Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleMosaic Masonries to Interpret Diagnostic Test ResultsRamalingam ShanmugamCurrently, assessing superiority of a diagnostic test requires cumbersome calculations and confusing interpretations because of nonlinear Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC). To remedy these difficulties, this article prepares, provides an easier alternate geometric approach. That is, a simple but more effective visual approach with two complementary mosaic masonries are constructed with their properties, superimposed and utilized. First masonry is conditional … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2013 · 6,854 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleComparison of Diagnostic Tests for Fosfomycin Resistance Detection in Clinically Significant EnterobacteralesSantoshi Maruti Naik, Biranthabail Dhanashree, Himani KotianMultidrug resistance in Enterobacterales has triggered interest in old antibiotics like fosfomycin. Various methods to determine fosfomycin resistance are time-consuming and yield unpredictable results. Hence, the study was undertaken to compare the rapid fosfomycin NP test with the recommended agar dilution test and few other tests. In this cross-sectional, time-bound, prospective study, Enterobacterales (N = 110) were tested for their … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 21 Nov 2025 · 2,113 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsWhy Continue Studying HRP2 and HRP3 in Malaria?María Luz Gunturiz, Pablo Enrique Chaparro, Gabriel Carrasquilla, Mónica Marcela JiménezThe main malaria control strategy is rapid and accurate diagnosis followed by effective treatment. The quality of the diagnosis is relevant, since an erroneous diagnosis can generate an increase in morbidity and mortality significantly. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended that all patients with suspected malaria be diagnosed by microscopy or a Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) before treatment. Microscopy … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 24 Aug 2020 · 6,897 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsA Permutation Test for Comparing Two Correlated Receiver Operating Characteristic CurvesOkeh Uchechukwu Marius, Onyeagu SidneyThe area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) is a summary measure when comparing two ROC curves. However, this summary measure is less informative when two ROC curves cross and have the same AUCs. In order to detect differences between ROC curves and to be able to tackle the problem of exchangeability of the labels between two diagnostic … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 24 May 2020 · 8,129 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTolemerase Reverse Transcriptase Gene Expression as a Tumor Marker for Hepatocellular CarcinomaM. Magdi Atta, Naglaa Al-Toukhy, Omnia Al-Said et al.Problem statement: Hepatocellular carcinoma will emerge as a major form of malignancy in the coming decades. The continuing high incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma, suggests that this disease will continue to represent a global health problem far into the future. Different genes encode for the various components of the human telomerase complex. These components include the human Telomerase RNA Component (hTERC) … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 3 Aug 2011 · 7,905 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsImpact 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 keywordsIs Wright Test an Appropriate Screening Test for Diagnosis of Brucellosis?Behzad Mohsenpour, Shahla Afrasiabian, Katayoon Hajibagheri, Ebrahim GhaderiProblem statement: Diagnosis of brucellosis is generally based on culture, polymerase chain reaction and serology. The first two methods are not accessible in all parts of world and are expensive. The routine method for diagnosis of brucellosis is considering Wright test as the first screening test; if the results are Wright positive’ Wright would be the next choice otherwise 2ME … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 17 Sep 2011 · 16,762 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChronic Lung Disease Identification in Chest CT Scans Through Hybrid Deep Transfer Learning FrameworkGarima Jain, Amit Kumar Goel, Rahul KumarAccurate and timely diagnosis is essential for successful treatment of chronic pulmonary conditions, particularly lung tumours. To capture more complicated pathological characteristics, diagnostic algorithms based on current data sets are restricted to using older databases and single branch systems. This research introduces a new solution: A hybrid deep learning model applied to a recently released quantitative database of CT scans … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 8 · 9 Sep 2026 · 651 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRefining Chest X-ray Interpretation with Deep Transfer Learning TechniquesR. Sriramkumar, K. Selvakumar, J. JeganChest X-rays are essential diagnostic tools for thoracic diseases, but different doctors' interpretations can differ greatly, which frequently results in inconsistent diagnoses. By using deep transfer learning techniques, this study seeks to improve the accuracy of Chest X-ray interpretations. More accurate and effective analysis can be accomplished with the growing potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical imaging, especially through … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 21, Issue 10 · 27 Nov 2025 · 2,644 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Data Transformation for Enhanced Clustering Performance in Diagnostic SystemsMohammed Subhi Al-BatahThis paper presents an enhanced approach to the Balanced Iterative Reducing and Clustering using Hierarchies (BIRCH) algorithm, aimed at improving clustering accuracy in medical data, specifically for breast cancer diagnosis. The proposed method introduces a modified data transformation technique to optimize the original BIRCH algorithm. This transformation refines the clustering process, resulting in significant improvements in diagnostic accuracy.
