Leukocyte recognition in human fecal samples using texture features.

Unlike urine or blood samples with a single background, human fecal samples contain large amounts of food debris, amorphous particles, and undigested plant cells. It is difficult to segment such impurities when mixed with leukocytes. Cell degradation results in ambiguous nuclei, incompleteness of the cell membrane, and a changeable cell morphology, which are difficult to recognize. Aiming at the s...

Detecting central hypovolemia in simulated hypovolemic shock by automated feature extraction with principal component analysis.

Assessment of the volume status by blood pressure (BP) monitoring is difficult, since baroreflex control of BP makes it insensitive to blood loss up to about one liter. We hypothesized that a machine learning model recognizes the progression of central hypovolemia toward presyncope by extracting information of the noninvasive blood pressure waveform parametrized through principal component analysi...

Clinical observation of the efficacy of low-molecular-weight heparin calcium in prophylaxis of the deep venous thrombosis following the gynecological tumor surgery.

Present study is conducted to investigate the efficacy and safety of application of low-molecular-weight heparin calcium in the prophylaxis of deep ve...

Using Machine Learning-Based Multianalyte Delta Checks to Detect Wrong Blood in Tube Errors.

OBJECTIVES: An unfortunate reality of laboratory medicine is that blood specimens collected from one patient occasionally get mislabeled with identifi...

Chemical coagulation of greywater: modelling using artificial neural networks.

In the present study, chemical coagulation with alum and polyaluminium chloride (PACl) was utilized for greywater treatment. More than 140 jar tests o...

The Influence of Mechanical Rubbing on the Dissolution of Blood Clots.

Mechanical rubbing of blood clots is a potential minimally-invasive method for clearing clogged blood vessels. In this work, we investigate the influe...

D-Aspartate amends reproductive performance of aged roosters by changing gene expression and testicular histology.

Male broiler breeders (n=32) of 55 weeks of age were administered four different doses of capsulated d-aspartate (DA; 0, 100, 200 or 300mgkg-1day-1, p...

Image processing and machine learning in the morphological analysis of blood cells.

INTRODUCTION: This review focuses on how image processing and machine learning can be useful for the morphological characterization and automatic reco...

Development of a Computer-Aided Dosage and Telemonitoring System for Patients Under Oral Anticoagulation Therapy.

In this paper, we present a system that allows patients who require anticoagulation medicine an opportunity to independently manage their dosage conce...

In silico Prediction of Inhibitory Constant of Thrombin Inhibitors Using Machine Learning.

BACKGROUND: Thrombin is the central protease of the vertebrate blood coagulation cascade, which is closely related to cardiovascular diseases. The inh...
