Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleApplying Neural Network-Based Approach to Sickle Cell Disease-Related Pain ClassificationZacchaeus Omogbadegun, Israel Ogundele, Olufunke OladipupoSickle Cell Disease (SCD), an inherited Red Blood Cell (RBC) disorder, is characterized by anaemia, end-organ damage, unpredictable episodes of pain and early mortality. SCD affects 25% of people living in Central and West Africa causing life threatening “silent” strokes and lifelong damage. Nigeria accounts for 50% of SCD births worldwide (estimated 150,000 of 300,000 babies born with Symptomatic Sickle … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 6 · 28 Jun 2019 · 7,678 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMonte Carlos Simulation Approach to Population Dynamics of Sickle Cell AnaemiaOlumuyiwa O. Akanbi, Sunday O. Edeki, Olumuyiwa A. AgboladeSickle Cell Anaemia (SCA) is a serious inherited blood disorder where the red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body develop abnormally. The mathematical dynamics of the disease remain poorly understood, as such this paper investigates the mathematical inheritance pattern of the disease by the application of Monte Carlos simulation technique which is a complementary approach to physical simulation … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 15 Mar 2017 · 7,508 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFeature Extraction and Classification of Blood Cells Using Artificial Neural NetworkMagudeeswaran Veluchamy, Karthikeyan Perumal, Thirumurugan PonuchamyProblem statement: One method of evaluating the clinical status is counting of cell types based on features that it contains. There is a need for a rapid, reproducible method, superior to human inspection and for the classification of cells. For solving these problems, quantitative digital-image analysis is applied and a novel method for classifications of affected blood cells from normal … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 18 Feb 2012 · 8,156 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Case of Refractory Salmonella Spondylodiscitis in an Immunocompetent Patient Treated Via an Extracavitary Approach, Corpectomy and Placement of Expandable CageKimon Bekelis, Oren Gottfried, Zyia L. Gokaslan et al.Problem statement: Salmonella spondylodiscitis is a rare condition that is more prevalent in patients with sickle cell disease or immunosuppression. However, it can also be found in immunocompetent patients. It usually responds well to proper antibiotics. However, surgery is rarely indicated when the infection is refractory to antibiotics, the spine is destabilized or there is an epidural component that is … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,533 accessesView PDF Cite
