Our patient had a fever … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 2 Dec 2024 · 4,937 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrends in the Causes of Meningitis/Encephalitis Analyzed Using the BioFire FilmArray PanelYoung Jun Hong, Bo Kyeung Jung, Jae Kyung KimCerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) infections can be caused by various pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Therefore, accurate and timely detection of infectious agents is critical for the effective treatment of CSF infections. The FilmArray Meningitis/Encephalitis (M/E) panel is a potential complementary diagnostic tool for detecting CSF pathogens. The aim of this study was to identify trends in the causes of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 25 Jul 2024 · 4,887 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractONCObc-ST: An Improved Clinical Reasoning Algorithm Based on Select and Test (ST) Algorithm for Diagnosing Breast CancerOlaide Nathaniel Oyelade, Sunday Adeyemi AdewuyiThe need for an accurate reasoning algorithm is usually necessitated by the sensitivity of domain of (medicine as example) application of such algorithms. Most reasoning algorithms for medical diagnosis are either limited by their techniques or accuracy and efficiency. Even the Select and Test (ST) algorithm which is considered a more approximate reasoning algorithm is also limited by its approach … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 15 Apr 2019 · 7,168 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatistical Modeling of Temperature Extremes Behaviour in GhanaTwumasi-Ankrah Sampson, Nyantakyi Agyei KwadwoThis paper focuses on modeling the extreme maximum temperature in Ghana using the extreme value theory. This is to inform decision-makers to help them plan appropriate risk mitigating measures to reduce the damage caused by drought. The block maxima with Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) and the General Pareto (GP) (with “all excesses” and decluster peaks) were used on 113 years … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 10 Jan 2019 · 7,121 accessesView PDFCite
