Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE CLINICAL APPLICATIONS FOR AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF EXUDATESK. Wisaeng, N. Hiransakolwong, E. PothirukNowadays, the retinal imaging technology has been widely used for segmenting and detecting the exudates in diabetic retinopathy patients. Unfortunately, the retinal images in Thailand are poor-quality images. Therefore, detecting of exudates in a large number by screening programs, are very expensive in professional time and may cause human error. In this study, the clinical applications for detection of exudates … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 10 · 27 Sep 2014 · 6,451 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NEW PCR-RFLP FOR SPECIES-SPECIFIC DIAGNOSIS OF SOUTH AMERICAN ANIMAL TRYPANOSOMIASISLiliana Torcoroma García, Yezid A. Ardila, Deilis Rincón et al.The diagnosis of animal trypanosomiasis in field samples is currently based on clinical suspicion and less frequently on traditional parasitological methods characterized by their very low sensitivity, especially in the sub-acute and chronic phase of the infection. Molecular tools such as Polymerase Chain Reaction have been shown to reach the highest sensitivity percentages, but without good resolution for all of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 5 Jun 2014 · 7,186 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMENTAL STATE REPRESENTATION: SPATIOTEMPORAL CHARACTERISTICSAlexander Oktyabrinovich ProkhorovSince the time of statement of the problem of states in psychology, the study of &#34sensuous&#34 tissue - the mental state representation-takes a fundamental meaning. The problem is concluded in the following questions: &#34How is mental state represented in the consciousness of an individual?&#34, &#34What is the specificity of the mental state representation as distinguished from the subject-matter representation?&#34, &#34What … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 5 · 15 Mar 2014 · 6,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSPECTRAL DOMAIN FEATURES FOR OVARIAN CANCER DATA ANALYSISAhmed Farag Seddik, Riham Amin Hassan, Mahmoud A. FakhreldeinThe early detection of cancer is crucial for successful treatment. Medical researchers have investigated a number of early-diagnosis techniques. Recently, they have discovered that some cancers affect the concentration of certain molecules in the blood, which allows early diagnosis by analyzing the blood mass spectrum. Researchers have developed several techniques for the analysis of the mass-spectrum curve analysis and used … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 9 Jul 2013 · 6,920 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of Progranulin Gene Expression as a Molecular Biomarker for Bladder CancerSalwa M. Abo El-khair, Mie A. Mohamed, Tamer E. AlkhiaryBladder cancer is the second most common cancer of the urinary system. Early diagnosis of this tumor and estimation of risk of future progression has a significant impact on prognosis. Although there are several molecular markers for the diagnosis and prognosis for this tumor, their accuracy is not ideal. Progranulin is a growth factor that may play a critical role … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2012 · 7,701 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCross Validation Evaluation for Breast Cancer Prediction Using Multilayer Perceptron Neural NetworksShirin A. Mojarad, Satnam S. Dlay, Wai L. Woo, Gajanan V. SherbetProblem statement: The presence of metastasis in the regional lymph nodes is the most important factor in predicting prognosis in breast cancer. Many biomarkers have been identified that appear to relate to the aggressive behaviour of cancer. However, the nonlinear relation of these markers to nodal status and also the existence of complex interaction between markers have prohibited an accurate … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 20 Feb 2012 · 7,703 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparing of Routine 2 Mercaptoethanol (2ME) and Coombs Wright Plus 2MEKatayoun Haji Bagheri, Behzad Mohsenpour, Shahla AfrasiabianProblem statement: Serologic tests like Wright, Wright containing Anti-human globulin (Coombs Wright) and 2ME are the main methods of diagnosing brucellosis. The routine method of using Wright test and then performing 2ME is not enough sensitive to diagnose brucellosis. The goal of this study is to compare the results of routine 2ME with 2ME on serum containing antihuman globulin (Coombs … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 30 Jan 2012 · 9,348 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIs Wright Test an Appropriate Screening Test for Diagnosis of Brucellosis?Behzad Mohsenpour, Shahla Afrasiabian, Katayoon Hajibagheri, Ebrahim GhaderiProblem statement: Diagnosis of brucellosis is generally based on culture, polymerase chain reaction and serology. The first two methods are not accessible in all parts of world and are expensive. The routine method for diagnosis of brucellosis is considering Wright test as the first screening test; if the results are Wright positive’ Wright would be the next choice otherwise 2ME … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 17 Sep 2011 · 16,766 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeat-Modeling of Microwave Assisted Epoxidation of Palm Acid OilN. Saifuddin, L. Wei Zhan, K. Xin NingProblem statement: While microwave chemistry could well be the most convenient, rapid and energy-saving way to initiate a chemical reaction, the issues of thermal versus microwave specific effect remain unaddressed. Approach: A three-dimensional Finite Element Model (FEM) was developed to predict temperature profile during the enzymatic epoxidation of palm acid oil using microwave heating. Three-dimensional partial differential equations are formulated … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 7,678 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Ferritin for Differentiation of Aseptic and Bacterial Meningitis in AdultsZhinous Bayat Makoo, Nagmeh Ahadi, Akbar Hasani et al.Problem statement: Bacterial meningitis is one of the most important causes of mortality and morbidity. Rapid diagnosis of bacterial cause is very important and critical, because early antibiotic therapy prevents complications; different tests have been developed for rapid diagnosis of bacterial meningitis. One of them is CSF ferritin, which is evaluated in this study. Approach: During cross sectional study from … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,049 accessesView PDFCite
