Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFuture Medicine Services RoboticsRelly Victoria V. Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella, Florian Ion T. PetrescuIt is an entry technique in use recently, albeit in selected centers and represents a further step in the field of minimally invasive surgery. Basically it has the same indications but, at present, is reserved for selected patients. Compared to traditional video-assisted surgery presents some important differences. The surgeon is physically distant from the operative field and sits at a … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 26 Nov 2016 · 8,889 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCOMPUTER-AIDED DECISION SYSTEM FOR REFRACTIVE SURGERIES WITH EXCIMER LASERRawan Baroudy, Bassam Lala124 patients (248 eyes) who intended to refractive surgery by Excimer laser were studied to implement our goal of this study which is design and operate a computer-aided decision system for optimal choosing the best refractive surgery based on patient needs, Starting from corneal topography and aberration images, using RGB and HSI color spaces and decision tree. The system also … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 13 Nov 2013 · 6,651 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBacterial Profile and Antimicrobial Resistance to Commonly Used Antimicrobials in Intra-Abdominal Infections in Two Teaching HospitalsGholamreza Sepehri, Hamid Zeinali Nejad, Ehsan Sepehri, Saeideh RazbanProblem statement: Intra-abdominal infections are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The resulting infection is typically polymicrobial and comprised of both aerobic and anaerobic microbes, which need systemic antimicrobial therapy. Since the bacteriology and antimicrobial susceptibility of postoperative intra abdominal infections were not determined in Iran, so this study was performed to evaluate the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns among aerobic bacteria … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,266 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Novel Tactile Force Probe for Tissue Stiffness ClassificationBehafarid Darvish, Siamak Najarian, Elham Shirzad, Roozbeh KhodambashiIn this study, we have proposed a new type of tactile sensor that is capable of detecting the stiffness of soft objects. The sensor consists of a brass cylinder with an axial bore. An iron core can easily move inside the bore. Three peripheral bobbins were machined in the cylinder around which three coils have been wound. One of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,286 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOptimization of Expert System Based on Interpolation, Forward Chaining, and Certainty Factor for Diagnosing Abdominal ColicHari Soetanto, Painem, Muhammad Kamil SuryadewiansyahAbdominal colic is a common condition that affects infants and it can be difficult to diagnose because it shares many symptoms with other conditions, such as gastric disease and appendicitis. Limitations of existing diagnostic methods include the unreliability of physical examinations and medical histories and the high cost and time-consuming nature of imaging tests. This research proposes an expert system … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 30 Dec 2023 · 5,770 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the keywordsWhat You See Is What You GetSaadettin Sel, Mark A. Brown, Joachim Storsberg, Christian SchmidtThe recognition and neutralization of invading pathogens by the human immune system is designed to protect the organism. Sometimes, the checks and balances in place securing a tightly controlled immune surveillance of privileged sites are lifted in order to ensure survival of the individual at the cost of losing the functionality of an organ. Here, we use choice areas to … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 29 Sep 2016 · 6,975 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsClinical and Surgical Findings and Outcome Following Rumenotomy in Adult Dairy Cattle Affected with Recurrent Rumen Tympany Associated with Non-Metallic Foreign BodiesZ. Bani Ismail, A. Al-Majali, K. Al-QudahMedical records of 31 adult dairy cows suffering from recurrent rumen tympany for at least 1 month duration that underwent exploratory laparotomy and rumenotomy were reviewed and information was obtained on signalment, history, physical examination findings, laboratory findings and surgical findings. Cases were categorized according to surgical findings into 3 groups. Group 1 (n = 10) included cattle with reticuloruminal, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 8,927 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDesign, Fabrication, and Testing of a Membrane Piezoelectric Tactile Sensor with Four Sensing ElementsAshkan Mirbagheri, Javad Dargahi, Siamak Najarian, Farhad Tabatabai GhomsheWe presented design, fabrication, and testing of a novel membrane tactile sensing system with only four sensing elements. By using membrane stress combined with triangulation approach, it was possible to overcome the problems such as cross-talk between sensing elements, fragility, and complexity. The fabrication of the sensing elements performed using photolithographic and etching techniques. Position, orientation, and magnitude of applied … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,072 accessesView PDFCite
