Towards an automated procedure for the quantitative cytological screening of cervical neoplasms.

چکیده
Integrating microdensitometry has been used to quantify the glycoprotein, epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), which is frequently expressed on the cytoplasmic membrane of neoplastic cells of the cervix uteri. The technique was able to identify and quantify the antigen over a wide concentration range and could also be semi-automated using a microcomputer interfaced to the microdensitometer and programmed with the simple high level language BASIC.

I-1: Screening of Subfertile Men for Testicularlar Carcinoma In Situ by An Automated Image Analysis-Based Cytological Test of The Ejaculate
Background: Testicular cancer (TC) is usually diagnosed after manifestation of an overt tumour. Tumour formation is preceded by a pre-invasive and asymptomatic stage, carcinoma in situ (CIS) testis, except for very rare subtypes. The CIS cells are located within seminiferous tubules but can be exfoliated and detected in ejaculates with specific CIS markers. Materials and Methods: We have built ...

OBJECTIVES Carcinoma of the cervix is the most common cause of the death in Nepal. Cervical carcinoma does not develop suddenly from normal epithelium but is presented by a spectrum of intraepithelial neoplastic changes that are precancerous lesion and were termed as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Cervical cytological screening is designed to detect over 90% of cytological abnormalit...
متن کاملQuantitative Bacterial Micro-Assay for Rapid Diagnosis of Galactosemia: Application in Galactosemia Neonatal Screening
In the present study a new economic and rapid bacterial micro-assay for simultaneous detection and quantitative measurement of serum galactose was developed. Analysis of the standard curve showed a linearity range for galactose from 2 mg/dL to 180 mg/dL with a regression equation of Y = 0.013X ? 0.083; R² = 0.962. The advantage of the method is its ability to measure serum galactose quantitativ...
متن کاملScreening for cancer: future potential
Much progress has been made in cancer screening over the past decade, but a great deal more needs to be done if screening is to make a major impact on worldwide cancer mortality. Where fully implemented, cytological screening for cervical precursor lesions has had a major impact on mortality. However, the cost and required infrastructure levels are high, and new approaches are needed if screeni...
