Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGENE IMPRINTING: ENGRAVING THE PATHOGENESIS OF HERIDETARY DISEASESSandeep Satapathy, Roshan Kumar Singh, Harikrishnan RajendranGene imprinting has conduited the scope of our understanding of phenotypic expression and its corelation with constituent genotype. It is an epigenetic process that involves DNA methylation and histone modulation to attain monoallelic gene expression without altering the genetic sequences. A distinctive model of non-mendelian genetics, imprinting extends the control over expression of traits and selection of the allele that … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2014 · 7,684 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effect of Bone Properties due to Skeletal Diseases on Stability of Cementless Hip StemsMohammed Rafiq Abdul Kadir, Nazri KamsahProblem statement: There are two types of implant fixation in hip joint replacement-cemented and cementless. The cemented types are, in general, more popular due to concerns of possible inability of cementless implants achieving maximum primary stability for bone integration. The concern is more significant in cases where there are major losses of cancellous bone stock and thinning of the trabeculae … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,171 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePerformance of Pre-Weaned Dairy Calves under Hot Arid Environment: Effects of Immunoglobulins and Age on Diseases and MortalityM. A. Razzaque, T. Al-Mutawa, S. Abbas, M. BedairProblem statement: A high mortality rate (crude mortality 43.6%) of pre-weaned dairy calves resulted in unavailability of replacement heifers in Kuwait. Dairy producers resorted to import pregnant heifers for herd replacement. This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of dam vaccination and age, serum Immunoglobulin (Ig) on disease syndromes and mortality in pre-weaned calves. Approach: Late pregnant Holstein Friesian … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 7,560 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMolecular Mechanisms of Neurodegenerative Diseases Induced by Human Retroviruses: A ReviewBryan P. Irish, Zafar K. Khan, Pooja Jain et al.Problem statement: Infection with retroviruses such as human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) have been shown to lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as HIV-associated dementia (HAD) or neuroAIDS and HTLV-1-Associated Myelopathy/Tropical Spastic Paraparesis (HAM/TSP), respectively. Approach: HIV-1-induced neurologic disease is associated with an influx of HIV-infected monocytic cells across the blood-brain … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 14,895 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleApplications of Real-time Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction in Clinical Virology Laboratories for the Diagnosis of Human DiseasesR. Manojkumar, V. MrudulaEarly diagnosis that prevents further expansion of the causative agent and thereby aids control and eradication of infectious agents is critical for countries trying to obtain a particular disease free status. In these diagnostics speed is paramount, including the assay’s applicability, sensitivity, specificity, cost effectiveness and patentability. Real-time Reverse Transcription PCR (rRT-PCR) has revolutionized the field of molecular biology and … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,557 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGenetic Diversity of Leifsonia xyli Subsp. xyli Causing Ratoon Stunting Diseases of Sugarcane in Indonesia Using Intergenic Spacer Region Sequence AnalysisSisca Prayudani Usman, Abdul Latief Abadi et al.Leifsonia xyli subsp xyli (Lxx) is the cause of Ratoon Stunting Disease (RSD) on sugarcane and it considers as a quarantine pest in certain regions of Indonesia. RSD is a systemic disease that causes severe cane yield loss. Information about genetic diversity of this bacterial pathogen in Indonesia is limited. While global trading of sugar cane seed may facilitate the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 2 · 23 Jun 2025 · 3,358 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCardiovascular Diseases Identification Using Wavelet Optimization and Modify Cuckoo Search AlgorithmBanit Negi, Abhilekh Bartwal, Agya Ram Verma et al.The problem the author aims to solve is the extraction of discriminatory features in ECG (Electrocardiogram) signals for classification purposes. The scope of the work is to propose a new method for building wavelets that best reflect the discriminatory capacity of ECG signals. The approach involves optimizing the wavelets specifically for the classification function under consideration. To address the problem, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 19, Issue 8 · 3 Aug 2023 · 5,410 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessEvery word in the titlePrimary Eosinophilic Lung Diseases and the Therapeutic Role of Corticosteroids: A Case Report and Literature ReviewHuzairi Sani, Nada Syazana ZulkufliA 17-year-old girl was seen and treated for eosinophilic pneumonia with underlying Hypereosinophilic Syndrome (HES), a rare disorder comprising of the triad: A persistently high eosinophil count, eosinophil-mediated organ damage and with no evidence of other causes of secondary eosinophilia. The diagnosis was subsequently changed to acute exacerbation of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia following reviews of journal updates. Pulmonary eosinophilia is … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 21 Feb 2020 · 12,241 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBoosting-BoW Algorithm for Finding Kidney Diseases from Medical Test ReportsWisam A. Qader, Abbas M. AliThis paper introduces an approach to increase the accuracy rate of classification by employing Bag-of-Words (BoW) as a feature selection method along with machine learning algorithms to obtain a more accurate output. Because of its capability in quickly processing large sets of data and getting accurate results, this approach can be used in medical areas. Different ensemble approaches are generated … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 26 Apr 2019 · 7,504 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssociation of High-Affinity FcεRI-β intron 2 for IgE Gene Polymorphism and Atopic Diseases in an Algerian PopulationDahbia Ines Dahmani, Ikhlass Haj Salem, Jamila Chakir et al.Atopy is characterized by the production of a high level of IgE in response to common allergens. We examined the RsaI-in2 polymorphism of the FcεRI-β gene and its association with atopic asthma and comorbidity. The study population included 77 atopic asthmatics and 77 non-atopic, non-allergic and non-asthmatic controls. Atopic asthma was confirmed by the skin prick test and by IgE … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 1 Nov 2017 · 7,448 accessesView PDFCite
