A new nonparametric test for two sample problem based on order statistics is suggested. This test can be successful in the case of small samples. The probabilities of the statistic are given. Comparisons with KolmogorovSmirnov, Mann Whitney-Wilcoxon, and Wilks’ empty block test for small sample sizes are made by the simulation.

OBJECTIVE To examine the effects of low-to-high doses of tamoxifen on ovarian histopathology, serum VEGF, and endothelin 1 levels in ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in an experimental setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 20 female Wistar albino rats, 22 days of age, were randomly divided into four groups. Follicle-stimulating hormone 10 IU was administered subcutaneously in 15 r...

Rosette formation in 154 fresh Plasmodium falciparum isolates from Kenyan children with mild (n = 54), moderate (n = 64), or severe (n = 36) malaria was studied to determine whether the ability to form rosettes in vitro is correlated with malaria severity. There was a wide distribution of rosette frequencies within each clinical category; however, a clear trend towards higher rosette frequency ...

Invasive ductal carcinomas with a non-invasive component (IDC-DCIS) are classified as a group of invasive breast carcinomas, together with pure invasive ductal carcinomas of the breast (IDC). MicroRNA-21 (miR-21) has been characterized as a factor of breast cancer invasiveness, however the difference in miR-21 expression levels between IDCDCIS and pure IDC tumors and the correlations with stand...

An accurate and early diagnosis of the Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is of fundamental importance for the development of effective treatments to palliate the effects of the disease. Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) allows physicians to detect early stages of the disease, and functional brain images have been proved to be very useful in this task. This paper presents a new CAD system that consists of t...
