BACKGROUND Evaluation is a necessary measure to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of all systems, including expert systems. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic value of expert system for diagnosis of complex skin diseases. METHODS A case-control study was conducted in 2015 to determine the diagnostic value of an expert system. The study population included patients who...

background: glues are strong, liquid adhesive derived from animal tissues. it has been shown that glue sniffing is associated with demyelinating polyneuropathy. the low molecular weight agents which cause occupational lung disease have generally included the isocyanates exposure to which could result in asthma among workers. toluene is also used widely in glue and adhesive industry and househol...

The risk of cardio vascular diseases can be identified by measuring the retinal blood vessel. The identification of wrong blood vessel may result in wrong clinical diagnosis. This proposed system addresses the problem of identifying the true vessel by vascular structure segmentation. In this proposed model the segmented vascular structure is modelled as a vessel segment graph and the true vesse...

European Society of Radiology (ESR): Imaging is known for its ability to detect and diagnose diseases. What kind of brain diseases can imaging help to detect and diagnose? Miloš Lučić: Actually, there are very few brain diseases that can’t be diagnosed by modern imaging techniques nowadays. Thanks to the extraordinary breakthroughs in imaging technology in the last decades, neuroradiologists ha...

Inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system are often challenging to diagnose. Necrotizing meningoencephalitis, necrotizing leukoencephalitis, and granulomatous meningoencephalomyelitis have characteristic locations of lesions on histopathologic examination and, therefore, characteristic findings from advanced imaging. Together with clinical signs and clinicopathologic data, these chara...

In some neurological diseases, advanced examinations can be used as diagnostic tools. Several indicators have also been discovered that to assess the severity of neuronal damage and disease progression. Neurofilament light chain (NfL) is a cytoskeleton protein makes up structure neuron axons released when injured, allowing it injury severity. NfL was first diagnose central nervous system disord...
