Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Hybrid Fuzzy Neural Networks for the Detection of Tumors in Medical ImagesN. Benamrane, A. Freville, R. NekkacheIn this study, we propose an approach to detect suspect zones or tumors in medical images. The idea is to define with precision the existence of different kinds of lesions using a hybrid system, which combines Fuzzy Neural Networks and Expert System. After applying a method of image segmentation to extract regions (by region growing algorithm or by mathematical morphology … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2005 · 6,876 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClinical Analysis of Pulmonary Mycobacterium kansasii DiseaseYoshihiro Kobashi, Masaaki Abe, Daisuke Yoshioka et al.To investigate the clinical aspects of pulmonary Mycobacterium kansasii (M. kansasii) disease. In 25 patients who satisfied the diagnostic criteria of the American Thoracic Society, we retrospectively evaluated the background, diagnostic methods, laboratory findings, radiological findings, treatment and prognosis. The median age was 61 years old (20 males, 5 females). Nine patients (36%) had no underlying diseases. The definite diagnosis … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 21 Jan 2020 · 7,115 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew and Efficient Features for Skin Lesion Classification based on SkeletonizationYoussef Filali, Hasnae El Khoukhi, My Abdelouahed Sabri et al.This paper presents a new approach to detect and classify skin lesions for melanoma diagnosis with high accuracy. Skin lesion detection is based on an image decomposition into two components using the Partial Differential Equation (PDE). The first component that sufficiently preserves the contour is thus exploited to have an adequate segmentation of image lesion while the second component provides … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 9 · 2 Sep 2019 · 8,031 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRisk Factors of Renal Aspergillosis in Pigeons (Columba livia): Field StudyBagus Uda Palgunadi, Kurniasih, Yos Adi PrakosoAspergillosis is the common infectious diseases in the avian species. Aspergillosis causes granulomatous lesions in the lung and upper respiratory system and rarely reported regarding its infection in the kidney. This study aims to analyse the risk factors of renal aspergillosis in the pigeon (Columba livia) and its association to aflatoxicosis and CD4+/ CD8+ depression. Twenty-dead pigeons, feed and litter … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 13 Jun 2019 · 7,663 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariations in Pathogenicity and Molecular Characterization of Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV) In EgyptMahmoud E. Sedeik, Ashraf M. Awad, Heba Rashed, Wael K. ElfeilInfectious bursal disease consider a vital threat to poultry industry worldwide and It has special potentiality in Egypt as the country become endemic with several clades from avian influenza from both types highly pathogenic (H5N1 and H5N8) and low pathogenic one (H9N2). The Egyptian government depends on the inactivated vaccine strategy to control avian influenza and any infection with IBD … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 18 May 2018 · 8,485 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Investigation of Organelle Genomes of Extra Nuclear Sunflower Mutants with Variegated PhenotypeIrina Dremuk, Nikolay Kozel, Mariya Logacheva et al.The comparative analysis of complete chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA sequences of the original inbred line 3629 and three extra nuclear mutant lines variegated-1, variegated-15, variegated-17, obtained by the N-nitroso-N-methylurea induced mutagenesis, was done. The studied mutant lines were presented two different phenotypes with diverse chlorophyll content: Pale/green mutant line variegated-17 with 1.8% relative (to 3629 line) chlorophyll content in mutant … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 24 Oct 2017 · 7,638 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSegmentation of Exudates via Color-based K-means Clustering and Statistical-based ThresholdingAtef Zaki Ghalwash, Aliaa Abdel-Halim Youssif, Ali Mohamed Nabil AllamThis paper provides a novel approach for the problem of detecting the yellowish lesions in the eye fundus images, such as hard and soft exudates, in a fully-automated manner. To solve this problem of segmenting exudates automatically, the fundus image was first converted into the L*a*b* color space to decouple the chromaticity information of the image. Next, the fundus image … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 10 · 14 Oct 2017 · 7,729 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntimicrobial Activities of Unconventional Compounds against Some Bacteria Associated with Skin Infections in Humans, Sheep and GoatsIman Shabana, Amira El-AdlyBacterial skin infections are a common problem encountered in clinical practice and causing great economic losses for sheep and goats producers. Increasing multidrug resistance of pathogens paves the way for reconsidering alternative medicine. The present study was carried out to explore the antibacterial activities of different volumes; 5, 25, 50 and 100 µL of gold nanoparticles (NPS) and the aqueous … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2016 · 8,029 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of Cytokines and Transcription Factors in Periodontitis: A Review of Cellular and Molecular MechanismsAnne Carolina Eleutério Leite, Valéria Martins de Araújo Carneiro, Júlia Faria Nunes et al.Periodontal Diseases (PD) are characterized by pathological manifestation of host immune response to bacterial infection at the tooth/gingival interface. Evidences points periodontitis as a risk factor for pathological systemic conditions, such as, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The identification of host factors that determine their susceptibility to immune subversion can provide useful information in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Protective acute inflammatory … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 9 Dec 2015 · 7,809 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractA Case of Phaeohyphomycosis Caused by Exophiala oligosperma in a Renal Transplant Patient Successfully Treated with PosaconazoleAsaph C Levy, Sameer Rehman, Deanna A Sutton et al.Phaeohyphomycosis is an uncommon mycotic infection caused by dematiaceous fungi. We report a 53-year-old male who presented with phaeohyphomycosis on his upper extremities, 6 months after renal transplantation. Biopsy revealed pigmented moniliform hyphae and cultures grew Exophiala oligosperma. The lesions completely resolved after 3 months of treatment with posaconazole. …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 22 Jun 2015 · 8,032 accessesView PDFCite
