Rough set based rule induction in decision making using credible classification and preference from medical application perspective.

This paper presents a new heuristic algorithm for reduct selection based on credible index in the rough set theory (RST) applications. This algorithm is efficient and effective in selecting the decision rules particularly the problem to be solved in a large scale. This algorithm is capable to derive the rules with multi-outcomes and identify the most significant features simultaneously, which is unique and useful in solving predictive medical problems.

Silicon substrate as a novel cell culture device for myoblast cells.

Background: Tissue and organ regeneration via transplantation of cell bodies in-situ has become an interesting strategy in regenerative medicine. Developments of cell carriers to systematically deliver cell bodies in the damage site have fall shorten on effectively meet this purpose due to inappropriate release control. Thus, there is still need of novel substrate to achieve targeted cell delivery with appropriate vehicles.

Ignorance of electrosurgery among obstetricians and gynaecologists.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the level of skill of laparoscopic surgeons in electrosurgery.

Design: Subjects were asked to complete a practical diathermy station and a written test of electrosurgical knowledge.

Setting: Tests were held in teaching and non-teaching hospitals.

Reliability and validity of an objective assessment instrument of laparoscopic skill.

A novel objective assessment method in reproductive endoscopic surgery could advance surgical education.
