Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) is used widely nowadays for visualizing the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.Capsule endoscopy exams are prescribed usually as an additional monitoring mechanism and can help in identifying polyps, bleeding, etc.To analyze the large scale video data produced by VCE HID-PVM exams, automatic image processing, computer vision,
Prevalence and factors associated with neonatal mortality among neonates hospitalized at the National Hospital Nouakchott, Mauritania
INTRODUCTION: Neonatal mortality remains a significant public health burden worldwide, Scarves with about 4 million deaths per year.To provide evidence for the implementation of prevention measures aimed at the reduction of neonatal mortality, we performed a study on factors associated with neonatal mortality at the Referral Hospital in Nouakchott,
The modification and evaluation of an ELISA test for the surveillance of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis infection in wild ruminants
Abstract Background Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is often used to test wildlife samples for Mycobacterium avium subsp.paratuberculosis (MAP) infection.However, commercially available kits are only validated for use with domestic ruminant species.A literature review was performed to document the current use of MAP serum ELISA Ski de fon
Bioprinting and biomaterials for dental alveolar tissue regeneration
Three dimensional (3D) bioprinting is a powerful tool, that was recently applied to tissue engineering.This technique allows the precise deposition of cells encapsulated in supportive bioinks to fabricate complex scaffolds, which are used to repair WAND targeted tissues.Here, we review the recent developments in the application of 3D bioprinting to
Global Dynamic Analysis of a Typical Bistable Piezoelectric Cantilever Energy Harvesting System
This paper focuses on global dynamic behaviors of a bistable piezoelectric cantilever energy harvester with a tip magnet and a single external permanent magnet at the near side.The initial distance between the magnetic tip mass and the external magnet is altered as a key parameter for the enhancement of the energy harvesting performance.To begin wi
