Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNew and Efficient Features for Skin Lesion Classification based on SkeletonizationYoussef Filali, Hasnae El Khoukhi, My Abdelouahed Sabri et al.This paper presents a new approach to detect and classify skin lesions for melanoma diagnosis with high accuracy. Skin lesion detection is based on an image decomposition into two components using the Partial Differential Equation (PDE). The first component that sufficiently preserves the contour is thus exploited to have an adequate segmentation of image lesion while the second component provides … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 9 · 2 Sep 2019 · 8,031 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleWavelet Transform Based Automatic Lesion Detection in Cervix Images Using Active ContourP. S. Rama Praba, H. RanganathanColposcopy is a medical diagnostic procedure to examine an illuminated, magnified view of the cervix by a colposcope. Most cases of cervical cancer can be prevented through screening programs aimed at detecting precancerous lesions. Colposcopy cervical images are acquired in raw form which contains major cervix lesions, regions outside the cervix and parts of the imaging devices such as speculum. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2013 · 7,786 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePrevalence of Human Papillomavirus Types Among Mexican Women with Intraepithelial Lesions and Cervical Cancer: Detection with MY09/MY011 and GP5+/GP6+ Primer SystemsGloria Fernández-Tilapa, Berenice Illades-Aguiar, Dinorah Nashely Martínez-Carrillo et al.Squamous cervical carcinoma (SCC) is the most common cancer found in Mexican women. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a prerequisite for this disease. In Mexico little is known about the prevalence of HPV-types and knowledge of the circulating genotypes by region is limited. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and genotypes of HPV in biopsies from … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,309 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDietary supplementation with Cyperus esculentus L (tiger nut) tubers attenuated atherosclerotic lesion in apolipoprotein E knockout mouse associated with inhibition of inflammatory cell responsesMohamed L. Salem, Mohsen Zommara, K. ImaizumiAtherosclerosis is a pathological process, where recruitment of mononuclear cells results in the growth of fibro-fatty plaques. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a legend for the uptake of lipoproteins, and deficiency of ApoE leads to the accumulation of low-density lipoprotein. Utilizing ApoE-/- mouse, which spontaneously develop atherosclerosis on low-fat chow diets, the present study showed that feeding these mice on a … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 10,479 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssociation between Infective Endocarditis and Premalignant Colorectal LesionsCarles FalcesThe association between Infective Endocarditis (IE) and Colorectal Cancer (CRC) has been known for more than 50 years. The microorganisms in which this association has been described are Streptococcus gallolyticus (formerly Streptococcus bovis) (Corredoira-Sánchez et al., 2012; Boleij et al., 2011), in different subspecies and, more recently, Enterococcus faecalis (Pericàs et al., 2016; 2017; Escolà-Vergé et al., 2020; Pericàs et … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 10 Jun 2021 · 11,566 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRelationship 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
HypothesisOpen accessEvery word in the titleIncreased Tissue Pressure Induces Demyelinated Lesions and Necroses in the BrainHelmut Barz, Ulrich Barz, Almut SchreiberA general brain edema increases the size of the brain tissue and stretches the elastic neuronal and glial fibers. Myelinated fibers are more elastic than unmyelinated fibers. The stretching of the neuronal fibers leads particular in regions of the white matter or areas surrounded by myelinated fiber tracts to an increased tissue pressure. This physical principle can be the reason … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2015 · 7,431 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleHistological Features and ki-67 Index In Cervical Atypical LesionsD. Cabibi, L. Giovannelli, M. Cacciatore et al.One of the most frequent challenges in routine diagnostic assessment of cervical biopsies consists of some lesions in which histological features of HPV infection are either inconsistently present or only mildly/focally evident. We named them Atypical Lesions (AL) because differential diagnosis with metaplastic/reactive lesions and LSIL is difficult. It would be important to identify among them those lesions that are … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,232 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSorbitol-Induced Diabetic-Like Retinal Lesions in Rats: Microscopic StudyGaber A. RamadanThe present study investigated the sorbitol toxicity on the retinas of normal albino rats and founded by the light microscope that intra-peritoneal injection of Sorbitol (10-mg/kg-body weight per day) for 24 weeks produced similar diabetic like retinal lesions in these rats. The retinopathic effects of sorbitol injection affect retinal microvessels, pigment epithelium, neural retina and glial cells. Cytoplasmic vacuolation of … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,634 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleReduced Levels of Testosterone Induce LDL Oxidation and Atherosclerotic Lesions Involving Inflammatory Imbalance and Reduced Macrophage ApoptosisPlacielle Fiorezi Filete, Flávia de Souza Andrade Moraes, Girlandia Alexandre Brasil et al.Atherosclerosis is among the major cardiovascular diseases that cause death in the world. Men who are deficient in androgen hormones are more susceptible to this disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of reduced levels of testosterone on the lipid profile, pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines, apoptosis of peritoneal macrophages and the development of atherosclerosis in LDLr-/-mice, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 6 Dec 2019 · 7,342 accessesView PDFCite
