A Deep Learning Approach to Automated Coeliac Disease Diagnosis
… importance. The current gold-standard for CD diagnosis is through the procurement and assessment of a hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained duodenal biopsy. However, this is an unavoidably subjective process with low interobserver concordance, resulting in as many as 8/9 affected individuals …

Unsteady blood flow in the stenosed artery subjected to magnetic field and injected nanoparticles
… thus implying that Fe3O4 could be used as a diagnosis tool for drug delivery in stenosis treatment. The blood temperature increased slightly along the stream wise direction before reaching the constricted region. The temperature distributions were significantly dependent on periodic body …

STUDY OF THE MUTUAL INTERACTION BETWEEN EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX AND CELLS IN PERITONEAL METASTASIS
… probes was used as the main experimental tool. Presented results of mechanical characterization of ECM, together with additional biotechnological studies, revealed that signs of forming pre-metastatic niche are already present in normal derived tissue, which gives a chance to use the nano- …

Characterization of in vivo human skin in response to mechanical indentation using optical coherence tomography
… fluid dynamics in the skin. While the clinical diagnosis of skin pathologies relies mostly on visual inspection and manual palpation, a more quantitative tissue characterization is highly desirable. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an interferometry-based imaging modality that offers an …

Nailfold capillary loop shape analysis and classification by using image processing and pattern recognition techniques.
Nailfold capillaroscopy is a useful tool to diagnose endocrine, cardiovascular, neuropsychiatric, rheumatic and other diseases. Diagnoses are made on the presence or absence of certain types of capillary loops which are classified according to their shape. We have surveyed six clinicians, asking …

Affinity cryo-electron microscopy: Methods development and applications
… microscopy (cryo-EM) is an emerging powerful tool for structural studies of macromolecular assemblies. Although less concentrated and smaller amounts of samples are required for single particle cryo-EM compared to X-ray crystallography, it remains challenging to study specimens that are …

Classification of ADHD Using Heterogeneity Classes and Attention Network Task Timing
Throughout the 1990s ADHD diagnosis and medication rates have increased rapidly, and this trend continues today. These sharp increases have been met with both public and clinical criticism, detractors stating over-diagnosis is a problem and healthy children are being unnecessarily medicated and …

Ensemble of classifiers based data fusion of EEG and MRI for diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders
… stages. To facilitate the availability of early diagnosis in community hospitals, an accurate, inexpensive, and noninvasive diagnostic tool must be made available. As biomarkers, the event related potentials (ERP) of the electroencephalogram (EEG) - which has previously shown promise in automated …
