Auscultation is used to evaluate heart health, and can indicate when it's needed to refer a patient to a cardiologist. Advanced phonocardiograph (PCG) signal processing algorithms are developed to assist the physician in the initial diagnosis but they are primarily designed and demonstrated with research quality equipment. Therefore, there is a need to demonstrate the applicability of those tec...

Cardiovascular diseases are some of the most common today. Congenital abnormalities, caused by impaired heart rhythm, vascular occlusion, post-operation arrhythmias, attacks and irregularities in valves various cardiovascular diseases. Early recognition them is very important for obtaining positive results treatment. For this purpose, it tried to diagnose detect listening sounds coming from hea...

there are reports from different countries that some types of glaucoma are associated with blood groups. this cross-sectional study was performed on 400 glaucomatous patients [100 patients in each group of primary open angle glaucoma (poag), chronic angle closure glaucoma (cacg), pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (pexg) and primary congenital glaucoma (pcg)] and 400 blood donors as control group to as...

High-resolution global ocean general circulation models (OGCMs) play a key role in accurate forecasting. However, the of operational forecasting systems are still not high resolution due to subsequent demand for large computation, as well low parallel efficiency barrier. Good scalability is an important index and challenge OGCMs. We found that communication cost barotropic solver, namely, preco...

The metabolism of benzylpenicillin (PCG) in isolated rat hepatocytes was investigated. The evidence of metabolizing activity for PCG in hepatic cells was obtained as follows; the disappearance rate of PCG from the incubation medium followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics and was dependent on the cellular protein concentration, while PCG did not disappear when it was incubated with cells denaturated ...

The Polycomb group (PcG) complex is a chromatin-associated multiprotein complex, involved in the stable repression of homeotic gene activity in Drosophila. Recently, a mammalian PcG complex has been identified with several PcG proteins implicated in the regulation of Hox gene expression. Although the mammalian PcG complex appears analogous to the complex in Drosophila, the molecular mechanisms ...
