History of High-Resolution Anoscopy

High-resolution anoscopy: clinical features of anal intraepithelial neoplasia in HIV-positive men.

BACKGROUND High-resolution anoscopy is increasingly advocated to screen HIV+ men who have sex with men for anal cancer and its precursor lesions, anal intraepithelial neoplasia. A systematic comparison between clinical features and the histopathology of suspect lesions is lacking. OBJECTIVE This study aims to analyze interobserver agreement in classifying features of intra-anal lesions suspec...

The value of high-resolution anoscopy in the diagnosis of anal cancer precursor lesions in HIV-positive patients.

CONTEXT Anal cancer, although a still rare disease, is being observed in ascending rates among some population segments known to be at risk for the development of the disease. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, immunodepression and anal intercourse are some factors associated with the development of the malignancy. Its similarities to cervical cancer have led to many studies aiming to establ...

Classification of Ultra-high Resolution Images using Soft Computing

The main objective of this paper is to use a computational intelligence algorithm for preparing a mapping map that categorizes different patterns of identification of infected areas and changes in radiation pollution. In this paper, the use of the fuzzy inference system has been proposed to determine the degree of radiation contamination in the regions. The study uses ultra-high resolution spec...
