A Diagnostic Advice System based on Pathophysiological Models of Diseases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Medical decision-support systems in which uncertainty plays an essential role are increasingly based on the formalism of probabilistic networks. Although this formalism is very powerful, the construction of actual networks is not straightforward, and requires the availability of clearly structured medical domain models as a starting point. In this paper it is argued that medical pathophysiological knowledge constitutes a good start for the development of such models, even though pathophysiological knowledge is semantically different from probabilistic knowledge. Two models concerning anaemia, which are part of a broad system covering the domain of anaemia, are discussed to illustrate the general approach.

Measuring the performances of Medical Diagnostic Laboratories based on interval efficiencies
The classic data envelopment analysis (DEA) models have overlooked the intermediate products, internal interactions and the absence of data certainty; and deal with analyzing the network within the “Black Box” mode. This results in the loss of important information and at times a considerable modification occurs in efficiency results. In this paper, a Three-stage network model is considered wit...

متن کاملSesterin as a biomolecule
Sestrins (Sesns), highly conserved stress-inducing metabolic proteins, are known to protect organisms against various harmful stimuli including DNA damage, oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and hypoxia. Sestrins regulate metabolism mainly through activation of AMP-dependent protein kinase (AMPK) and inhibition of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). Sestrins also play a pivotal role...
متن کاملPractices and Attitudes to Prevention of Travel-related Infectious Diseases in United Arab Emirates
Introduction: Among the United Arab Emirates (UAE) population more and more people now consider travelling abroad. This is potentially problematic because travelling enhances exposure between hosts and pathogens and so people that travel are putting their health at risk. This concern makes it necessary that public education is provided to inform people of the risks of travellin...
