Can Evolutionary-based Brain Map Be Used as a Complementary Diagnostic Tool with fMRI, CT and PET for Schizophrenic Patients?
Objective: In this research, a new approach termed as “evolutionary-based brain map†is presented as a diagnostic tool to classify schizophrenic and control subjects by distinguishing their electroencephalogram (EEG) features.Methods: Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is employed to find discriminative frequency bands from different EEG channels. By deploying the energy of those selected fr...

The Gram's stain technique was never intended for use as a diagnostic tool. This technique does not possess the characteristics necessary to yield such specific results. However, there is.no doubt that the Gram's stain is a useful technique to distinguish the morphology of bacteria. It is also of significant use, to a degree, in distinguishing two major groups of bacteria, the gram-positive and...
متن کاملOverweight can be used as a tool to guide case-finding for cardiovascular risk assessment.
BACKGROUND In general practice, it is too time-consuming to invite all patients for cardiovascular risk assessment. OBJECTIVE To examine how many patients with an indication for treatment with cardiovascular medication can be identified by ad hoc case-finding when all patients with overweight/obesity are invited for risk assessment. METHODS A cross-sectional analysis of the baseline measure...
متن کاملThe partitioning of fat in ruminants-can nutrition be used as a tool to regulate marbling?
In this paper we propose that regulation of the glucose/ insulin axis by diet will result in increased fattening at the marbling (intramuscular) depot. The pattern of fat accretion in the whole carcass is first described to emphasise that the marbling depot is relatively late maturing. The pathways of fat metabolism are then discussed with the aim of examining the possibility of regulating fat ...
متن کاملCan Prostate Specific Antigen Be Used as New Biomarker for Early Diagnosis of Breast Cancer?
Introduction: As a glycoprotein, Plasma Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) is mainly produced by prostate epithelial cells and is used as a major diagnostic tool for prostate cancer. A group of researchers relate the elevated number of estrogen receptors in breast cancer samples to the over-production of PSA in this type of cancer. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the participants' ...
