This is an article about children's deafness, it's ethiology, diagnosis, treatment, and educa­tional treatment. Here I have given a brief account about the deafness itself and it's in­dividual and social complications, also it's im­pression on the psychological well baing of the child. Then I have discussed, rather in detail, the ethiology of .children's deafness and I have given some statistic...

Urinary incontinence is a common problem in paediatric population and can be caused by many disturbances. To diagnose isolated nocturnal enuresis it is important to exclude physical anomalies that can lead to urinary incontinence. Sacral agenesis is a rare defect of vertebral column which can occur as an isolated defect or coexist with other anomalies. Mild clinical symptoms of the defect may d...

The automated recognition of the visual field defect type from results of visual field testing is crucial for the adequate diagnosis and treatment of the underlying disease of the visual system. This paper presents a reliable rule-based classifier that emulates the decision strategies of expert ophthalmologists based on a two-level approach that combines methods of unsupervised learning.

As the development of memory technology enables the production of high density memory, the use of dual port memory increases. Therefore, testing and diagnosis of the dual port memory is important. In this paper, when a defect is detected in the memory testing process, a new diagnosis algorithm that classifies specific types of defects is proposed. The new algorithm increases fault models effici...
