cisplatin is a common chemotherapeutic agent that used for treatment of many solid cancers. rapid identification of chemotherapy resistance is very important and may lead to effective treatment plan. spectroscopy techniques, such as infrared spectroscopy, which are sensitive to biochemical composition of samples, have shown potentials to discriminate tissues. developing in fourier transform inf...

This paper proposes a method to simplify a computational model from logistic regression for clinical use without computer. The model was built using human interpreted featrues including some BI-RADS standardized features for diagnosing the malignant masses. It was compared with the diagnosis using only assessment categorization from BI-RADS. The research aims at assisting radiologists to diagno...

Breast cancer is leading cause of death among female cancer patient. However the early detection of breast cancer is dependent on both radiologist’s ability to read mammograms and the quality of mammograms images. Mammography is the effective technique for the screening of breast cancer and abnormalities detection. Screening is one of the key factor to reduce the death rates. The strong correla...

Lung cancer is one of the most serious health problems in the world. Lung Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) is a potential method to accomplish a range of quantitative tasks such as early cancer and disease detection, analysis of disease progression. The basic goal of CAD is to provide a computer output as a second opinion to assist medical image interpretation by improving accuracy, consistency o...

Abstract The heterogeneity in extracellular vesicles (EVs) introduces an extra level of complexity small EV‐based liquid biopsy for cancer diagnosis. Surface plasmon resonance microscopy (SPRM) offers sensitive and multifunctional analysis single tiny EVs. However, the EV SPRM image has been extremely laborious time‐consuming due to low contrast bad signal‐to‐noise ratio. Herein, we present a d...

In an increasingly competitive marketplace system complexity continues to grow, but time-to-market and lifecycle are reducing. The purpose of fault diagnosis is the isolation of faults on defective systems, a task requiring a high skill set. This has driven the need for automated diagnostic tools. Over the last two decades, automated diagnosis has been an active research area, but the industria...

background : the aim of this study was to explore saudi cancer patients' views regarding cancer information disclosure and whether differences existed between regions or gender. methods : in this cross-sectional questionnaire-based prospective survey, we interviewed 332 saudi cancer patients who received oncological care at king fahd university hospital, al-khobar, saudi arabia from july 2002 t...

This paper describes a tool to diagnose network performance problems commonly affecting TCP-based applications. The tool, pathdiag, runs under a web server framework to provide non-expert network users with one-click diagnostic testing, tuning support and repair instructions. It diagnoses many causes of poor network performance using Web100 statistics and TCP performance models to overcome the ...

background : stage at diagnosis is one of the most important prognostic factors for most of the cancers like breast cancer. studies have found that the rate of late-stage diagnosis of breast cancer among women with lower socioeconomic status is more than the others. the aim of this study was investigating the relationship between family levels of socioeconomic status and stage at diagnosis of b...
