Reproductive Tract Infections among Women in Pakistan: An Urban Case Study
"... Reproductive tract infections (RTIs) among women-despite being common and having grave consequences-are not given much attention by policy-makers and health planners. The asymptomatic nature of most infections makes their detection and diagnosis difficult, making laboratory testing the most accurat ..."

The present paper assesses the magnitude and nature of infections as diagnosed through laboratory testing and looks into the variation in magnitude and the nature of RTIs among women with different socio-economic and demographic characteristics. The aetiological

Acellular pertussis vaccines protect against disease but fail to prevent infection and transmission in a nonhuman primate model

, 2014
"... Pertussis is a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by the bacterial pathogen Bordetella pertussis. Pertussis rates in the United States have been rising and reached a 50-y high of 42,000 cases in 2012. Although pertussis resurgence is not completely understood, we hypothesize that current ..."

In addition, restimulation assays using human PBMC or murine splenocytes after infection or vaccination also show higher levels of secreted Currently, a major focus of public health agencies

Dedicated to the Lotus Feet of the revered Sadguru. This thesis presents a new active mask (AM) framework and an algorithm for segmenta-tion of digital images, particularly those of punctate patterns from fluorescence microscopy. Fluorescence microscopy has greatly facilitated the task of understanding complex sys-tems at cellular and molecular levels in recent years. Segmentation, an important yet dif-ficult problem, is often the first processing step following acquisition. Our team previously demonstrated that a stochastic active contour based algorithm together with the concept of
Realization of Public M-Health Service in License-Free Spectrum
"... Abstract—Public m-health is a new medical service under intensive development, which provides unobtrusive monitoring of people’s health conditions from anywhere at any time to enable detection of deteriorating health conditions before severe discomfort or disability occur. A key challenge in practic ..."

in practical implementation of public m-health is the use of shared license-free spectrum by body area networks (BANs) to report sampled vital signs continuously and in real time. A cognitive medium access control method called centralized body area network access scheme (CBAS) is proposed in this paper
1 Fault Detection and Isolation and Fault Tolerant Control 1

The main objective of the Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) research area, widely addressed from several points of view since the early ’80s, is to study methodologies for identifying and exactly characterizing possible incipient faults arising in the plant. As commonly referred to in the literatu ..."

to in the literature on this topic (see Chen J. and Patton R.J., Robust model-based fault diagnosis for dynamic systems, Kluwer academic publishers, Boston 1999), the term fault detection is used to describe the problem of making a binary decision either that something has gone wrong or that everything is fine

A definite diagnosis of murine typhus and leptospirosis co-infections could not be made, but in 3 cases this scenario was plausible. We did not find evidence for scrub typhus, which we expected, because O. tsutsugamushi transmission occurs
