background existence the children with blood diseases in family could cause lots of stress and anxiety for parents, this stress among parents would negative effects on children's disease process and his response to treatment. materials and methods this is a descriptive-analytical study which carried out on 480 parents with children affected to blood disease referring to shafa hospital of a...

Purpose: Doing plyometric training with and without the vessel occlusion is an effective practice for rapid increase of muscles strength their hypertrophy. We evaluated the effects of plyometric training with and without the vessel occlusion on electromyographic parameters. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 22 females were selected through convenience sampling method. They were random...

Health Reports, Vol. 17, No. 1, November 2005 Statistics Canada, Catalogue 82-003 Diseases of the circulatory system are the major cause of illness, disability, and death in Canada.1 The most common of these diseases are ischemic heart disease (which includes acute myocardial infarction or heart attack ), congestive heart failure, and cerebrovascular disease (stroke). A heart attack is typicall...

Diabetic retinopathy is a severe sight threatening disease which causes blindness among working age people. This research work presents a retinal vessel segmentation technique, which can be used in computer based retinal image analysis. This proposed method could be used as a prescreening system for the early detection of diabetic retinopathy. The algorithm implemented in this work can be effec...

The accurate segmentation of blood vessels plays a crucial role in screening, diagnosis and treatment multiple diseases. However, current automated approaches do not pay enough attention to the vascular topology errors (such as mistaking vessel-breakpoints), resulting considerable scattered vessel-fragments results. This article proposes retinal vessel model using multi-scale context gating bre...

The anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitides are a group of uncommon diseases characterised by inflammatory cell infiltration and necrosis of blood vessel walls. ANCA there has been considerable progress towards understanding their pathogenesis. This results in endothelial activation with increased transmigration and adherence of neutrophils to vessel walls. Specific ...

Cardiac arrest and other heart related diseases have become common in today‟s modern life style. It is at most important to detect the abnormalities before the damage is caused. Ballistocardiogram (BCG) is a non-invasive method used to detect the health of heart. Ballistocardiography (BCG) is a plot of repetitive motion of human body arising from the ejection of blood into the blood vessel. BCG...

Angiograms have been used clinically for diagnosing acute heart diseases such as atherosclerosis. Due to the ambiguity arising from a single projected view of a 3D elongated structure a single-plane angiogram alone is unreliable. 3D reconstruction provides many important anatomical measurement that are either not available, or can not be accurately measured in 2D. For example, the projected len...

The term vasculitis encompasses a number of distinct clinicopathologic disease entities, each of which is characterized pathologically by cellular inflammation and destruction of the blood vessel wall, and clinically by the types and locations of the affected vessels. While multiple classification schemes have been proposed to categorize and simplify the approach to these diseases, ultimately t...
