A Novel Fuzzy-Genetic Differential Evolutionary Algorithm for Optimization of A Fuzzy Expert Systems Applied to Heart Disease Prediction
This study presents a novel intelligent Fuzzy Genetic Differential Evolutionary model for the optimization of a fuzzy expert system applied to heart disease prediction in order to reduce the risk of heart disease. To this end, a fuzzy expert system has been proposed for the prediction of heart disease. The proposed model can be used as a tool to assist physicians. In order to: (1) tune the para...
متن کاملEvaluation of the genetic test components
The sequencing of human genome leads to obtain an important data on genetic elements having a crucial role in the molecular pathology of genetic disorders. This is the reason of introducing genetic tests to medical field. Genetic testing looks for changes at chromosomes, genes and protein level to detect heritable conditions for clinical purposes. Genetic tests used in routine practice are va...
متن کاملKikuchi-Fujimoto Disease: A Rare Presentation with Localized Iliac Lymphadenitis
Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD) is a benign, self-limiting disease characterized by histiocytic necrotising lymphadenitis. Though several viral agents or an autoimmune etiology has been proposed as causative, the exact cause remains unknown. It has a female predilection and most commonly seen among young Asian people. Patients usually present with a febrile illness and the presence of lymphadeno...

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common form of inherited kidney disease that results in renal failure. PKD currently has no causative therapy. However, some treatment options are available, ranging from symptomatic therapy to delaying the onset of end-stage renal failure. Early diagnosis of adult polycystic kidney disease is vital in order to prevent its complic...
متن کاملA Practical Guide to Differential Diagnosis of Small B Cell Lymphomas
Correct diagnosis and classification of lymphoid neoplasms depends on the integration of morphologic, immunophenotypic and molecular genetic features. The mature small B cell lymphomas despite their overlapping histomorphologies, have different clinical behavior and treatment. In this review, differentia...
