NON INVASIVE CANCER DETECTION: FROM BENCH TO BEDSIDE
… procedures were invasive and expensive. Mass screening for cancer could save a lot of lives. The diagnostic procedure should be non-invasive, low-cost and easy to use to implement mass screening. This thesis investigated the possible non-invasive modalities of cancer diagnosis using in …

Automated histopathological analyses at scale
… to operate, making it unsuitable for large-scale screening in resource-constrained settings, where experts are scarce and expensive. In this thesis, we present a software system for automated screening, backed by deep learning algorithms. This cost-effective, easily-scalable solution can be …

Extending the reach of anterior segment ophthalmic imaging
Eye exams via a slit lamp are critical in screening for conditions such as cataracts, corneal opacities and pterygia early on to avert vision loss. The slit lamp, however, is a purely qualitative optical device that is bulky, expensive, can cause eye discomfort due to light sensitivity. It also …

Predictors of Self-Injurious Behaviors: A Person by Situation Analysis of Health-Compromising Behavior
… using the Bem Sex-Role Inventory during a mass screening and during the laboratory session participants either received a masculine threat or no threat. Men engaged in more self-injurious behavior than did women. Importantly, gender role orientation qualified this effect with higher …

ETHICS AND PUBLIC HEALTH INTERVENTIONS.
Programmatic vaccination and screening are the reasons for this thesis. The practice of public health incorporating medicine’s cognitive contents along with contributions from other fields of human activities is basically a moral enterprise. It is important that limitations from the whole continuum …

Monitoring Biological Events on Native Cell Membranes with Organic Bioelectronics
Traditional drug screening technologies rely heavily on animal testing, which is not only expensive and time-consuming, but also raises many ethical issues. Also, most drug candidates fail during the different phases of drug testing. Therefore, developing a low-cost, rapid, and animal-free system …
