In this paper we present a new approach to classifying radiographs, which is the first important task of the IRMA system. Given an image, we compute posterior probabilities for each image class, as this information is needed for further IRMA processing. Classification is done by using an extended version of Simard’s tangent distance within a kernel density based classifier. We propose a new dis...

Picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) aim to efficiently provide the radiologists with all images in a suitable quality for diagnosis. Modern standards for digital imaging and communication in medicine (DICOM) comprise alphanumerical descriptions of study, patient, and technical parameters. Currently, this is the only information used to select relevant images within PACS. Since te...

The intense hurricane season of 2017 in the North Atlantic brought a number major hurricanes including Hurricane Irma (cat. 5), which landed on French islands St. Martin and Barthélemy. These two Overseas Collectivities, separated by distance some 20 kilometres, have very different territorial social characteristics. study reported this article is part scientific feedback conducted few weeks af...

Curriculum management is a cooperative, comprehensive, systemic and systematic curriculum system. LPK (Job Training Institute) non-formal educational institution organized for the community to provide knowledge skills that must have in accordance with government regulations. In this study, qualitative approach was used an analytical descriptive method. Conclusions The results of research are jo...

BACKGROUND After removal of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC), serum thyroglobulin (Tg) can indicate persistent or recurrent disease. We describe two novel two-step assays designed to measure low Tg concentrations. METHODS We evaluated prototypes of the new IRMA, DYNOtest Tg-pluS, and the new immunoluminometric assay (ILMA), LUMItest) Tg-pluS. In the first step, a high-salt incubation bu...

We describe a time-resolved immunofluorometric assay (IFMA) for corticotropin in unextracted human plasma, based on the use of two monoclonal antibodies: europium-labeled antibody 1A12 and antibody 2A3 coated onto microtiter wells. We compared the results of this assay with those of an immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) performed with the same antibodies working ranges (CV less than 10%) were 25 to...

Serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in men is present as two different molecular forms separable by gel-filtration chromatography (GFC). We have evaluated a two-site IRMA that measures only the noncomplexed (free) form of PSA (F-PSA). Verification that the F-PSA assay measures solely F-PSA was obtained by assaying GFC-fractionated serum samples with both the F-PSA IRMA and a commercial PSA as...
