Melatonin (Mel.), also known as the magic hormone, is a nocturnally secreted hormone orchestrates the clearance of free radicals that have been built up and cumulated during day. This study aims to detect the impact of pineal gland removal on the incidence of tumor development and to assess the signaling pathways via which exogenous melatonin counteract cancer growth. This goal has been achieved by...
Cerebral surface extraction plays a fundamental role of computer aided diagnosis (CAD) for neonatal brain magnetic resonance (MR) images. However, cerebral sulci of the neonatal brains is complexity folded, and it is difficult to extract complete cerebral contour from MR images due to the limitation of spatial resolution and partial volume effect (PVE). This paper proposes a novel method to extract...
We are developing device pairing methods that enable a user to establish two devices, such as a mobile phone and a PC as a device pair. In our previous developed method, a user can create a device pair by simultaneously clicking the pairing buttons shown on their screens. However, when the system handles many users, clicks from different users could overlap, resulting in request collisions. In this...
The spread of ubiquitous communications is dramatically changing the way of daily work. In this paper, we present an ad-hoc endpoint pairing method that enables a user to easily establish a pair of endpoints, such as an IP-hard phone (fixed or mobile IP-phone) and a PC-based soft phone, simply by simultaneously clicking a GUI button on the display screen of each endpoint. Using the endpoint pairing...
Computer aided diagnosis (CAD) system is an effective system of systems engineering (SoSE) in the medical field. The CAD system using medical images is constructed by integrating medical image acquisition system, medical image processing system, and clinical data analysis system, and it presents both of quantitative and qualitative data for physicians. This article proposes a CAD system for diagnosing...
Volumetric cerebrum and measurement of cerebral surface area using MR images plays a fundamental role in computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) of neonatal cerebral diseases such as hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. There are many conventional methods for brain extraction from adult MR images. However, it is hard to apply these methods for neonatal MR images that image features are different from adult one...
It is known that Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy of the neonate decreases the cerebral volume. And, the volume decrement occurs at the different rate on each gyrus. Therefore, it is helpful for diagnosing such symptoms to segment the cerebral region from neonatal MR images and measure the volume of each gyms. Many conventional methods for segmenting brain region from adult brain MR images have been...
