ulcerative colitis is a chronic disease that specifically affects the mucosa of the rectum and colon. although the etiology of this recurring inflammatory disorder remains essentially unknown, there have been significant advances in identifying the likely genetic and environmental factors that contribute to its pathogenesis. the clinical course of the disease typically manifests with remissions...

bietti’s crystalline dystrophy (bcd) is a rare disease presenting with the appearance of intraretinal crystalline deposits and varying degrees of chorioretinal atrophy commencing at the posterior pole. within time, intraretinal crystals gradually disappear and chorioretinal atrophy extends beyond the macula even resulting in complete chorioretinal atrophy. concomitant corneal crystals can be ...

inflammatory bowel disease (ibd) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the gastrointestinal tract and includes ulcerative colitis and crohn’s disease. during last decades, the incidence of ibd   has increased, both in children as well as in adults (1–3). while the precise etiology of ibd is unknown, inflammatory bowel disease occure due to an abnormal immune response to luminal antigens i...

For a long period of time some different hypothesis have been published about arteriosclerosis but none of them has discovered the pathogenesis and effective treat­ment of this entity. By elemination of risk factors it is not clear that the disease process stops or reverses. Pre­ventiona and treatment of risk factors should start before manifestation of arteriosclerosis sympthoms. The result of...

Machine learning-based classification techniques provide support for the decision making process in the field of healthcare, especially in disease diagnosis, prognosis and screening. Healthcare datasets are voluminous in nature and their high dimensionality problem comprises in terms of slower learning rate and higher computational cost. Feature selection is expected to deal with the high dimen...
