Phenylketonuria (PKU) is the most common autosomal recessive disorder of amino acid metabolism. Thedisease is caused mainly by mutations in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene, encoding phenylalaninehydroxylase (PAH) enzyme. The PAH enzyme deficiency results in the elevation of phenylalanine inthe blood, which may cause severe irreversible mental retardation in the affect...

background: hemodialysis patients are at greater risk of cardiovascular disease. higher than expected cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in this population has been attributed to dislipidemia as well as inflammation. the causes of inflammation in hemodialysis patients are multifactorial. several markers were used for the detection of inflammatory reaction in patients with chronic renal dise...

high processing loads, need for complicated and frequent updating, and high false alarm are some of the challenges in designing anomaly detection and misuse detection systems. we propose a new network-based intrusion detection system (ids) that resolves such shortcomings. our scheme fuses anomaly detection and misuse detection systems, which has not been utilized so far in existing systems. in ...

human cytomegalovirus (hcmv, cmv) is a major infectious complication of renal transplantation. the objective of this survey was to optimize and establish a polymerase chain reaction (pcr) technique for rapid and early detection of cmv disease in renal transplant recipients. in a cross sectional study, a total of eighty-one edta-blood samples were collected as simple nonrandomized (sequential) w...

most of the contour detection methods suffers from some drawbacks such as noise, occlusion of objects, shifting, scaling and rotation of objects in image which they suppress the recognition accuracy. to solve the problem, this paper utilizes zernike moment (zm) and pseudo zernike moment (pzm) to extract object contour features in all situations such as rotation, scaling and shifting of object i...
