Osteoporosis is diagnosed by measuring bone mineral density (BMD, g cm−2), a measure of the amount of mineral in a bone. Although BMD continues to serve well it does not fully account for bone strength and only partially accounts for the risk of hip fracture. The shape and structure of the proximal femur also helps to determine how forces act in the hip in a fall and their measurement can aid the prediction of hip fracture. In this study, the geometrical variables of the right proximal femur in a total number of fifty Indian women were measured from digital x-ray images, and these results were compared with BMD values of the proximal femur measured by Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for same set of women, as a standard. Results obtained by this proposed approach explored how they were related with BMD and anthropometric factors such as body-height, and body-weight. In this study, it was found that 34% and 20% of the study Indian women were found to have osteoporosis and osteopenia respectively. The mean values of thickness of the medial shaft cortex (SC) as well as lesser trochanter thickness of the medial cortex (NC) and width of the acetabular bone (AW) were lesser in the osteoporotic Indian women than in normal Indian women. These values were found to be decreased by −21%, −11%, and −18% respectively, when comparing to normal Indian women. Simple radiograph hip geometry measurements are useful in the evaluation of osteoporosis.","PeriodicalId":297136,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Systems in Medicine and Biology","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133167616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Microarray technologies have become a central tool in biological research. The extraction or identification of gene groups with similar expression pattern, plays an important role in the analysis of genes. The primary techniques involve clustering and biclustering methods. Besides classical clustering methods, biclustering is being preferred to analyze biological datasets, due to its ability to group both genes across conditions simultaneously. Biclustering is being practiced in a number of applications to club genes across specified conditions, used mainly in identifying sets of coregulated genes, tissue classification etc. Gene Ontology is another important area of application, where biclusters are used to presume the class of non-annotated genes. Gene Ontology database is competent of annotating and analyzing a large number of genes. Gene Ontology is a standard approach of representing the gene with their product attributes, across different species and databases. Typical annotations for the analyzed list of genes can be well understood using the BicAT and BiVisu toolbox. The toolbox provides a platform which enables us to compare different biclustering algorithms, inside the graphical tool. This paper compares different biclustering approaches used to analyze carcinoma and DLBCL (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma) microarray datasets. The algorithms were compared on the grounds of enrichment values with support from runtime analysis. The paper explains in detail the biclusters associated with each algorithm and the intellects affecting the enrichment values, leading to the best biclustering technique for the datasets mentioned above.","PeriodicalId":297136,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Systems in Medicine and Biology","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131676645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Diagnostic confusion is also posed due to imitation of similar signs by other disorders. Careful microscopic examination of stained blood smear or bone marrow aspirate is the only way to effective diagnosis of leukemia. Techniques such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), immunophenotyping, cytogenetic analysis and cytochemistry are also employed for specific leukemia detection. The need for automation of leukemia detection arises since the above specific tests are time consuming and costly. Morphological analysis of blood slides are influenced by factors such as hematologists experience and tiredness, resulting in non standardized reports. A low cost and efficient solution is to use image analysis for quantitative examination of stained blood microscopic images for leukemia detection. A two stage color segmentation strategy is employed for segregating leukocytes or white blood cells (WBC) from other blood components. Discriminative features i.e. nucleus shape, texture are used for final detection of leukemia. In the present paper two novel shape features i.e., hausdorff dimension and contour signature is implemented for classifying a lymphocytic cell nucleus. Support Vector Machine (SVM) is employed for classification. A total of 108 blood smear images were considered for feature extraction and final performance evaluation is validated with the results of a hematologist.","PeriodicalId":297136,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Systems in Medicine and Biology","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124036247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dispersion was homogenized at 60°C in a high pressure valve homogenizer at a pressure of 5000/500psi for different time periods (2, 5 or 10 min). The homogenized samples were formed into films at 5oC followed by crosslinking with genipin at room temperature. The microstructure of the gels was studied using confocal laser scanning microscopy. The results showed significant differences in the microstructure depending on homogenization time. Gel micrographs indicated a well-dispersed network of sunflower oil droplets in the gelatin matrix with a higher homogenization duration (10 min) while a less unorganized gel microstructure was evident at shorter homogenization times (2 and 5 min). Gels were also characterized using colourimetric analysis. Puncture tests of the gels were tested to establish their mechanical stability. The gels prepared with 10 min homogenization exhibited the highest puncture strength (0.23±0.20 MPa) (p<0.05). These results demonstrated that gelatin gels homogenized for longer periods were more stable, thus expanding their range of possible biomedical applications.","PeriodicalId":297136,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Systems in Medicine and Biology","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124726212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A previously developed nonlinear model of blood pressure regulation is linearized about its equilibrium point. Instead of any traditional fixed parameter approach this linearized version utilizes multiple model approach. Fractional adjustments have been made in the parameters of the basal transfer function or state model of the seventh order system to fit with the nonlinear system data. A detailed sensitivity study has been performed on the basal linear model to identify the tuning parameters, their basal values and the realistic bounds. Traditional least square estimation technique has been used for parameter identification. Thus a set of approximate linear models have been developed under various physiological conditions. By combining these linear models spanning in the range of expected operation of the nonlinear system, the actual behavior can be approached. The dynamic responses of the tuned models under various conditions such as aldosterone loading are closely matching to those of the actual nonlinear model. The eigen value study of the linearized model shows that the model is stable under normal conditions. Thus the proposed frame work for the parameter tuning will be useful for the nonlinear physiological model to get a better structural analysis using the well known linear system techniques.","PeriodicalId":297136,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Systems in Medicine and Biology","volume":"8 10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130355565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Expression of endometrial receptivity markers including αvβ3 integrin and Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) and pinopodes in women with RSM is explored. Design: Endometrial tissue samples were collected from 16 women with idiopathic RSM (age<35 years) during the mid-secretory phase (D21) of the menstrual cycle from the Institute of Reproductive Medicine, Salt lake, Kolkata, West Bengal, India. 12 normal women having partners with male factor infertility were taken as controls. Only those women who did not receive any kind of medication and had no known causes of miscarriage or other gynecological disorders were included in this study. Materials and Methods: The collected tissue was divided into three parts: one part was used for stromal and epithelial cells isolation for flow cytometric analysis of the biochemical markers, the other part was fixed for immunohistological staining. The third part was also fixed and examined for pinopodes using SEM. Data were compared using independent two sample ‘t’ test and chi-square test, as applicable. Statistical significance was defined as p ≤0.05. Results: Expression of αvβ3 integrin, LIF and pinopodes were observed to be significantly less, both in stromal and epithelial cells of the endometrium in women with RSM when compared with controls. Conclusions: Poor expression of the molecular mediators, αvβ3 integrin and LIF in women with RSM correlates well with poor endometrial receptivity. In view of the fact that pinopodes are essential for successful embryo implantation, it is suggested that morphologically abnormal pinopodes in RSM is possibly one of the main causes adversely affecting implantation of the embryo.","PeriodicalId":297136,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Systems in Medicine and Biology","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115227877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
