The early detection and grade diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy (DR) are very important for the avoidance blindness, using deep learning methods to automatically diagnose DR has attracted great attention. However, small amount data limits its application. To learn disease’s features detect more accurately, we constructed a diagnostic model. realize model, authors performed following steps: firs...

background and objectives: rcc is one of the most common genitourinary cancers. accurate prediction of prognosis would be valuable for adjuvant trial design, counseling and effectively scheduling follow up visits. p53 is a tumor suppressor gene that expresses a protein that involved in both cell-cycle arrests after dna damage and apoptosis. presence of mutated p53 protein in tumors has been rel...

background: gastric and colorectal adenocarcinoma are the second and the fifth most common cancers in iran, respectively. expression of cytokeratin 7 (ck7) is established in most malignancies including gastric and colorectal adenocarcinoma. demonstration of ck7 could be related to prognostic factors and help to the better management of the patients. the objective of our study was to evaluate th...

Eighty children (kindergarten through 4th grade) performed discrimination and identification tasks for tachistoscopically-presented letter pairs. Letter pairs manipulated font (Times New Roman, Arial), point size (12and 18-point) and letter-pair discrimination difficulty (easy, medium, and hard). Higher percent correct scores occurred for the Arial font and 18-pt size, and performance was bette...
