Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCombination of Serological Tests (Anti-CCP Antibody, Rheumatoid Factor IgM ELISA and Latex Test) are more Useful in Detection of Rheumatoid ArthritisAnindya Das, Chimanjita Phukan, Chitralekha BaruahRheumatoid arthritis is a polyarticular and chronic inflammatory disease occurring throughout the world. To prevent significant joint damage, early diagnosis and proper treatment is of paramount importance. Though patients are diagnosed clinically supported by radiography and serological tests, early disease may present with non-specific arthritis and absence of specific radiographic findings. Though anti-CCP antibody is used for the diagnosis and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 23 Sep 2017 · 7,389 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Integrated Nursing and Digital Droplet PCR on Bullous Dermatoid Conditions: A Randomized Controlled TrialConghui ChenBullous skin disease is an autoimmune disease characterized by the formation of blisters on the skin or mucous membrane, which seriously impairs the quality of life and overall health. Similar to the research on biomolecules (mechanics of protein interaction), cells (including cell membrane elasticity, cell adhesion, cytoskeletal dynamics, response to mechanical stimulation, cell deformation and cell endoforce transfer) and tissue … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 2 Jul 2026 · 985 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRandom Forest-Based Genome Analysis for Disease Association and SNP Marker IdentificationXiangdong LiuAt present, genomic data analysis has the problems of insufficient model interpretation and limited computational efficiency in disease association research. As a powerful machine learning algorithm, Random Forest has demonstrated excellent ability in processing complex and multi-dimensional data sets and has gradually become a popular tool in the field of bioinformatics. The purpose of this paper is to explore how … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 25 Jul 2025 · 5,533 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Multiplex PCR Panel on Reducing Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic Use in Ventilator-Associated PneumoniaMaría Inés Staneloni, Emilio F. Huaier Arriazu et al.The extended use of broad-spectrum antimicrobials contribute to the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance. This study evaluated the impact of a multimodal strategy aiming at reducing the duration of broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy in Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP). Conducted in a single Intensive Care Unit (ICU), this quasi-experimental, retrospective study compares a pre-intervention period (08/01/2018-07/01/2019) with an intervention period (08/01/2022-07/01/2023). Adult patients … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 8 Jul 2025 · 6,582 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnderwater Fused Image Classification Using Deep Learning Based Resnet and Hybrid PSO + HHO ModelDevika Sarath, M. SucharithaIn image fusion, multiple images are combined into one with minimal distortion and data loss. Image fusion forms a highly configured image with good results. The image fusion technique is employed in various domains, including remote sensing, robotics, medical applications, and underwater image processing. The focus of this study is on a unique underwater image fusion approach that allows for … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 24 Mar 2023 · 5,844 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRecognition of Pathological Voices by Human Factor Cepstral Coefficients (HFCC)Rabeh Hamdi, Salah Hajji, Adnene CherifHuman speech is a means of communication that is very important in our daily lives. It is characterized by its great ability to transmit our ideas, our emotions, our personality etc. So, any alteration of the voice can prevent the person from exercising his professional and daily life naturally. It is for these reasons that it is very necessary to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 8 · 7 Aug 2020 · 6,859 accessesView PDFCite
Research NotesOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of A Rapid IgM-IgG Combined Antibody Test for SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Single Italian Center StudyKatia Margiotti, Marina Cupellaro, Sabrina Emili et al.The need for timely establishment of diagnostic assays of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is demanded in laboratories worldwide. We evaluated the performance of a flow immunoassay which can detect IgM an IgG antibodies simultaneously against SARS-CoV-2 virus in human blood within 15 min. Among the 132 positive novel Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) cases, 126 tests were consistent … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2020 · 7,610 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiagnosis of Hepatitis Disease with Logistic Regression and Artificial Neural NetworksAlaa M. Elsayad, Ahmed M. Nassef, Mujahed Al-DhaifallahHepatitis C refers to the inflammatory state of the liver caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, and exposure to toxins such as alcohol and self-immunity. The diagnosis requires investigating many laboratory tests and comparing the results to those of the former patients with the same conditions. This study presents the results of our experiments to build a hybrid system that combines … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 27 Mar 2020 · 7,466 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProcalcitonin and Clinical Factors Associated with Severe Dengue Infection in Hospitalized Adults in MalaysiaHuzairi Sani, Nada Syazana, Zahir Izuan et al.Dengue Fever (DF) is the commonest mosquito-borne viral infection that results in hospitalisation amongst patients in Malaysia. The cornerstone of managing dengue virus infection is the prediction hence prevention of severe DF from developing. Warning signs proposed by WHO as clinical predictors of severe DF are insensitive. Procalcitonin (PCT) has been shown to increase in bacterial infections and is useful … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 3 Dec 2019 · 7,360 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSensitive and Rapid Detection of Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria in Jet Fuel by Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Combined with Lateral Flow DipstickZezhen Li, Yun Xiong, Peng Zhu, Hailong HuangThe existence of Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria (SRB) is one of the significant reasons for the Microbially Influenced Corrosion (MIC) of jet fuel. Especially for the jet fuel stored by military, since jet fuel is stored in the tank for a long time, some oxygen-consuming bacteria such as Amorphotheca resinae and Bacillus Cohn can consume oxygen and generate organic acids at the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 11 Apr 2018 · 10,395 accessesView PDFCite
