Objectives: Indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) on HEp-2 cells is the gold standard for antinuclear antibody (ANA) screening, followed by antigen-specific confirmation using immunoassays such as immunoblot (IB) and ELISA. ...

Hamstring muscle injuries are among the most common lower-extremity injuries in active individuals. Hamstring injuries follow a consistent pattern with a consistent medical history, which includes a sudden, explosive ty...

Abstract Background Plasma glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) has emerged as a promising biomarker of astrocytic reactivity in preclinical Alzheimer´s Disease (AD). However, most evidence to date comes from ultrasen...

BackgroundAccurate detection and monitoring of the oestrous cycle in West African Dwarf (WAD) goats is indispensable for reproductive management. Vaginal cytology is commonly used, but different collection methods may va...

BackgroundGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is an increasingly important contributor to maternal and neonatal morbidity in Africa, yet the evidence base remains fragmented across settings and research domains. This stu...

Neonatal sepsis has remained a foremost cause of morbidity and mortality globally, specifically in low- and middle-income countries. The neonatal period, which spans the first 28 days of life, has the highest lifetime ri...

Background. Pediatric abdominal pain accounts for more than 1 million emergency department (ED) visits annually, and appendicitis is the most common surgical emergency. Guidelines recommend ultrasound as the initial imag...

Abstract Skin diseases affect a considerable part of the world population, but it is not easy to diagnose these diseases on time because of the limited availability of dermatologists and the similarity of lesions. This r...

Abstract Objective To investigate whether virtual unenhanced (VUE) images generated from spectral CT using the rapid kVp switching technique can serve as a substitute for true unenhanced (TUE) images in the assessment of...

BackgroundRadical prostatectomy remains a key curative treatment for localized prostate cancer which has undergone continuous transformation. Recent developments in robot-assisted and single-port surgery have followed th...

IntroductionSouth American camelids (SACs) and dromedaries presenting with neurological abnormalities are increasingly common in veterinary practice. Advanced diagnostic imaging techniques, such as computed tomography (C...

Abstract Globally, shrimp aquaculture is a vital source of food, but disease outbreaks present serious economic challenges. Traditional diagnostic techniques, such as visual inspection and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)...

ObjectiveTo systematically map the evolution, academic network structure, and emergent research fronts of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) applications in prolonged disorders of consciousness (pDoC) through b...

Abstract In this study, a new three-parameter Lomax distribution is proposed using the beta transformation technique. The new distribution is named Beta Transformed Lomax distribution. Some mathematical properties of the...

Background. Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) affect the TMJ, masticatory muscles, and related structures. They are critical in sports medicine, as athletes face unique stressors—from facial trauma to exertional bruxi...

This literature review aims to synthesize current evidence on plastic bronchitis (PB), a disease characterized by varying degrees of branching cast formation in the airways. The rationale for undertaking this review stem...

Background: Magnetic Resonance Imaging plays a vital role in musculoskeletal diagnostics, especially in examining knee joint disorders. T2 mapping, an advanced MRI technique, offers a valuable quantitative approach to ev...

Brucellosis, a zoonotic disease, triggers severe inflammation and reproductive complications in both humans and animals. The standard treatment protocol relies on prolonged antibiotic courses, often combining streptomyci...

Abstract Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that causes motor and cognitive impairments, affecting approximately 1% of individuals over 60 years of age. Speech impairments are among th...

Skin lesions are one of the most prevalent form of diseases existing among us. Early detection and classification of potentially malignant skin lesions can give us a lead in the fight against skin cancer. There are many ...

Global food security relies heavily on rice production, which is continuously threatened by crop diseases. Although deep learning (DL) models have demonstrated strong diagnostic performance, their high computational and ...

Nanofluids based on transformer oil have emerged as promising candidates for improving insulation performance in high-voltage equipment. This study investigates the influence of TiO2 nanoparticles on the dielectric stren...

Orbital imaging has undergone a significant transformation over the past few decades, evolving from basic radiographic techniques to sophisticated cross-sectional imaging modalities. Historically, conventional radiograph...
