Advances in plasmonic technologies for point of care applications
(American Chemical Society, 2014)Infectious diseases have considerable economic and societal impact on developing settings. For instance, malaria is observed more commonly in sub-Saharan Africa and India. The societal impact of acquired immune deficiency ... -
Antigenic GM3 lactone mimetic molecule integrated mannosylated glycopeptide nanofibers for the activation and maturation of dendritic cells
(American Chemical Society, 2017)The ability of dendritic cells to coordinate innate and adaptive immune responses makes them essential targets for vaccination strategies. Presentation of specific antigens by dendritic cells is required for the activation ... -
Application of the RIMARC algorithm to a large data set of action potentials and clinical parameters for risk prediction of atrial fibrillation
(Springer, 2015)Ex vivo recorded action potentials (APs) in human right atrial tissue from patients in sinus rhythm (SR) or atrial fibrillation (AF) display a characteristic spike-and-dome or triangular shape, respectively, but variability ... -
Automated cancer stem cell recognition in H and E stained tissue using convolutional neural networks and color deconvolution
(SPIE, 2017)The analysis and interpretation of histopathological samples and images is an important discipline in the diagnosis of various diseases, especially cancer. An important factor in prognosis and treatment with the aim of a ... -
A comprehensive methodology for determining the most informative mammographic features
(2013)This study aims to determine the most informative mammographic features for breast cancer diagnosis using mutual information (MI) analysis. Our Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act-approved database consists ... -
Cytotoxicity of multifunctional surfactant containing capped mesoporous silica nanoparticles
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016)This paper reports the synthesis of silica capped surfactant (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide; CTAB) and dye (Rose Bengal; RB) containing mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs). Capping the pores of the surfactant containing ... -
Early diagnosis of acute coronary syndromes with automatic ST/T classifier
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2014)In patients with acute coronary syndrome, temporary chest pains together with changes in ECG ST segment and T wave occur shortly before the start of myocardial infarction. In order to diagnose acute coronary syndromes ... -
Encapsulation of two different TLR ligands into liposomes confer protective immunity and prevent tumor development
(Elsevier B.V., 2017)Nucleic acid-based Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands are promising adjuvants and immunotherapeutic agents. Combination of TLR ligands potentiates immune response by providing synergistic immune activity via triggering ... -
Genetics and epigenetics of liver cancer
(Elsevier B.V., 2013)Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a major form of primary liver cancer in adults. Chronic infections with hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) viruses and alcohol abuse are the major factors leading to HCC. This deadly ... -
Histopathological image classification with the bag of words model
(IEEE, 2011-06-23)Colon cancer, which is one of the most common cancer type, could be cured with its early diagnosis. In the current practice of medicine, there are many screening techniques such as colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, and stool ... -
Local asymptotic stability conditions for the positive equilibrium of a system modeling cell dynamics in leukemia
(Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, 2012)A distributed delay system with static nonlinearity has been considered in the literature to study the cell dynamics in leukemia. In this chapter local asymptotic stability conditions are derived for the positive equilibrium ... -
A new model of cell dynamics in Acute Myeloid Leukemia involving distributed delays
(2012)In this paper we propose a refined model for the dynamical cell behavior in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) compared to (Özbay et al, 2012) and (Adimy et al, 2008).We separate the cell growth phase into a sequence of several ... -
Remote-controlled release of singlet oxygen by the plasmonic heating of endoperoxide-modified gold nanorods: towards a paradigm change in photodynamic therapy
(Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2016)The photodynamic therapy of cancer is contingent upon the sustained generation of singlet oxygen in the tumor region. However, tumors of the most metastatic cancer types develop a region of severe hypoxia, which puts them ... -
Stability analysis of cell dynamics in leukemia
(E D P Sciences, 2012)In order to better understand the dynamics of acute leukemia, and in particular to find theoretical conditions for the efficient delivery of drugs in acute myeloblastic leukemia, we investigate stability of a system modeling ...
