Oral Oncology (47)9 2011
Abstract
Cancer of the oral cavity accounts for almost 3% of cancer cases in the world. The incidence varies widely reflecting geographic differences in exposure to risk factors. The recent rise in younger age groups and females seen in many countries is of particular concern. Treatment and management of comp...

Abstract
We discuss a sensor-integrated system model for metabolic syndrome prediction with workflow system. This model measures not only a cell temperature variation using invasive method but also controlling simulation for metabolic syndrome prediction. To identify the system realization, we discuss the sc...

Managed care (Langhorne, Pa.) (19)10 Suppl 4 2010
Abstract
Abstract
The clinical usefulness of a diagnostic test is determined by the extent to which it helps to modify the pretest probability of occurrence of a certain diagnosis. For this purpose, the calculation and application of likelihood ratios (LR) is a very useful tool. Every possible result of a test has a...

Abstract
BP neural networks may, sometimes, predict clinical diagnoses with accuracies similar to those of other methods. However, traditional statistical procedures, such as regression analyses need to be added for testing their accuracies against alternative methods. Nonetheless, BP neural networks have gr...

We reported that VacA induces autophagy. Multilamellar autophagosomes are detected in gastric epithelial cells that are distinct from the large vacuoles formed by VacA. Furthermore, inhibition of autophagy stabilizes VacA and reduces vacuolation in the cells indicating that the toxin is being degrad...

Abstract
In medicine, an adverse effect (AE) is a harmful and undesired effect resulting from a medication or intervention and procedures. Some AEs only occur when starting, increasing or discontinuing a treatment; in this case they are a function of dosage or drug levels at the target organs, or they may al...
