The First Step Toward Diagnosing Female Genital Schistosomiasis by Computer Image Analysis
Schistosoma haematobium causes female genital schistosomiasis (FGS), which is a poverty-related disease in sub-Saharan Africa. Furthermore, it is co-endemic with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and biopsies from genital lesions may expose the individual to increased risk of HIV infection. However, microscopy of urine and hematuria are nonspecific and insensitive predictors of FGS and gyneco...
متن کاملA First Step Toward Chromosome Analysis
In this paper, we use Kolmogorov complexity and compression algorithms to study DOS-DNA (DOS: de-ned ordered sequence). This approach gives quantitative and qualitative explanations of the regularities of apparently regular regions. We present the problem of the coding of approximate multiple tandem repeats in order to obtain compression. Then we describe an algorithm that allows to nd eecientl...
متن کاملA first step toward visual servoing using image moments
In this paper, we determine the analytical form of the interaction matrix related to any moments that can be computed from binary or segmented images. We then apply this theoretical result to image-based visual servoing by selecting six combinations of moments able to control the six dof of the system. The experimental results we present show that a correct behavior of the system is obtained if...
متن کاملCorrection: A New Mouse Model for Female Genital Schistosomiasis
BACKGROUND Over 112 million people worldwide are infected with Schistosoma haematobium, one of the most prevalent schistosome species affecting humans. Female genital schistosomiasis (FGS) occurs when S. haematobium eggs are deposited into the female reproductive tract by adult worms, which can lead to pelvic pain, vaginal bleeding, genital disfigurement and infertility. Recent evidence suggest...
متن کاملFemale genital schistosomiasis of the lower genital tract: prevalence and disease-associated morbidity in northern Tanzania.
Female genital schistosomiasis (FGS) is a neglected disease manifestation of schistosomiasis. A cross-sectional study was carried out to assess in a schistosomiasis-endemic area the proportion of women affected by FGS of the lower reproductive tract and to compare the frequency of symptoms and signs possibly associated with FGS between women with proven FGS (n=134), endemic referents (n=225, wo...
