Identification and Counting White Blood Cells and Red Blood Cells using Image Processing Case Study of Leukemia [PDF]
Leukemia is diagnosed with complete blood counts which is by calculating all blood cells and compare the number of white blood cells (White Blood Cells / WBC) and red blood cells (Red Blood Cells / RBC). Information obtained from a complete blood count, has become a cornerstone in the hematology laboratory for diagnostic purposes and monitoring of ...

Blastoschizomyces capitatus pneumonia in a patient with untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Several cases have been reported of B. capitatus infections in immunocompromised patients. Acute leukemia is the main predisposing factor. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is not usually associated with opportunistic infections.

Machine Learning Approaches to Automated Flow Cytometry Diagnosis of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia [PDF]
Flow cytometry is a technique that measures multiple fluorescence and light scatter-associated parameters from individual cells as they flow a single file through an excitation light source. These cells are labeled with antibodies to detect various antigens and the fluorescence signals reflect antigen expression.

ODE and Random Boolean networks in application to modelling of 6-mercaptopurine metabolism [PDF]
We consider two approaches to modelling of cell metabolism of 6-mercaptopurine, which is one of the important chemotherapy drugs used for treating of acute lymphocytic leukemia: kinetic ordinary differential equations and random Boolean networks, and analyse their interplay with respect to taking into account ATP concentration as a key parameter of ...

Hierarchy in Gene Expression is Predictive for Adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia [PDF]
Cancer progresses with a change in the structure of the gene network in normal cells. We define a measure of organizational hierarchy in gene networks of affected cells in adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. With a retrospective cohort analysis based on the gene expression profiles of 116 acute myeloid leukemia patients, we find that the ...
