The clinicopathological conference, popularly known as CPC primarily relies on case method of teaching medicine. It is a teaching tool that illustrates the logical, measured consideration of a differential diagnosis used to evaluate patients.

several mri contrast agents (cas) are used in medical diagnosis that gadolinium (gd3+) is the most widely used as contrast agents. unfortunately, its toxicity is due to its inefficiency. in this review, we discuss about the ability of spions in mri and application in multiple sclerosis diagnosis. superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (spions) such as magnetite nanoparticles are used as goo...

AbstractThis paper defines an intelligent decision support system for diagnostics for typhoid fever. Typhoid fever has numerous variables involved in identification of the disease. These variable are transformed into membership functions and passed onto the Fuzzy Logic System. The fuzzy logic System consists of the following stages fuzzification which converts the crisp data into variable data,...
