Clustering of Ultrasound Cervix Image Using Objective Function

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2016.118

Synopsis:

Clustering technique that has been effectively applied to feature investigation, classifier designs in field such as medical imaging and image segmentation. This clustering is achieved by iteratively reducing a cost functionality. It is based on minimization of the objective function.

ABSTRACT

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate a clustering method that gets the similarity between the classes, where the comparison measure controls how the clusters are formed.

Hematoma and Ulnar Nerve Injury: Lookıng at Your Patıent Only or Tryıng to See wıth Ultrasound as Well

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2015.263

The Editor,

Sir,

A 75-year-old man was seen due to pain and numbness on the medial side of his left forearm (worse at night) for the last one month. He described that his complaints started after he had been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and put on warfarin (5 mg/day) and low molecular weight heparin (1.2 g/day) therapy. In the meantime, venography had shown subclavian vein thrombophlebitis.

Ultrasonographic Measurement of the Achilles and Supraspinatus Tendon Thicknesses in Patients with Chronic Lead Exposure

Issue:

Vol 64, Issue 4: September (2015)

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2014.086

Pages:

384–7

Synopsis:

Preliminary results imply that subjects with occupational lead exposure have smaller Achilles tendons than healthy subjects. Chronic lead exposure may affect the tendons due to reduction of collagen synthesis.

ABSTRACT

Objective: The study aimed to assess tendon thickness in patients with chronic occupational lead exposure by using ultrasonography.

Correlation of Left Ventricular Diastolic Function and Left Ventricular Geometry in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome

Issue:

Vol 64, Issue 2: March (2015)

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2014.054

Pages:

92–8

Synopsis:

Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome is an independent risk factor of morbidity and mortality in cardiovascular diseases. In this study, there was significant correlation between the left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and changes in cardiac geometry in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome.

ABSTRACT

Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation of the left ventricular diastolic function and the left ventricular geometry in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) by echocardiography.
