The system is designed as one element of an integrated, computer-based method for plant enhancement, for application in the mineral processing industry. The relationship between expert and conventional software techniques is discussed. The system is based on prod uc tion rule s and has been wri tten in the PROLOGla...

BackgroundIn 2017, the Dutch cervical cancer screening program had replaced primary cytology-based with high-risk human papillomavirus-based screening, including opportunity to participate through self-sampling. Evaluation and balancing benefit (detection of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia) burden (unnecessary referrals, invasive diagnostics, overtreatment) is needed.ObjectiveThis study ai...

Molecular diagnostics are becoming increasingly important in clinical research to stratify or identify molecularly profiled patient cohorts for targeted therapies, to modify the dose of a therapeutic, and to assess early response to therapy or monitor patients. Molecular diagnostics can also be used to identify the pharmacogenetic risk of adverse drug reactions. The articles in this CCR Focus s...

Aptamers, single-stranded oligonucleotides, are an important class of molecular targeting ligand. Since their discovery, aptamers have been rapidly translated into clinical practice. They have been approved as therapeutics and molecular diagnostics. Aptamers also possess several properties that make them uniquely suited to molecular imaging. This review aims to provide an overview of aptamers' ...
