BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is convincing evidence that susceptibility to intracranial aneurysms (ICAs) has a genetic component. However, few studies have sought to identify functional variation in specific candidate genes that may predispose individuals to develop an ICA. METHODS ICA cases and controls were genotyped for a simple length polymorphism in the promoter of matrix metalloproteina...

Porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus (PEDV) causes acute and severe watery diarrhoea and dehydration, as well as 50-100 per cent mortality in piglets. For the PEDV diagnosis, a rapid test kit that is specific and sensitive to PEDV is critical to monitor this disease at pig farms. The present study aimed to develop an immunochromatographic assay (ICA) strip test for detecting PEDV in faecal swabs. T...

In this paper, a hybrid inverse distance weighted (IDW) and the imperialist competitive algorithm (ICA) was proposed for grade estimations in mining projects. Indeed, coefficients of IDW equation, power, influence were modified by applying ICA algorithm. For this, an example solved using IDW, ordinary kriging, IDW-ICA. After successfully validating IDW-ICA, iron grades estimated Baba Ali mine, ...

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate and compare the effects different dimension reduction methods (PCA, ICA, PCA + Forward Selection, ICA Selection) on K-NN classifier using open access gene expression data small round blue cell tumor types.Methods: In study, types was used for methods. PCA, Selection were as together with classification method.Results: Accuracy values obtain...

Identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) remains slow. Over the years, several new technologies have been proposed to accelerate and simplify the detection of MTC. In this context, we evaluated an immunochromatographic assay (ICA) (BIO-LINE SD Ag MPT64 TB) for rapid identification of MTC, based on detection of a specific MPT64 antigen of MTC. We have tested it on i) mycobacter...

conclusions ica with trigeminal neuralgia and local neuropathic itch is very rarely encountered in clinical practice. as it is not always diagnosed at first, some patients miss the best treatment period. therefore, we call for emphasis to be placed on early diagnosis and timely surgical treatment. introduction intramedullary cavernous angioma (ica) is a rare lesion of the spinal cord, represent...
