Tea leaves have economic importance in preparation of the popular beverage of the world “tea”. Bird's eye spot disease of tea leaves creates significant revenue loss in tea trade of many tea plant cultivating countries. Management of this disease by silver (AgNps) and copper (CuNps) nanoparticles that are biosynthesised by efficient antagonists was studied. The biocontrol agents like Pseudomonas fluorescens,...
Most diseases are not triggered by a single genome but by a combination of genomes together. Sequences occurring more frequently in the diseased samples than in the healthy samples indicate the generic factors of the disease. DNA has become an extremely useful tool for predicting disease. By allowing medical professionals to identify genes in DNA that are markers for diseases, a person can make appropriate...
When illustrated in textual or graphical form, the intricacies of the connections between weak and strong ties between such entities as endangered species in an ecosystem or people who might be carrying an infectious disease have proven difficult to convey. Technical communicators, both students and practitioners, can more ably explain technical concepts by 1) understanding the dynamics of small world...
Community-based healthcare strategies are becoming increasingly important in developing sustainable practices for prevention of neglected and emerging diseases in remote regions. In this paper, we discuss the use of "serious games" as one of the strategies for improving local populations' knowledge of the causes, preventive measures, and treatment options for neglected tropical diseases...
A goat health management system is presented in this paper, which can manage goat disease from each stage including goat file creation, routine monitoring, disease prevention and control. Integrate electronic medical records was set up, which based on medical records include goat basic information and routine monitoring results and disease prevention information. It can implement statistical analytic...
This paper proposes a novel, interactive telemedicine platform, providing real-time audio and video interactions among patients, physicians and health service provider. Such a system has been developed within the framework of the European Space Agency (ESA) project TElemedicine Services for HEALTH (TESHEALTH) in collaboration among industry, academia, and hospitals. In particular, in the framework...
The identification of disease-related microRNAs is vital for understanding the pathogenesis of disease at the molecular level and may lead to the design of specific molecular tools for diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Experimental identification of disease-related microRNAs poses difficulties. Computational prediction of microRNA-disease associations is one of the complementary means. However,...
Introduction: Moxibustion means application of heat directly or indirectly on the skin at certain points (called Acupuncture points) with a certain technique by igniting dried Moxa leaves. It is a method of treatment complementary and enhancing to Acupuncture therapy, in certain conditions alone can be more effective. Oriental belief is that Moxa leaves take away dampness from the body. Botanical...
WebEpi is an epidemiological WebGIS service developed for the Population Health Epidemiology Unit of the Tasmania Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Epidemiological geographical studies help analyze public health surveillance and medical situations. It is still a challenge to conduct large-scale geographical information exploration of epidemiology surveillance based on patterns and relationships...
Rising costs in health care have encouraged individuals to become more aware of disease prevention. Therapy in the prevention of disease is very popular; this complementary and alternative medicine treatment is known as “wellness”. Wellness therapy is about balancing the harmony of body, mind and spirit, through physical beauty care, healthy diet, relaxation, environmental sensitivity and social contacts...
Based on the existing disease cases and the same period of the weather and climate data, the correlation between infectious diarrhea disease and meteorological factors are researched in this paper. Through multiple regression probability grade method, Medical-meteorological forecast grade (divided into 5 grades) and epidemic risk level evaluation model are established. The results showed that single...
Timely and effective surveillance is critical for the prevention and control of epidemics. However, due to technical challenges and shortage of human resources, comprehensive and timely data collection required for effective surveillance, especially collection of data about sudden epidemic outbreaks, is still very difficult. In this paper, we propose the use of multi-source web data for epidemic surveillance...
Music electrotherapy is on the basis of electro-acupuncture, which combined music, electrode with electro-acupuncture. This method draws on the characteristics of both electrotherapy and music therapy music. Music electrotherapy through music and music signals acting on the hearing and body, increase or improve the person's psychological, physiological conditions, so as to achieve health, disease...
This paper describes the prototype of a diagnosis support system for preventing disease and its interface. The paradigm shift from disease treatment to its prevention is to be advocated. Also improving lifestyles at an early stage of diseases and a better comprehension of clinical data are important. To promote this paradigm shift, we construct a prototype of a medical diagnosis system that supports...
The Quantitative seismocardiography (Q-SCG) opens a new field of cardiovascular dynamics examination. Using this absolutely non-invasive method, a new field of monitoring heart rate variability was opened up. Systolic forces as well as heart rate variability in relation to changes in external stimuli are registered. Q-SCG probably offers a more complex view of both isotropic and chronotropic heart...
The realization of an health information systems for disease prevention is reported. Lifestyle management aspects are also dealt with along with business model framework for disease prevention.
In recent years, with the development of the economy and the advancement of the national income, personal healthcare has been becoming an important issue. Since the health examination can help people understand their own health conditions clearly, many people make regularly health examinations to avoid missing the best treatment time. So the health examination is an important role for people's health...
Researching the bacterial gene expression is a meaningful way to control and prevent the diseases which caused by bacteria. Recent researches indicate non-coding RNAs (ncRNA / sRNA) perform a variety of critical regulatory functions in bacteria. Since sRNAs have the consistent sequence characteristics, the genome-wide searching for sRNAs, especially the computational method, have become an effective...
A assembled method based on quantum particle swarm optimization (QPSO) algorithm combined with Bayesian networks (BN) is proposed to solve complex multi-objective nutritional diet decision making problem. To realize nutritional diet decision optimization for patients, BN model for dealing with associative relationship between diseases and diets is set up to compute and update the edibility of every...
ldquoWeb-based intelligent decision support system for prevention and control of fruit tree diseases and pests rdquo is a integrated agricultural information platform, which uses some high-tech and practical technology, such as pattern recognition technology, fruit tree cultivation and management techniques, pest and disease control technology, intelligent database technology, multimedia and network...
