A hybrid neural network – world cup optimization algorithm for melanoma detection Tập 13 Số 1 - Trang 9-16 - 2018
Navid Razmjooy, Fatima Rashid Sheykhahmad, Noradin Ghadimi
AbstractOne of the most dangerous cancers in humans is Melanoma. However, early
detection of melanoma can help us to cure it completely. This paper presents a
new efficient method to detect malignancy in melanoma via images. At first, the
extra scales are eliminated by using edge detection and smoothing. Afterwards,
the proposed method can be utilized to segment the cancer images. Finally, the

Probiotics and prebiotics — renaissance of a therapeutic principle Tập 2 Số 3 - Trang 237-270 - 2007
Pavol Frič
Abstract Probiotics are nonpathogenic microorganisms mostly of human origin
which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the
host and enable to prevent or improve some diseases. Probiotics may be a natural
temporary constituent of the resident intestinal microflora, but their
concentration is not sufficient for therapeutic purposes. The microbiota, the
intestinal epithe... hiện toàn bộ
Garengeot’s hernia: two case reports with CT diagnosis and literature review Tập 11 Số 1 - Trang 354-360 - 2016
Cristina García-Amador, Roberto de la Plaza Llamas, Vladimir Arteaga, Aylhin López-Marcano, José Manuel Ramia
Abstract Garengeot’s hernia (GH) is defined as the presence of the appendix
inside a femoral hernia. It occurs in 0.9% of femoral hernias and is usually an
incidental finding during surgery. Its treatment is controversial and the aim of
this article is to review the diagnostic methods and surgical considerations. We
report two cases diagnosed preoperatively by contrast-enhanced computed
tomography... hiện toàn bộ
Markers of oxidative stress in acute myocardial infarction treated by percutaneous coronary intervention Tập 4 Số 1 - Trang 26-31 - 2009
Eva Sedláková, Olivér Rácz, Eva Lovásová, Roman Beòaèka, Martin Kurpas, Anna Chmelařová, J Sedlák, Martin Studenèan
AbstractIn the current study, we evaluated the dynamics of oxidative stress
markers in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) treated by primary
percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Thirty consecutive patients with AMI
with ST elevation were included. Plasma lipid peroxidation end product
malondialdehyde (MDA) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in blood plasma were
evaluated. Perip... hiện toàn bộ
Protective potential of L. acidophilus in murine giardiasis - 2010
Gaurav Shukla, Tarveen Kaur, Rakesh Sehgal, Praveen Rishi, Vijay Prabha
AbstractThis study describes the in vivo activity of Lactobacillus acidophilus
in Giardia lamblia infected BALB/c mice. Experimentally, it was observed that
daily administration of lactobacilli 7 days before or in simultaneous
inoculation with Giardia trophozoites efficiently reduced G. lamblia infection
in mice. More specifically, excretion of Giardia cysts were reduced
significantly in probiotic... hiện toàn bộ
Dietary micronutrients and gastric cancer: hospital based study - 2011
Konstansa Lazarević, Aleksandar Nagorni, Dragan Bogdanović, Nataša Rančić, Ljiljana Stošić, Suzana M Milutinović
AbstractThe association between micronutrients and gastric cancer is still
unclear. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between dietary
intake of micronutrients and risk for gastric cancer. We used data from
hospital-based case control study conducted at Clinical Centre Nis (Serbia) from
2005 and 2006. Patients (n=102) with first histologically confirmed gastric
cancer and match... hiện toàn bộ
GPR37 promotes the malignancy of lung adenocarcinoma via TGF-β/Smad pathway Tập 16 Số 1 - Trang 024-032 - 2020
Jian Wang, Min Xu, Dandan Li, Wujikenayi Abudukelimu, Xiu-Hong Zhou
Abstract This paper aimed to research the function and in-depth mechanism of
GPR37 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Herein, based on TCGA and Oncomine
databases, we revealed that GPR37 was expressed at high levels in LUAD, and
upregulation of GPR37 was related to the poor outcomes. Furthermore, biological
function experiments in vitro were utilized to assess whether GPR37 impacts
malignant phenotype... hiện toàn bộ
Prenatal, perinatal and neonatal risk factors for autism - study in Poland Tập 8 Số 4 - Trang 424-430 - 2013
Dorota Mrożek-Budzyn, Renata Majewska, Agnieszka Kiełtyka
Abstract The results of conducted research studies suggest that heredity and
early fetal and neonatal development play a causal role in autism. The objective
was to determine a relationship between pre-, peri-, and neonatal factors and
autism. The relationship between genders and individual risk factors for autism
was also examined. A case-control study was conducted among 288 children (96
cases w... hiện toàn bộ
Heart rate variability in patients after cardiac valve surgery - 2008
Nenad Lakušić, Valentina Slivnjak, Franjo Baborski, Zdenko Sonicki
Abstract The aim of study was to analyze heart rate variability (HRV) after
different cardiac valve surgery procedures and the prognostic values of these
findings. This study included 101 consecutive patients who underwent surgical
implantation for an artificial valve. The mean age of the patients was 62 ± 10
years. An aortic valve was implanted in 65 patients. A mitral valve was
implanted in 36 p... hiện toàn bộ
Cutaneous yeast microflora in patients with atopic dermatitis - 2011
Auksė Zinkevičienė, Nemira Vaiciulioniene, Irena Baranauskiene, Violeta Kvedarienė, Regina Ėmužytė, Donaldas Čitavičius
AbstractThe skin of persons with atopic dermatitis (AD) is very susceptible to
cutaneous infection, and some yeast species may also aggravate AD. The total
yeast population of an AD patient’s skin and its relation with individual age
and body part remains poorly characterized. The aim of this study was to clarify
the differences in cutaneous yeast flora by age and body parts of AD patients.By
