Eye disease is a major health problem among the elderly people. Cataract and corneal arcus are the major abnormalities that exist in the anterior segment eye region of aged people. Hence, computer-aided diagnosis of anterior segment eye abnormalities...
Exosomes are extracellular nanovesicles released from any cells and found in any body fluid. Because exosomes exhibit information of their host cells (secreting cells), their analysis is expected to be a powerful tool for early diagnosis of cancers. ...

BACKGROUND: In the time since the launch of a nationwide general health check-up and instruction program in Japan in 2008, interest in the formulation of an effective and efficient strategy to improve the participation rate has been growing. The aim ...
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is an eye abnormality caused by long-term diabetes and it is the most common cause of blindness before the age of 50. Microaneurysms (MAs), resulting from leakage from retinal blood vessels, are early indicators of DR. In th...
In recent years, machine learning approaches have been successfully applied to the field of neuroimaging for classification and regression tasks. However, many approaches do not give an intuitive relation between the raw features and the diagnosis. T...
