Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTrends in the Prevalence of Clostridioides difficile Using Real Time PCR in South Korea (2020-2024)Yonghee Lee, Yoo Na Chung, Jae Kyung KimClostridioides difficile is a major cause of infection in healthcare settings, and frequent antibiotic use exacerbates its occurrence. C. difficile infection (CDI) is a major public-health challenge owing to its complications and high mortality rate. We aimed to analyze current trends in C. difficile prevalence. This study was a retrospective, single center analysis of 7,371 samples from April 2020 to … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 3 Oct 2025 · 2,363 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevalence of Diarrhea-Causing Pathogens in South Korea Analyzed Using Molecular Diagnostic MethodsYonghee Lee, Jae Kyung KimGastrointestinal inflammation remains a prevalent global health concern. Prompt and accurate diagnosis of the condition is required to mitigate health risks in immunocompromised individuals and alleviate the economic burden linked to treatment and pathogen isolation. Challenges posed by traditional culture tests, such as long detection time and inability to isolate low-abundance organisms, can be overcome using molecular diagnostic methods, which … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 25 Jul 2024 · 5,012 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Control of a Malaria Transmission Model with Saturated IncidencePerpetual Appiah, Henry Amankwah, Francis BenyahWe present a vector-host deterministic model for the transmission and control of malaria, using prevention and treatment as controls. A novel addition to our model is a new prevention function that highlights the role of prevention in reducing vector populations; an essential arsenal in the fight against malaria. Another innovation is the use of a novel treatment function, which reflects … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 29 Feb 2024 · 5,897 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSustainable Peace and Security in Africa: Strategy for Attainment of Agenda 2063 of the African UnionOsimen Goddy Uwa, Emeka Charles IlohTheincidence of violent conflict and insecurity in Africa is evident and apparent.Armed conflicts have become a regular realism in Africa for so long and thecontinent is predominantly conflict-prone and has also accommodated more thanone-third of international armed conflicts in the last few years. Theresurgence of conflict in Africa after the Cold War is mostly worrisome and disturbing.Despite these challenges and … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 19 Sep 2022 · 6,645 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPredicting Risk of Diabetes using a Model based on Multilayer Perceptron and Features ExtractionFrancesca Fallucchi, Alessandro CabroniDiabetes (diabetes mellitus) is a disease emerging when a person has a high blood sugar level for a prolonged period. In the healthcare context, one of the most important topic is the prevention of the disease. This study relates to diabetes prevention. In particular, it aims to produce random generated datasets according to a rule named Finnish Diabetes Risk Score … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 17, Issue 9 · 7 Sep 2021 · 6,588 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractChromomycosis: Case Reports of Exuberant Forms Including Carcinomatous DegenerationCarla Andréa Avelar Pires, Aline de Lima Dias, Adriana Kamilly Leitão Pitman Machado et al.Chromomycosis, or chromomycosis, is a chronic, progressive cutaneous and subcutaneous mycosis caused by several species of pheoid or dermaticeous (darkly pigmented) fungi. It mainly affects male patients, in the age group between 30 and 60 years and is more common on rural areas, being associated to traumatic events, which may explain the high frequency of involvement of the lower limbs … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2019 · 7,765 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Aerobic Exercise on PPAR-γ Expression in Adipose Tissue and RT-PCR Detection AnalysisXiaodong Zhan, Chenguang Bi, Jie WeiThis study aimed to examine the effect of organized aerobic exercise on the expression level of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor gamma (PPAR-γ) gene in adipose tissue by performing digital variant of RT-PCR, Droplet Digital PCR (ddPCR) which is a highly sensitive method for counting the gene copy numbers. The proposed scheme consists of three-stage analytical procedure, namely, Subphase I Controlled Aerobic … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 29 Sep 2026 · 598 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVaccine Misinformation in the Digital Age: A Narrative ReviewOluwatobi AtibaConfidence in immunization has weakened across several regions over the past decade, and the circulation of inaccurate or misleading content about vaccines has accompanied, though not necessarily caused, the resurgence of vaccine-preventable infections. Adequate analysis cuts across immunology, behavioral science, communication research, and public-health practice. This narrative review draws on literature retrieved from PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 23 Sep 2026 · 592 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEpsilon-Insensitive Primal Loss With Support Vector Machine for Robust Cotton Leaf Disease ClassificationPavana Kumar Eramachetty Dhanajayalu, Malathi Sivasamy, Chitveli Siva Balaji YadavCotton diseases significantly reduce both yield and quality of crops, making early and accurate identification of the disease crucial for effective prevention and control. However, achieving a balance between lightweight models and precise classification of cotton diseases remains challenging. This difficulty arises primarily from the dispersed nature of disease symptoms and interference from noisy backgrounds, which complicate the detection process. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 6 · 5 Aug 2026 · 764 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Analysis of Fraud Detection Methods in Banking Using Machine Learning TechniquesYoussef Tounsi, Ennouri TaziFraud detection in banking requires algorithms that balance classification performance, computational efficiency, and regulatory interpretability, criteria that are rarely benchmarked together. We present a comprehensive evaluation of nine machine learning approaches (Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Random Forest, SVM, SGD, XGBoost, CatBoost, LightGBM, and MLP) across three datasets differing in size, imbalance severity, and feature type (synthetic, real-world PCA-anonymized, and large-scale … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 6 · 22 Jun 2026 · 1,351 accessesView PDFCite
