Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Adaptive Region Growing Algorithm with Support Vector Machine Classifier for Tuberculosis Cavity IdentificationK. Meenakshi Sundaram, C. S. RavichandranThe major world health menace is Tuberculosis (TB) that has the effect on one-third of the global population and millions of new infections are occurring every year. The cavities in the upper lung zone are a strong indicator that the disease has developed into a highly contagious state. The study includes 52 Chest X-ray images with Tuberculosis and 43 Chest … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 29 Oct 2013 · 7,067 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSegmentation Methods of Echocardiography Images for Left Ventricle Boundary DetectionSamaneh Mazaheri, Rahmita Wirza, Puteri Suhaiza Sulaiman et al.Due to acoustic interferences and artifacts which are inherent in echocardiography images, automatic segmentation of anatomical structures in cardiac ultrasound images is a real challenge. This paper surveys state-of-the-art researches on echocardiography data segmentation methods, concentrating on methods techniques developed for clinical data. We present a classification of methodologies for echocardiography image segmentation. By choosing ten recent papers which have … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 6 Dec 2015 · 7,054 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFrequency of Carbapenem Resistance among Gram Negative Pathogens in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Southern PakistanWaseela Ashraf, Altaf AhmedCarbapenems are considered the treatment of choice for treating the multi-drug resistance Gram negative bacteria. But resistance to these antibiotics has increased worldwide thus limiting therapeutic options for clinicians. To investigate the frequency and Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MICs) of carbapenem resistance in Gram negative organisms at a tertiary care hospital in Southern Pakistan. Seven Hundred and ninety-three carbapenem resistant isolates … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 29 Oct 2015 · 7,573 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUTILITY OF A COMBINATION ANTIBIOGRAM FOR TREATING PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSALindsay Thurman, Nathan Fewel, Michael Rose, Eileen StockEmpiric combination antibiotic therapy is often used to treat severe P. aeruginosa infections. Combination antibiograms have been employed to assist clinicians in selecting the most effective two-drug antibiotic regimens. The objectives of this study were to develop a combination antibiogram in order to compare beta-lactam monotherapy versus dual-therapy with a fluoroquinolone or aminoglycoside, identify optimal combination regimens, describe the differences … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 16 Jun 2014 · 8,970 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAUTOMATIC RETINAL VESSEL TORTUOSITY MEASUREMENTNidhal Khdhair El Abbadi, Enas Hamood Al SaadiRetinal vascular vessels have the role to indicate the retinal diseases and for systematic diseases when there are any abnormalities in retinal vascular pattern. A characteristic of the vascular pattern that is appreciated by clinicians is vascular tortuosity, i.e., how curved or kinked a blood vessel, either vein or artery, appears along its course. In this study we suggest a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 21 Sep 2013 · 7,210 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation: Pharmacologic UpdateWajeeha Saeed, J. W. Kusick, M. R. Sardar et al.For nearly half a century, the therapeutic options for the risk reduction of stroke in atrial fibrillation have been stagnant with vitamin K antagonists, such as warfarin, being the primary therapy. Although antiplatelet agents have been investigated over this time, they were never shown to reduce the risk of stroke at the level warfarin has. Considering the limited therapeutic options, … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 24 Jun 2013 · 6,762 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRapid Real Time PCR Based Detection of Cell Count in Case of Urinary Tract InfectionPoulomi Nandy, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon Ray ChaudhuriMicrobial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing methods currently used in clinical microbiology laboratories require at least two to three days because they rely on the growth and isolation of micro-organisms. This long, but necessary, delay has enormous consequences on prophylactic usage of antimicrobial drugs. This study was an attempt to reduce this detection time span. Taq Man Real Time PCR … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2013 · 8,214 accessesView PDFCite
