Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractA Case of a Young Patient with Acute Endocarditis and Challenging Diagnostic and Treatment DecisionsPau Rello, Teresa González-Alujas, Laura Escolà-Vergé et al.Despite advances achieved in recent years, Infective Endocarditis (IE) remains a disease associated with high mortality and morbidity. When it involves multiple locations at the same time, deciding the best treatment can become challenging. In some cases, especially in patients with prosthetic valve endocarditis, a definitive diagnosis can be difficult to achieve and multimodality imaging including Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 9 Jun 2021 · 7,390 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelationship between Streptococcus gallolyticus Infective Endocarditis and Pre-Neoplastic Colorectal LesionsPau Vilardell, Sergio Moral, Josep Maria Frigola et al.Colorectal cancer is associated with Infective Endocarditis (IE) due to specific gut pathogens, such as Streptococcus gallolyticus subspecies, that use tumor presence as a point of blood entry. However, the association between Streptococcus gallolyticus related IE and pre-cancerous colorectal lesions like dysplastic adenomas is unclear. Seventy-one patients diagnosed with IE who underwent colonoscopy in the extension study during admission were … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 28 May 2021 · 7,135 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAsymptomatic COVID-19 Patients: Experience and Lessons from a Developing CountrySylvie Kolani, Houda Alami, El Harch ibtissam et al.The world is facing a pandemic due to the SARS-Coronavirus 2, since late 2019. Many questions remain unanswered regarding the disease course. Key amongst its talking point is the case of asymptomatic patients. This potentially jeopardizes infection control strategy as asymptomatic cases are difficult to identify and hence difficult to isolate. Our study intends to define the clinical and radiological … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 22 May 2021 · 7,136 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCompressive Sensing Theory for Improving the Robustness and the Security of the Discrete Wavelet Transform-Singular Value Decomposition Watermarking SchemeRasha Shoitan, Sawsan Morkos GharghoryDigital watermarking has been suggested as a solution to protect copyright and ownership of digital images. The effective watermarking scheme should satisfy imperceptibility, robustness, capacity and security requirements. In this research, the security issue and the lack of reconstruction quality of the watermark logo of the integration of Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and Compressive Sensing (CS) … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 28 Apr 2021 · 6,603 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractXPS Studies of the SiO2 Substrates and Thermoelectric Thin Films of Sn/Sn+SnO2 under the Effects of the Different Thermal TreatmentsRichard Lagle, Stephen Egarievwe, Satilmis Budak, Mebougna DraboMultilayered thermoelectric Sn/Sn+SnO2 thin films were prepared using KJL DC/RF magnetron sputtering system under Ar gas plasma on the SiO2 substrates. The thicknesses of the fabricated thin films were found using Filmetrics UV thickness measurement system. The fabricated thin films were annealed at different temperatures for one hour to tailor the thermoelectric properties. In this study, unannealed, annealed at 150 … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 9 Jan 2021 · 8,212 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstract2D Kinematic Quantification of Soil Particles around Growing Plant Root based on Optical MechanicsWenbin Wu, Jian ZhaoThe quantitative kinematic description of the surrounding soil particles during root growth is a technical challenge and biologically important. In this study, a two-dimensional camera-based imaging system was used to observe micro scale interactions between plant roots and soil particles. Maize root tip was imaged during ingress into the soils. This produced a series of two-dimensional images that represent temporal … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 21 Oct 2020 · 6,413 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBM3D Outperforms Major Benchmarks in Denoising: An Argument in FavorBhawna Goyal, Ayush Dogra, Apoorav Maulik SharmaThe inherent physical limitations of imaging sensors lead to prevalence of additive white Gaussian noise in images which deters the feature extraction and analysis. There exists a number of denoising algorithms in literature, demonstrating their efficacy for removing noise while preserving feature details. At the crossing of functional and statistical analysis, one argues with new methods being devised quite frequently, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 6 · 1 Jul 2020 · 7,587 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSensing the Hydrogeomorphology and Palaeohydrologic Features of Mars Planet with Inference from the Egyptian Desert: An Insight from Satellite ImagesMohamed YousifThe water access in any planet of the universe can be considered a crucial evidence for life existence. The study of Mars has special importance where it has a complex preserved geological record of a time period longer than on Earth. Many regions of Mars planet are subjected to observations through the obtained satellite images in comparison to similar areas … …Space Science International, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 27 Apr 2020 · 13,203 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGadolinium at Low Concentration Suppresses both Osteoclastic and Osteoblastic Activities in the Scales of GoldfishNobuo Suzuki, Kazuki Watanabe, Aika Sekimoto et al.For determining the effect of environmental pollutants on fish bone metabolism, we have developed an in vitro bioassay system using teleost scales that has osteoclasts, osteoblasts and bone matrix as markers: alkaline phosphatase (ALP) for osteoblasts and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) for osteoclasts. Using this bioassay, the influence of gadolinium (Gd) on osteoclasts and osteoblasts of goldfish scales was examined … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 20 Sep 2019 · 8,457 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractRetroperitoneal Hydatid Cyst Masquerading as a Retroperitoneal Cystic TumorK. Hemanth Kumar, Anish Choudhary, Amaresh Aruni, N.V.K.N. KarthikHydatid disease is an endemic disease, with canines the primary host and humans the intermediate host. Liver, spleen and lungs are most common involved organs, but it can involve any organ. Retroperitoneal hydatid cyst are categorised into two types, primary and secondary. Primary retroperitoneal hydatid cyst is rare disease, with most of the cases diagnosed intra-operatively, hence pre-operative high index … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 29 Aug 2019 · 7,269 accessesView PDFCite
