Recent research has suggested that there is no general similarity measure, which can be applied on arbitrary databases without any parameterization. Hence, the optimal combination of similarity measures and parameters must be identified for each new image repository. This optimization loop is time consuming and depends on the experience of the designer as well as the knowledge of the medical ex...

To date, many of the current criteria for diagnosis of somatotropin (growth hormone, GH) deficiency have been based upon measurement of this hormone by competitive radioimmunoassay (RIA) with use of polyclonal antibodies. In recent years, however, the development of hybridoma technology has led to the generation of various monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) to GH with different affinities and epitope...

Zusammenfassung. Die Realisierung medizinischer Bilddatenbanken mit inhaltsbasiertem Zugriff erfordert die interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit zwischen Medizin und Informatik. Daher ist für IRMA neben der theoretischen Fundierung des Retrieval-Prozesses die Implementierung einer Entwicklungsplattform von Bedeutung, die neben den klassischen Vorteilen eines verteilten Systems eine einfache interdis...

Bioactive compounds of Boesenbergia sp. and their anti-inflammatory mechanism: A reviewAziiz Mardanarian Rosdianto, Irma Melyani Puspitasari, Ronny Lesmana, Jutti Levita

2010 platform (Roche Diagnostics). Ionized calcium and 25-hydroxyvita-min D (Nichols Advantage) were also measured in all samples. Results for the healthy individuals are presented in Fig. 1. The bio-intact PTH values measured by the IRMA and chemiluminescence immunoas-say were, on average, 50% and 30% lower, respectively, than the PTH measured by the Elecsys. Regression analysis demonstrated s...

IRMA is an abbreviation for “I Reveal My Attributes”, and at the same time it is the name of a project run by the Digital Security group of the University of Nijmegen and its partners to get attribute-based identity management up and running. This hands-on approach forces us to elaborate many unexplored issues, leading to a better understanding of attributes and their possibilities and challeng...
