Purpose: Myocardial infarction is among the most common diagnoses in patients admitted   to hospitals in western countries, and its rapid diagnosis is of utmost importance. This study   was conducted to determine the most sensitive double-marker cardiac isoenzyme of creatinine   kinase, troponin I, and myoglobin for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction.   Materials and Methods: This was an ...

Background: Intra-operative molecular diagnostic assays are currently used for the detection of lymph node metastases. The objective of this study was to find new biomarkers to improve diagnostic accuracy in the detection of metastatic axillary lymph nodes in breast cancer patients. Methods: We applied an absolute quantitative real-time RT-PCR to quantitate the expression of CK19, KLK11, and CL...

This paper deals with a two-warehouse inventory model for deteriorating items with time dependent demand and partial backlogging under inflation. It is assumed that deterioration of items follows two-parameter Weibull distribution and demand rate varies exponentially with time. Shortages are allowed and partial backlogging depends on waiting time of next replenishment. A numerical example is pr...

introduction: although extensive research has been conducted on lung cancer markers, a singular clinically applicable marker has not been found yet. the objective of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity and the specificity of carcinoembryonic antigen (cea) mrna and lung-specific x protein (lunx) mrna biomarkers in peripheral blood to detect lung cancer individually and simultaneously. met...

This article presents a fuzzy robust Mixed - Sensitivity Gain - Scheduled H controller based on the Loop -Shaping methodology for a class of MIMO uncertain nonlinear Time - Varying systems. In order to design this controller, the nonlinear parameter - dependent plant is first modeled as a set of linear subsystems by Takagi and Sugeno’s (T - S) fuzzy approach. Both Loop - Shaping methodology and...
