Digital pathology has been clinically approved for over a decade to replace traditional methods of diagnosis. Many challenges appear when digitising the whole slide scan into high resolution images including memory and time management. Whole slide images require huge memory space if the tissue is not pre-localised for the scanner. The authors propose a set of clinically motivated features repre...

We present an intuitive and efficient method for modeling light propagation in layered isotropic anisotropic media, which we call the Iterated Ray Method. Considering a single layer sandwiched between semi-infinite layers, infinite reflected transmitted rays are summed to obtain effective Fresnel coefficients center layer. Thus, system can be represented as two layers with boundary. The model i...

INTRODUCTION The laboratory diagnosis of schistosomiasis is based mainly on the detection of parasite eggs in stool samples through the Kato-Katz (KK) technique, reading one slide by test. However, a widely known limitation of parasitological methods is reduced sensitivity, particularly in low endemic areas. METHODS To increase sensitivity, we conducted further slide readings from the same st...

a r t i c l e i n f o This work reports on the application and experimental validation, for idealized geometries, of a multiple-fluid Navier–Stokes model of waves generated by rigid and deforming slides, with the purpose of improving predictive simulations of landslide tsunamis. In such simulations, the computational domain is divided into water, air, and slide regions, all treated as Newtonian...

BACKGROUND Tuberculosis (TB), a dreadful disease known to mankind continues to be a problem in a developing country like India. The incidence of people getting infected with TB is on the rise due to compounding factors like coinfection with the human immunodefiency virus and multidrug-resistant strains. There is a definitive need for early diagnosis and treatment of TB to curb transmission of t...

The method of preparation of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) for cytological examination can significantly affect the results of cellular quantitation. Investigations have shown that cytocentrifugation leads to an underestimation of the number of lymphocytes and membrane filter preparation to an underestimation of the number of neutrophils. As a simple alternative to these two techniques, B...
