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...
Much recent work in multiple input use scenarios for children's learning software has focused either on math or on English language learning. The persistence of under-information among children in the developing world on issues of hygiene and disease prevention remains a massive challenge within the scholarly community in public health, especially in the developing regions that multiple input learning...
We are interested in understanding how high quality information management systems can improve disease prevention and screening services, particularly in the prevention of diabetes and its complications. As part of this effort, we are exploiting standards-driven distributed data collation, processing and computational technologies to deduce comparative performance of disease outcomes markers. In the...
United States spends more per capita on health than any other nation, yet has worse health outcomes than many other countries. Moreover, expenditures on health in the U.S. are growing rapidly, and are taking up an increasingly larger share of per capita gross domestic product. Elsewhere in the world, some nations struggle with basic health issues such as sanitation and control of infectious diseases,...
Pulse-taking is a characteristic technique of diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and plays a very important role in TCM clinical practice. The diversity of pulse condition can reflect the change of organs and entrails as well as QI-blood and body fluid in human body. It is one important index of health monitoring. In this paper, we expound the formation of biometric characteristic of...
The paper discusses integrating of current and emerging technologies with healthcare. These technologies can be used for prevention of diseases, enhancing healthcare access, efficient and accurate diagnostics, effective healthcare delivery, rehabilitation, healthcare information management, improving quality of life at all ages and many other features. In this paper, we discuss several aspects of...
Menu making support system is a system aiming at calculating a nutrient from the data of foods or food county, and making a menu by using a database. Anyone can make the menu which thought about a nutrient easily by using this system. By using this system, the nutrient of the dish according to individual in a usual home is calculable.
Research results on the sample decision service systems based on China's Next Generation Internet (CNGI) environment are related. There are sub-systems, i.e. the system on CNGI application management, on natural resource-environment & sustainable development, on disease preventing, controlling and emergency reaction, on bio-diversity and ecological safety, and on regional tourism service and decision...
ldquoPersonal Healthcarerdquo refers to the prevention and management of diseases outside the institutional points of care. The paradigm shift is to apply healthcare whereever a person may be, at his home or on the move. This new paradigm will allow a much more frequent interaction of a professional or the patient himself with his health status. Even for ill people the typical frequency of doctor...
The goal of the biomedical engineering is to contribute to a better quality of life by improving health with innovative technologies. The containment of the costs of health care is as important as the improvement of the quality health care. Biomedical engineering integrates physical, chemical, mathematical, and computational sciences and engineering principles to study biology, medicine, behavior,...
The present study proposed methods of preventing diseases, controlling chronic degenerative diseases and promoting health, which are major concerns of sports medicine. In the proposed methods, we analyzed wu-shu trainees' physical activities scientifically and quantitatively. The amount of physical activities was measured using SenseWear-PRO2-armband developed by body-medai company. The armband includes...
The central piece for healthcare and public health is information. Through the shared use of the Internet and the WWW, for example, elder patients can be "visited, diagnosed, treated and managed" from their homes, with the help of telemedicine systems. This technology also provides society with additional benefits within a global health perspective, with applications ranging from disease...
Healthcare markets and healthcare systems worldwide will be undergoing tremendous changes in the upcoming 5-10 years. We will experience a paradigm shift in the personal awareness and responsibility of disease prevention and health management. Skyrocketing costs, an ageing population and a variety of technical innovations that enhance the quality of life of patients with chronical diseases or suffering...
Consistent with the global population trend, China is becoming an aging society. Over one-fifth of the world's elderly population (aged 65 and over) lives in China. Statistics show that the elderly populace in China constitutes 8% of the total population in 2006 and the percentage will be tripled to become 24% in 2050. As a result, there is inevitably an increase in the prevalence of chronic disease...
This talk discusses some trends in diagnostics and treatment anchored in recent advances in signal processing. The talk begins with an introduction to compressed sensing and describes its applications in MRI cardiac imaging. Next, the talk focuses on biclustering techniques and their use in developing group biomarkers for ovarian cancer. The talk concludes with an overview of wireless wearable sensors...
Telemedicine is defined as, the delivery of e-health services, where distance is a critical factor, by all e-health professionals using telecommunication technologies for the exchange of medical information for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases and injuries, research and evaluation, and for continuing education of health care providers, all in the interests of advancing the health of...
We developed an experimental system of Cardiac Arrhythmia Risk Evaluation (CARE) based on electrophysiological computer simulation. The system can evaluate a risk of tachyarrhythmia by the electrophysiological simulation with premature stimulation to many sites in the ventricular model, and users can browse the results on the Web page with the visualized data. The system is expected to be useful to...
Modern societies are in danger of HIV/AIDS, the plague of the century. HIV/AIDS can not be recovered via current medical cures. The most effective prevention of the disease is early health education about HIV/AIDS. In this context, learning environments supported with information and communication technologies should be used. In order to make young people more conscious, it is important to educate...
