An early diagnosis helps patients and medical practitioners to reduce the burden of diabetes. Approach: In this research, we propose a framework for a system using rule-based reasoning and object-oriented methodologies to diagnose both Type 1 … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 23 Jan 2012 · 8,607 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Polymorphisms in the Fat Mass and Obesity-Associated Gene Confers Risk of Obesity in Iraqi PopulationShatha Ramadhanzaidan, Faris Abd Al Kareem, Lujain Anwar AlkhazrajyProblem statement: Obesity is strongly influenced by genetic factors, with an estimated heritability of 60% BMI. Genetic susceptibility to the common form of obesity appears to be polygenic. Although theoretical analyses emphasized the power of genetic association study in common polygenic diseases, the search for genes conferring the risk of obesity has thus far not been very successful. Approach: In … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 21 Sep 2011 · 7,622 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdiponectin mRNA Expression in the Cat (Felis domesticus)Angela L. Lusby, Stephen A. Kania, Joseph W. Bartges, Claudia A. KirkProblem statement: Adiponectin is a hormone expressed from adipose tissue in people, rodents and dogs.
