Efficient algorithm for Brain Tumor Segmentation with minimal user interaction

— Manual segmentation of brain tumor by doctors is a time consuming task. Therefore, several automatic segmentation algorithms have been developed. Major problem in brain tumor segmentation is to detect the presence of tumors in MR images of the brain and to segment the abnormal pixels from normal pixels. In this paper, the objective is to provide a quick and efficient algorithm for segmentation of solid brain tumors with minimal user interaction to help clinicians and researchers in radiosurgery planning and assessment of the response to the radiotherapy. For this purpose, Cellular Automata(CA) algorithm is presented to effort the initial seed selection and Region of interest(ROI). First, Shortest path problem is solved by combining graph based approach with cellular Automata approach for segmentation. CA algorithm consists of local transition rules which has to be altered in order to find the absolute solution for shortest path problem. For handling the heterogeneous tumor types, a spatially-varying parameter is used and to provide smoothness, a level-set surface is applied over the tumor probability map obtained from CA Transition states. Further, Necrotic region is distinguished from enhanced tumor content with the help of re-examined CA algorithm which can be performed by proper selection of transition rule. Performance comparison is carried out by a measure called Dice Overlap with respect to its sensitivity, robustness and efficiency.

The long-acting b2-agonist salmeterol xinafoate: effects on airway inflammation in asthma

The long-acting b2-agonist salmeterol xinafoate: effects on airway inflammation in asthma. J.A. Roberts, P. Bradding, K.M. Britten, A.F. Walls, S. Wilson, C. Gratziou, S.T. Holgate, P.H. Howarth. #ERS Journals Ltd 1999. ABSTRACT: Salmeterol xinafoate is an inhaled long-acting b2-adrenoceptor agonist recently introduced for the treatment of asthma. Both in vitro and animal studies suggest that it may have anti-inflammatory activities of benefit in this disease. To assess this directly, the effects of 6 weeks' treatment with salmeterol on indices of clinical activity, airway dysfunction and inflammation in subjects with stable atopic asthma were investigated. In a double blind study, asthmatic patients were randomized to 6 weeks' treatment with either salmeterol 50 mg twice daily (n=14) or placebo (n=12). They underwent bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and bronchial biopsy immediately before starting treatment and again after 6 weeks. Treatment with salmeterol improved clinical indices of asthma activity, but there were no changes in BAL differential cell counts or mediator levels, and no change in Tcell numbers or activation status. In the biopsy specimens there were no changes in numbers of inflammatory cells, sub-basement membrane collagen deposition or mast cell degranulation. Regular treatment with salmeterol improves clinical indices of asthma but has no effect on the underlying inflammatory process. These findings strengthen guideline recommendations that long-acting b2-agonists should not be prescribed as sole antiasthma medication. Eur Respir J 1999; 14: 275±282.

The Effect of Musical Training on Temporal Fine Structure Abilities of Normal Hearing Children

Introduction & Aim: The effect of music on different aspects of cognition & perception, especially language abilities and speech in noise recognition, has been attended by different researchers. In this present study the effect of musical training on temporal fine structure ability was investigated in normal hearing children (8-12 years). Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional analytic study was performed on 50 normal hearing children (8-12 years) divided to with musical training and without musical training groups. After routine audiologic evaluation, temporal fine structure was performed by means of TFS-LF test. Results: Significant difference was observed in temporal fine structure processing results at all tested frequencies (250,500,750 HZ), (P< 0.001). The musically trained children had better thresholds at all 3 frequencies in TFS-LF. There was no significant difference between male and female students. Conclusion: The temporal fine structure processing ability was better in children who received musical training. As these children showed better speech understanding in noise in another studies temporal fine structure improving might be related to better speech in noise performance in musically trained students.

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the phytochemical constituents, renal and hypoglycaemic effects of the ethanolic extract of the fruits of Eriobotrya japonica, commonly called as Loquat in Kashmir. The renal effects were determined by estimating the kidney function tests i.e., serum urea levels, serum creatinine levels, serum total proteins and serum albumin levels. The hypoglycaemic effects were determined by estimating blood glucose levels. The effects were compared with the normal control swiss albino mice. Histopathology of kidney was also done. The results showed significant hypoglycaemic effects and variable renal biochemical effects. The histopathology of kidney did not show any toxic signs.
MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF TRUNK MUSCLE GROUPS IN JAPANESE FEMALE ELITE JUDO ATHLETES

Using three-dimensional (3 D) imaging, we investigated the morphological characteristics of the M, latissiums dorsi (LD) and M, erector spinae (ES) of the dorsal trunk in judo athletes employing a computer graphics system on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The subjects were five healthy untrained women (HUW) without lower back pain syndrome, and five Japanese female elite judo athletes (EJA). There was no significant difference in height or weight between the HUW and EJA. Three-dimensional imaging of the LD and ES was reconstructed visually, based on MRI consecutive slice data taken from the first thoracic vertebra to the symphysis pubis along the trunk. Then the volume of the LD and ES was determined using a surface reconstruction algorithm. The morphological characteristics of the LD in the EJA appeared to indicate enlargment compared with those in the HUW, whereas the characteristics of the ES in both groups were similar. The volume of the LD was significantly different between the HUW (226.6•}33.18 ml) and EJA(438.1•}107.8 ml), whereas that of the ES showed no difference (HUW; 257.4•}78.8 ml, EJA ; 284.0•}74.82 ml). In the EJA, but not in the HUW, there was a significant positive correlation between the volume of the LD and weight, and differences were noted between the two regression slopes. There was also a positive correlation between the volume of the ES and weight in both the HUW and EJA, which showed the same simple linear regression slope. These results suggest that the muscle hypertrophy evident in the LD, but not in the ES, is related to the effects of Judo training. (Jpn. J. Phys.

REALISTIC DEFORMATION AND REMOVAL OF SOFT TISSUES MODELING FOR THE SIMULATION OF VIRTUAL SURGERY

: Most of the simulation methods for soft tissue modeling involve tetrahedral meshes which is quite complex and takes much computation time. Instead, this work attempts to make use of delaunay triangulated mesh that consists of unique mathematical properties suited for simulating soft tissues. Although, triangulated mesh is not so complex yet effective in producing elements of good quality. It even reduces computation time compared to the tetrahedral mesh by providing more geometric flexibility. In virtual surgery, it is essential to model the layers of soft tissues of human skin to perform a simulation of deformation and removal of cells. Based on this the multilayered model of skin prototype is developed in a pre-process and used for interactive modeling. This work presents a simple method for performing real-time collision detection in a virtual surgery environment. Also shows the efficient computation of collisions between the scalpel and delaunay triangulated mesh using a local collision detection function. The framework incorporates qualitative results obtained towards the simulation of surgical deformation and removal of soft tissues using appropriate algorithms. It also uses real-time texture mapping to enhance the visual realism.

Review of Cardiovascular Disease in Diabetic Patients using Data Mining Techniques

: Data mining is the process of finding useful and relevant information from the databases. There are several types of mining techniques available and applicable magnificently on various sectors. Data mining process may take important role in Health care sector. The healthcare sector assembles enormous quantity of medical data which cannot extract to uncover hidden information for making effective decision. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition that occurs when the body cannot produce enough or effectively use of insulin. Patients with diabetes mellitus have a considerably higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Most of this excess risk is associated with an augmented prevalence of well-known risk factors such as hypertension, hyperglycemi and obesity in these patients. Individuals with insulin resistance or diabetes in combination with one or more of these risk factors are at even greater risk of heart disease. Prediction of heart disease in diabetic patient is a challenging task. In this paper, we present a review of the research work being carried out using different data mining techniques to enhance diagnosis and prediction of heart disease in diabetic patient.
