In this paper, utilization of clustering algorithms for data fusion in decision level is proposed. The results of automatic isolated word recognition, which are derived from speech spectrograph and Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) analysis, are combined with each other by using fuzzy clustering algorithms, especially fuzzy k-means and fuzzy vector quantization. Experimental results show that the ...

e17623 Background: Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most prevalent gynecologic tumors. Current diagnosis and treatment EC no longer rely solely on traditional histopathological classification. Nevertheless, molecular classification demonstrated clear prognostic value may guide clinical decision. Methods: In this study, archived tissue specimens from 240 patients Department Pathology, Pekin...

Objective: To run a comparison between specificity, sensitivity, PPV (positive predictive value) (PPV) & NPV (negative of the three varied H. pylori detection methods used in study. Materials and Methods: It is retrospective descriptive study that was carried out at Histopathology wing Pathology Department, Sahiwal Medical College, Sahiwal. comprised entire cases gastritis which were histop...

AIMS To evaluate in detail the extent to which step sectioning and immunohistochemical examination of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) in patients with melanoma reveal additional node positive patients, to arrive at a sensitive yet workable protocol for histopathological SLN examination. METHODS The study comprised 29 patients with one or more positive SLN after a successful SLN procedure for clin...

AIMS To evaluate in detail the extent to which step sectioning and immunohistochemical examination of sentinel lymph nodes (SNs) in patients with breast cancer reveal additional node positive patients, to arrive at a sensitive yet workable protocol for histopathological SN examination. METHODS This study comprised 86 women with one or more positive SN after a successful SN procedure for clini...

INTRODUCTION Several studies evaluated the prevalence of Lynch Syndrome (LS) in young onset colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and the results were extremely variable (5%-20%). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) for MMR proteins and/or MSI analysis are screening tests that are done, either by themselves or in conjunction, on colon cancer tissue to identify individuals at risk for LS. The primary aim of o...

Introduction: Prostate cancer is a multifaceted disease comprises distinct biological subtypes with varied spectrum of clinical, pathologic and molecular features with different prognostic and therapeutic implications. Over the last few decades there have been outstanding advances in prostate cancer management leading to earlier detection of disease. Prostatic cancer diagnosis is based on a com...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the importance of Lynch syndrome associated risk screening in the patients aged less than 50 years affected from endometrial cancer. METHODS From 2007 to 2014, 41 patients affected from endometrial cancer and aged less than 50 years underwent surgery at the Complex Operative Unit of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Cannizzaro Hospital of Catania, Italy. They were selected to u...

BackgroundHER2 is an important predictive biomarker of HER2-targeted therapies for breast cancer. Reliable HER2 testing essential clinical practice, but immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining results are susceptible to considerable interobserver variations.MethodsWhole-slide images (WSI) pretreatment IHC- and H&E-stained slides, clinicopathological data were obtained from stage I – III, HER2-posit...

Three strains of facultatively anaerobic thermotolerant and moderately halophilic bacteria were isolated from two Jordanian hot spring locations. The novel Bacillus strains were short rods, Gram-positive, motile and spore formers. The strains were capable of anaerobic (but not aerobic) growth at 63C, moderately halophilic, able to grow at NaCl concentration range of 12 15 % and at temperatures ...
