Introduction: Utilizing lower limit of bone marrow plasma cells (BMPCs) is the main existing criterion for diagnosis of multiple myeloma (MM). According to the revised international myeloma working group (IMWG) diagnostic criteria, the value of 10% is agreed among experts as the cutoff level for diagnosis. Symptomatic patients with BMPC above this value are identified as definite cases of MM. H...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW We are witnessing lightning-fast advances in the molecular diagnosis of inherited retinal dystrophies, mainly due to the widespread use of next-generation sequencing technologies. The purpose of this review is to highlight the breadth of findings from this in-depth testing approach, and to propose changes to our traditional testing and diagnostic paradigms. Lessons learned fro...

Echinococcus granulosus (E. granulosus) and Echinococcus multilocularis (E. multilocularis) infections are the most common parasitic diseases that affect the liver. The disease course is typically slow and the patients tend to remain asymptomatic for many years. Often the diagnosis is incidental. Right upper quadrant abdominal pain, hepatitis, cholangitis, and anaphylaxis due to dissemination o...

the diagnosis of celiac disease (cd) relies on the concordance of pathological, serological, genetic and clinical features. for this reason, the diagnosis of cd is often a challenge. seronegative celiac disease (sncd) is defined by the negativity of anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies in the presence of a positive histology on duodenal biopsy samples, i. e. inflammatory infiltrate of intra-...

Abstract In order to solve the problem of AGV fault detection system’s complexion and low accuracy, a convolutional neural network (CNN) based on status monitoring diagnosis method for automatic guided vehicle (AGV) is proposed. Firstly, vibration signals core components are converted into two-dimensional (2D) images. Secondly, 2D images input convolution training. Finally, trained model used m...

Species of Sarcocystis are Apicomplexan parasites requiring intermediate and definitive hosts to complete their life cycle. Humans are one of many natural host species and may serve as both intermediate and definitive hosts. However, the extent and public health significance of human Sarcocystis infection are incompletely known. In this minireview, we provide an update on the epidemiology and d...

By John Lindenbaum W HAT WAS ONCE relatively straightforward, seems lately to have become more confusing. In the past decade, new opportunities and new problems in the diagnostic approach to the patient with a possible megaboblastic anemia have appeared with the development and nearly ubiquitous use of new technobogies-electronic determination of the mean corpuscubar volume (MCV) and an apparen...

objective: to identify the proportion and some selected characteristics of juvenile diabetics attending birdem hospital. materials and methods: this was a cross sectional study. the study was conducted in the birdem hospital. all diabetic young aged up to 18 years who visit birdem hospital were included in study population. the sample size was 240. results: it was observed that among the respon...
