A disease evolution model with uncertain parameters
(2001-12-01)
In this study we consider the SIS epidemiological model (susceptible-infected-susceptible) in which the transmission and recuperation rates are considered fuzzy sets. The concepts of possibility measures and fuzzy expectancy ...
Main occupational diseases that affect dentists: literature review
(Portuguese Soc Occupational Safety & Hygiene, 2015-01-01)
In the last decades the literature has been publishing increasingly on factors associated with occupational diseases, functional limitations and disability for work, including those relating to dentists occupational health. ...
Coenzyme Q(10) and its effects in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases
(Universidade de São Paulo (USP), Conjunto Quimicas, 2009-10-01)
According to clinical and pre-clinical studies, oxidative stress and its consequences may be the cause or, at least, a contributing factor, to a large number of neurodegenerative diseases. These diseases include common and ...
Diagnostic Support for Alzheimers Disease through Feature-Based Brain MRI Retrieval and Unsupervised Distance Learning
(2016-12-16)
Initial stages of Alzheimer's disease are easily confused with the normal aging process. Additionally, the methodology involved in the diagnosis by radiologists can be subjective and difficult to document. In this scenario, ...
Parkinson's Disease Identification through Deep Optimum-Path Forest Clustering
(2017-11-03)
Approximately 50,000 to 60,000 new cases of Parkinson's disease (PD) are diagnosed yearly. Despite being non-lethal, PD shortens life expectancy of the ones affected with such disease. As such, researchers from different ...
Parkinson's disease identification through Optimum-Path Forest
(2010-12-01)
Artificial intelligence techniques have been extensively used for the identification of several disorders related with the voice signal analysis, such as Parkinson's disease (PD). However, some of these techniques flaw by ...
Improving Parkinson's disease identification through evolutionary-based feature selection
(2011-12-26)
Parkinson's disease (PD) automatic identification has been actively pursued over several works in the literature. In this paper, we deal with this problem by applying evolutionary-based techniques in order to find the ...
Potential applications of Desferrioxamine and other iron chelators for the clinical management of neurodegenerative diseases.
(Instituto de Física da Universidade de São Paulo.São Paulo, 2014-05-21)
Recently, potential applications of Desferrioxamine and other
iron chelators have attracted attention for the clinicai management of
neurodegenerative diseases. Several studies in the literature indicate that
metal ...
Deep learning-aided Parkinson's disease diagnosis from handwritten dynamics
(2017-01-10)
Parkinson's Disease (PD) automatic identification in early stages is one of the most challenging medicine-related tasks to date, since a patient may have a similar behaviour to that of a healthy individual at the very early ...
