Classification of MCA stenosis in diabetes by MLP and RBF neural network.

For the classification of Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA) stenosis, Doppler signals have been received from the diabetes and control group by using 2 MHz Transcranial Doppler. After the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analyses of the Doppler signals, Power Spectrum Density (PSD) estimations have been made and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and Radial Basis Function (RBF) have been dealt to apply to the neural networks. PSD estimations of Doppler signals received from MCA of 104 subjects have been successfully classified by MLP (correct classification = 94.

Diminished cellular and humoral immunity in workers occupationally exposed to low levels of ionizing radiation.

Background: It has been reported that subgroups of T-lymphocytes are affected at different levels and different cell groups of immune system give different responses in individuals exposed to long-term ionizing radiation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of occupational exposure to low levels of ionizing radiation in selected indices of cellular and humoral immunity in radiology workers.

Methods: Level of subgroups of peripheral blood lymphocytes, complements (C(3), C(4)), and total immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgM) were analyzed in 50 radiology workers occupationally exposed to low levels of ionizing radiation and 35 age-matched healthy controls.

The examination of the effects of obesity on a number of arteries and body mass index by using expert systems.

In this study, the areas affected from obesity were examined by classifying divergent arteries and body mass index (BMI) of 30 healthy persons and 52 obese persons by using expert systems, and the classifying performances of NEFCLASS and CANFIS, which are expert systems were compared. As a result of this comparison, it is observed that the classifying performance of NEFCLASS is better than that of CANFIS, and the causes of this are examined. Furthermore, it is observed that after these classifications, obesity affects the BMI rather than divergent arteries.
