African Trypanosomiasis Detection using Dempster-Shafer Theory [PDF]

International Journal of Emerging Trends in Computing and Information Sciences, Vol. 3, No. 4, 2012, pp. 480 - 487, 2012
World Health Organization reports that African Trypanosomiasis affects mostly poor populations living in remote rural areas of Africa that can be fatal if properly not treated. This paper presents Dempster-Shafer Theory for the detection of African trypanosomiasis.

Anatomy of the vertebral column lymphatic network in mice [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Cranial lymphatic vessels (LVs) are involved in transport of fluids, macromolecules and CNS immune responses. Little information about spinal LVs is available, because these delicate structures are embedded within vertebral tissues and difficult to visualize using traditional histology. Here we reveal an extended vertebral column LV network using three-

Flow cytometry to assess the counts and physiological state of Cronobacter sakazakii cells after heat exposure [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Cronobacter sakazakii is an opportunistic pathogen associated with outbreaks of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis, septicemia, and meningitis. Reconstituted powdered infant formulae (PIF) is the most common vehicle of infection. Plate count methods do not provide direct information on the physiological status of cells.

Graph Classification and Radiomics Signature for Identification of Tuberculous Meningitis [PDF]

arXiv
Introduction: Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is a serious brain infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, characterized by inflammation of the meninges covering the brain and spinal cord. Diagnosis often requires invasive lumbar puncture (LP) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis.
