Suicidal behaviour in frontotemporal dementia patients-a retrospective study

Automatic Small Bowel Tumor Diagnosis by Using Multi-Scale Wavelet-Based Analys...

BACKGROUND: Wireless capsule endoscopy has been introduced as an innovative, non-invasive diagnostic technique for evaluation of the gastrointestinal tract, reaching places where conventional endoscopy is unable to. However, the output of this technique is an 8 hours video, whose analysis by the expert physician is very time consuming. Thus, a computer assisted diagnosis tool to help the physicians to evaluate ...

Lactic acid production by new Lactobacillus plantarum LMISM6 grown in molasses:...

A Plackett-Burman experimental design was used to evaluate seven medium components added to molasses (corn steep liquor, sodium acetate, magnesium sulfate, manganese sulfate, ammonium citrate, potassium phosphate and Tween 80). Corn steep liquor (CSL), K2HPO4 and Tween 80 increased lactic acid production. The concentrations of these three components as well as the molasses were further optimized using the respo...

Características de carcaça de cordeiros Morada Nova alimentados com diferentes ...

Foram avaliados as características de carcaça e os rendimentos dos cortes comerciais e realizada avaliação tecidual de 20 cordeiros Morada Nova alimentados com dietas contendo fruto-refugo de melão em substituição a 0, 30, 60 ou 100% do milho moído. Os animais, com peso médio inicial de 15 kg e 6 meses de idade, foram mantidos confinados em baias individuais e abatidos com peso médio de 26 kg. Utilizou-se um de...

Breast skin-line detection using dynamic programming

In this paper, we present a novel method to extract the breast skin-line based on dynamic programming. Skin-line extraction is an important preprocessing step in CAD systems; however, it is a challenging problem due to the presence of noise, underexposed regions, which results in a low contrast area near the skin-air interface, and artifacts such as labels. Our proposal utilizes the stroma edge to constrain sea...

Multiscale texture descriptors for automatic small bowel tumors detection in ca...

Conventional endoscopic exams do not allow the entire visualization of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Push enteroscopy (PE) is an effective diagnostic and therapeutic procedure, although it only allows exploration of the proximal small bowel (Pennazio et al., 1995). Simultaneously, convetional colonoscopy is limited at the terminal ileum. Therefore, prior to the wireless capsule endoscopy era, the sma...

Composição química e digestibilidade de partes e subprodutos de aves nas formas...

Determinou-se a composição de partes da carcaça - pescoço, dorso e pés de aves -, e sua digestibilidade, usadas para cães nas formas crua e cozida. Os animais, pesados antes e depois do período experimental, foram alimentados uma vez ao dia, com livre acesso ao alimento por uma hora. Cada animal recebeu aproximadamente 50g alimento/kg de peso. As fezes, coletadas diariamente, foram pesadas e congeladas até a re...

In vitro evaluation of Clostridium septicum alpha toxoid

Aiming to investigate in vitro alternatives, a test for neutralizing antibody detection using cell culture was developed. This test was more sensitive than previous animal models, allowing for detection of substantially lower alpha toxin and anti-alpha toxin titers. Titers observed during in vivo and in vitro seroneutralization had a correlation of 99.12%, indicating that cell culture is a viable alternative in...
