In a former publication 2 we have shown that tuberculous tissue contains an enzyme which digests protein with considerable activity in the presence of an acid medium. This enzyme is present in the tubercle at all stages of its development and disappears only after caseation has occurred. During the formation of the lesion polynuclear leucocytes are abundant and for the first weeks after inocula...

The leading cause of new blindness and vision defects in working-age people, diabetic retinopathy is a serious public health problem in developed countries. Automatic identification of diabetic retinopathy lesions, such as exudates, in fundus images can contribute to early diagnosis. Currently, many studies in the literature have reported on segmenting exudates, but none of the methods performs...

The phytochemical contents and medicinal values of Dacroydes edulis and Raphia hookeri exudates were investigated. Phytochemical screening of the plant showed that they contain the presence of bioactive compounds comprising saponins (2.08-3.98 mg 100 g(-1)), alkaloids (0.28-0.49 mg 100 g(-1)), tannins (0.47-0.72 mg 100 g(-1)), flavonoids (0.26-0.39 mg 100 g(-1)), and phenolic compounds (0.01-0....

Enterobacter cloacae A-11 is a transposon mutant of strain 501R3 that was deficient in cucumber spermosphere colonization and in the utilization of certain carbohydrates (D. P. Roberts, C. J. Sheets, and J. S. Hartung, Can. J. Microbiol. 38:1128-1134, 1992). In vitro growth of strain A-11 was reduced or deficient on most carbohydrates that supported growth of strain 501R3 but was unaffected on ...

Retinal exudates are typically manifested as spatially random yellow/white patches of varying sizes and shapes. They are a characteristic feature of retinal diseases such as diabetic maculopathy. An automatic method for the detection of exudate regions is introduced comprising image colour normalisation, enhancing the contrast between the objects and background, segmenting the colour retinal im...

In the world, Diabetic Retinopathy is the leading cause of vision loss. Early symptoms of this disease are exudates, so early diagnosis and treatment at right time is very important to prevent blindness. In this paper the Active contour model (ACM) is implemented to detect exudates and it is used to obtain accurate borders of lesions, and then the local features of detected exudates are extract...

Diabetic Retinopathy caused by leakage of blood or fluid from the retinal blood vessels and it will damage the retina. Yellow flecks are called hard exudates. Exudates are the lipid residues of serous leakage from damaged capillaries. Design new wavelet filter for extraction of exudates using fundus images. This algorithm is tested on online databases such as, STARE, DRIVE, Diarect DB0, Diarect...

During a survey of methylotrophic yeasts in natural habitats in Hungary, the yeast community associated with the exudates of white poplar (Populus alba) was found to be unique among the tree exudates hitherto investigated. Nineteen methanol-assimilating yeast strains representing an undescribed ascomycetous species were isolated from tree exudates of P. alba collected at different locations in ...

We report optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in a 48 years old man with Leber’s idiopathic stellate neuroretinitis. Ophthalmoscopy of the right eye revealed serous retinal detachment (SRD) and marked hard exudates in the papillomacular region. Imaging with OCT revealed an accumulation of fluid in the outer nuclear layer (ONL), the outer plexiform layer (OPL) and the inner nuclear layer...
