AIMS: Recently, it was suggested that betatrophin has a role in controlling pancreatic β cell proliferation and lipid metabolism, however, its role in human subjects has not been established yet. The predicting role of betatrophin and MDA along with ...
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate and classify wheeze sounds of asthmatic patients according to their severity level (mild, moderate and severe) using spectral integrated (SI) features.
Nonmass-like enhancements are a common but diagnostically challenging finding in breast MRI. Nonmass-like lesions can be described as clusters of spatially and temporally inter-connected regions of enhancements, so they can be modeled as networks and...
