Diagnosis is essential for the management and treatment of patients with rare diseases. In a group patients, genetic study identifies variants uncertain significance or inconsistent phenotype; therefore, it urgent to develop novel strategies reach definitive diagnosis. Herein, we in-house Translational Diagnostics Program (TDP) validate as part diagnostic process close collaboration physicians,...

in this paper, a new method is introduced for sperm detection in microscopic images for infertility treatment. in this method, firstly a hypothesis testing function is defined to separate sperms from plasma, non-sperm semen particles and noise. then, some primary candidates are selected for sperms by watershed-based segmentation algorithm. finally, candidates are either confirmed or rejected us...

today’s, a common problem in cities is increasing delay and reducing the speed of traffic. on the other wise increasing costs of acquisition in urban area are not allow new routes and highways. also construction of new highway or street such as imam ali highway and sadr highway in tehran lead to develop new applications (such as brt lane ,…) and become quickly saturate and less efficient. there...

introduction automated methods for sperm characterization in microscopic videos have some limitations such as: low contrast of the video frames and possibility of neighboring sperms to touch each other. in this paper a new method is introduced for detection of sperms in microscopic videos. materials and methods in this work, first microscopic videos are captured from specimens of human semen. s...

Plasmodium falciparum infections are frequently fatal if untreated and hence need to be diagnosed and treated early. Malaria diagnosis, with conventional Giemsa staining as a gold standard, has had several limitations. New rapid and accurate methods are needed for diagnosis. In this study, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis specific for diagnosis of P. falciparum was evaluated. For the st...
