Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) has been witnessing a massive growth for its various applications in different fields. It is category of or Deep learning that being used text detection, image classification, etc. also very effective the classifications which are non-image like audio classifications, signal data CNN composed convolutional layer, pooling layer and finally fully connected layer...

Probiotics are known to reduce antibiotic associated diarrhea (AAD) and Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) risk in a strain-specific manner. The aim of this study was to determine the dose-response effect of a four strain probiotic combination (HOWARU(®) Restore) on the incidence of AAD and CDAD and severity of gastrointestinal symptoms in adult in-patients requiring antibiotic th...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although the clinical manifestations of and risk factors for Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) have been extensively investigated in western populations, data from Taiwanese patients are comparatively limited. This study investigated the incidence density of CDAD in Taiwanese patients and also the risk factors and clinical manifestations of CDAD. METHODS ...

BACKGROUND Inflammation and thrombosis are associated with development and progression of acute aortic dissection (AAD). The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic significance of Simplified Thrombo-Inflammatory Prognostic Score (sTIPS), in patients with early phase type B AAD. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 491 patients with type B AAD between November 2012 and September 2015. s...

AIM Although catheter ablation (CA) has replaced antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD) as first-line treatment in selected patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), optimal treatment of recurrent atrial tachycardia (AT) after AF ablation remains unclear. This parallel randomized controlled study compared CA vs. AAD for recurrent AT after persistent AF ablation. METHODS AND RESULTS Two-hundred and one pati...

ATR activation is dependent on temporal and spatial interactions with partner proteins. In the budding yeast model, three proteins - Dpb11(TopBP1), Ddc1(Rad9) and Dna2 - all interact with and activate Mec1(ATR). Each contains an ATR activation domain (ADD) that interacts directly with the Mec1(ATR):Ddc2(ATRIP) complex. Any of the Dpb11(TopBP1), Ddc1(Rad9) or Dna2 ADDs is sufficient to activate ...

We designed a retrospective cohort study to assess sex-related differences in clinical manifestations, incidence, and outcomes of patients with symptomatic acute aortic dissection (AAD). We collected clinical data from 2010 to 2015 of 400 patients with AAD. Patients' clinical characteristics, treatment, and outcomes were analyzed as a function of sex. Among 400 patients with AAD, the ratio of m...

Clostridium perfringens type A isolates producing enterotoxin (CPE) are an important cause of food poisoning and non-food-borne human gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, including antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD). Recent studies suggest that C. perfringens type A food poisoning is caused by C. perfringens isolates carrying a chromosomal cpe gene, while CPE-associated non-food-borne GI diseases,...

Whilst nebulisers are commonly used in the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF), nebulised aerosol lung deposition in individual patients is not routinely assessed in clinical practice. The present study was designed to evaluate whether a comparative measurement of aerosol lung deposition from nebulisers using a widely available scintigraphic method could be employed to assist the selection of the...

An Unattended Wireless Sensor Network (UWSN) can be used in many applications to collect valuable data. Nevertheless, due to the unattended nature, the sensors could be compromised and the sensor readings would be maliciously altered so that the sink accepts the falsified sensor readings. Unfortunately, few attentions have been given to this authentication problem. Moreover, existing methods su...
