem cells, but are also actively involved in tumorigenesis: genes important for pluripotency are epigenetically regulated and aberrant epigenetic changes have been detected in virtually all human malignancies studied, including Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). Infection with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Mar 2013 · 8,039 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancement of Quality of Service Parameters in Wimax Mobile NetworksChandra, HelenPrabhaNext generation mobile networks are expected to provide seamless personal mobile communication and QoS. Since the demands for high speed Internet access as well as multimedia service had increased for last mile broadband access, the Scheduling is one of the most important components of BWA systems that affect system QoS provided to users. Priority queuing gives better throughput than the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 7 Nov 2012 · 6,839 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiagnosis Value of Bone Marrow Study in the Disseminated Infection by Mycobacteria: Case ReportAna Guadalupe Mauricio Campos, Francisco De Paz Andres, Paola Beneit et al.The bone marrow examination is useful in order to get an etiologic diagnosis of cytopenias and for the detection of opportunistic diseases in immunocompromised patients. Nevertheless, its role in the diagnosis of invasive infections caused by mycobacterium has not been clearly defined. We describe the case of a 42-year-old woman who was admitted to study anemia, diarrhea and constitutional syndrome … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 9 Oct 2012 · 7,832 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBayesian Changepoint Analysis of the Extreme Rainfall EventsWan Zawiah Wan Zin, Abdul Aziz Jemain, Kamarulzaman IbrahimProblem statement: This study assesses recent changes in extremes of annual rainfall in Peninsular Malaysia based on daily rainfall data for 50 rain-gauged stations over the period 1975-2004. Approach: Eight indices that represent the extreme events are defined and analyzed, which are extreme Dry Spell (XDS), extreme Rain-Sum (XRS), extreme wet-day intensities at 95% and 99% percentiles (I95 and I99), … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2012 · 7,255 accessesView PDFCite
