The aim of this study was to comprehensively describe the morphological characteristics of different mycobacterial species identified in Kazakhstan, which will help to improve diagnostic methods and develop new approaches to treatment. Comparative and cross-cultural analyses were … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 1 Dec 2025 · 2,203 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMosaic Masonries to Interpret Diagnostic Test ResultsRamalingam ShanmugamCurrently, assessing superiority of a diagnostic test requires cumbersome calculations and confusing interpretations because of nonlinear Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC). To remedy these difficulties, this article prepares, provides an easier alternate geometric approach. That is, a simple but more effective visual approach with two complementary mosaic masonries are constructed with their properties, superimposed and utilized. First masonry is conditional … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2013 · 6,854 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSwiftlet Bacteriophages Concerning Diversity and Biological Features in South Kalimantan, IndonesiaSiti Gusti Ningrum, Hana Cipka Pramuda Wardhani, Intan Permatasari HermawanWe aimed to isolate and characterize bacteriophages infecting Nitrobacter spp. from swiftlet house environments and to evaluate their biological properties as potential biocontrol agents to mitigate nitrate accumulation in edible bird’s nest (EBN) production. Environmental samples were collected from multiple swiftlet houses in South Kalimantan, Indonesia. Samples were enriched with Nitrobacter cultures, and bacteriophages were detected using spot assays followed … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 17 Apr 2026 · 1,759 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Multiplex PCR Panel on Reducing Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic Use in Ventilator-Associated PneumoniaMaría Inés Staneloni, Emilio F. Huaier Arriazu et al.The extended use of broad-spectrum antimicrobials contribute to the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance. This study evaluated the impact of a multimodal strategy aiming at reducing the duration of broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy in Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP). Conducted in a single Intensive Care Unit (ICU), this quasi-experimental, retrospective study compares a pre-intervention period (08/01/2018-07/01/2019) with an intervention period (08/01/2022-07/01/2023). Adult patients … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 8 Jul 2025 · 6,582 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExplainable MedAttn-ResNet50 for Automated Kidney Tumor Classification from CT Images With Grad-CAM VisualizationD. Vetrithangam, Pramod Kumar, Shilpasree S. et al.Kidney tumor classification from CT imaging remains challenging due to CT-specific intensity variations, tumor heterogeneity, and limited clinically meaningful interpretability in existing deep learning models. To address these limitations, we propose an Explainable MedAttn-ResNet50 framework that integrates radiology-driven preprocessing, multi-scale feature extraction, and medical attention mechanisms within a unified architecture. The preprocessing pipeline applies radiology-inspired intensity normalization, contrast enhancement, and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 8 · 13 Aug 2026 · 1,120 accessesView PDFCite
