Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEnhancing Kidney Stone Detection Accuracy Using Image Processing and a Hybrid Convolutional Deep Belief NetworkGeetha M. N, Barkathulla A, S. Nandhini Devi et al.Automated CKD is a rapidly expanding non-communicable ailment that significantly contributes to global mortality and morbidity. CKD impacts more than 10% of the worldwide population, leading to millions of deaths annually. This paper proposes an enhanced deep learning model for renal disease detection that integrates convolutional and involution layers to enhance classification accuracy. CKD is a worldwide health issue characterised … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 10 · 9 Oct 2026 · 749 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSchizencephaly: Case ReportJuliana Oliveira Freitas Silveira, Fernanda Schettini de Oliveira, Fernanda Arrua Vares et al.Problem statement: Whereas schizencephaly is a malformation of cortical development which exact cause remains unknown, is almost entirely characterized by clefts extending from the pial surface to ependymal surface and could be unilateral or bilateral. Oftentimes, it also occurs in association with other abnormalities. Over the years, two types were described in literature, lips closed and open. Therefore, our intention … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 28 Aug 2012 · 8,184 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRecent Clinical Advancement of the Effects of Parathyroid Analogues on Fracture Healing in Humans: A Review of LiteratureWen Wei Gerard Ee, Wen Liang Joel Lau, Harish Sivasubramanian, Diarmuid MurphyProblem statement: Numerous animal studies have shown that administration of Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) or a related analogue promotes callus formation and bone union. However, there has yet to be sufficient evidence in human subjects to justify the use of PTH or related analogues in promoting fracture healing. The purpose of this paper is to (1) review all literature involving the … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 27 Aug 2012 · 7,338 accessesView PDF Cite
