Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan images are one of the bio medical imaging techniques similar to that of MRI scan images but PET scan images are helpful in finding the development of tumors. The PET scan images requires expertise in the segmentation where clustering plays an important role in the automation process. The segmentation of such images is manual to automate the process cluste...

Prediction of Alzheimers disease (AD) progression based on baseline measures allows us to understand disease progression and has implications in decisions concerning treatment strategy. To this end we combine a predictive multi-task machine learning method1 with novel MR-based multivariate morphometric surface map of the hippocampus2 to predict future cognitive scores of patients. Previous work...

As known, adventure and experience about lesson, entertainment, and knowledge can be gained by only reading a book. Even it is not directly done, you can know more about this life, about the world. We offer you this proper and easy way to gain those all. We offer many book collections from fictions to science at all. One of them is this alzheimers disease downs syndrome and aging that can be yo...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows to display brain structures with highest resolution. To fully exploit the potential of this imagining modality, data mining methods are required to reveal subtle differences in brain structure caused by disorders such as Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and early stage Alzheimers disease (AD). In this paper, we propose a data mining framework which combine...

the most popular animal models of alzheimer’s disease (ad) are transgenic mice expressing human genes with known mutations which do not represent the most abundant sporadic form of the disease. an increasing number of genetic, vascular and psychosocial data strongly support that the octodon degus, a moderate-sized and diurnal precocial rodent, provides a naturalistic model for the study of the ...

cognize this dilemma might encourage them to develop functional teams. Individual neurologists and geriatricians could continue to diagnose routine neurological problems referred to them. In addition, they could subspecialize so that each might have a specific input in a multidisciplinary team which focused, for example, on the diagnosis and continuing care of the big three: stroke, the epileps...

human fasciolosis is deemed as an emerging/re-emerging infection, hence making it an important human parasitic disease. in contrast to northern parts of iran, human cases of fasciolosis in southern iran are rare and sporadic. we report a sporadic case of fasciolosis in southern iran (fars province) who presented with prolonged fever. our report could suggest that there might be new foci emergin...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder. Currently available therapies are symptomatic but do not alter underlying disease progression. Immunotherapeutic approaches such as anti Aβ peptide active vaccination trials have had limited success to date. Intravenous immunoblobulin (IVIg) is widely used in immune-mediated neurological disorders such myasthenia gravis and...

We previously have found biofilms in the hippocampi of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) post mortem brain specimens. We had seen them in an extracellular location and noted them to be present in the areas of pathological plaque formation. Other investigators have found the presence of spirochetes (Lyme and dental) in affected (AD) brains, and these have been correlated with Treponema pallidum. In a rec...
