Leukocyte recognition in human fecal samples using texture features.

Journal of the Optical Society of America. A, Optics, image science, and vision
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...

[A machine learning model based on initial gut microbiome data for predicting changes of Bifidobacterium after prebiotics consumption].

Nan fang yi ke da xue xue bao = Journal of Southern Medical University
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of prebiotics supplementation for 9 days on gut microbiota structure and function and establish a machine learning model based on the initial gut microbiota data for predicting the variation of Bifidobacterium af...

Deep Learning Electronic Cleansing for Single- and Dual-Energy CT Colonography.

Radiographics : a review publication of the Radiological Society of North America, Inc
Electronic cleansing (EC) is used for computational removal of residual feces and fluid tagged with an orally administered contrast agent on CT colonographic images to improve the visibility of polyps during virtual endoscopic "fly-through" reading. ...

Ethiopian journal of health sciences
BACKGROUND: Cryptococcus neoformans is responsible of cryptococcosis, a life-threatening infection that affects healthy and immunocompromised individuals. It is the first cause of adult acute meningitis in some sub-Saharan African countries with a mo...

Molecular Evaluation of High Fluoroquinolone Resistant Genes in Endemic Cases of Shigellosis, Northeast Part of Karnataka, India.

Annals of global health
OBJECTIVES: Shigellosis is an acute infection of the intestine caused by bacteria in the genus Shigella and also an important cause of diarrhea in developing countries. This study was carried out to find the extent and nature of the emerging resistan...

HUMAN DNA QUANTIFICATION IN THE STOOLS OF PATIENTS WITH COLORECTAL CANCER.

Arquivos de gastroenterologia
BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer is one of the main cause of cancer in the world. Colonoscopy is the best screen method, however the compliance is less than 50%. Quantification of human DNA (hDNA) in the feces may be a possible screen non-invasive metho...

Automatic identification of fungi under complex microscopic fecal images.

Journal of biomedical optics
Automatic identification of fungi in microscopic fecal images provides important information for evaluating digestive diseases. To date, disease diagnosis is primarily performed by manual techniques. However, the accuracy of this approach depends on ...
