Objective: To assess the results of double-face buccal mucosal graft urethroplasty (BMG) for treating anterior urethral stricture in adult males.

Study Design: An observational study. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Urology, Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation, Karachi, Pakistan, from 2021 to 2022.

Facile Synthesis of 5-Bromo--Alkylthiophene-2-Sulfonamides and Its Activities Against Clinically Isolated New Delhi Metallo--Lactamase Producing ST147.

Introduction: New Delhi Metallo--lactamase producing (NDM-1-KP) sequence type (ST) 147 poses a significant threat in clinical settings due to its evolution into two distinct directions: hypervirulence and carbapenem resistance. Hypervirulence results from a range of virulence factors, while carbapenem resistance stems from complex biological mechanisms. The NDM-1-KP ST147 clone has emerged as a recent addition to the family of successful clones within the species.

Phonocardiogram signal analysis for classification of Coronary Artery Diseases using MFCC and 1D adaptive local ternary patterns.

Coronary Artery Diseases (CADs) are a dominant cause of worldwide fatalities. The development of accurate and timely diagnosis routines is imperative to reduce these risks and mortalities. Coronary angiography, an invasive and expensive technique, is currently used as a diagnostic tool for the detection of CAD but it has some procedural hazards, i.

Outcomes of Transurethral Resection of Prostate in Patients with and without Renal Failure Secondary to an Enlarged Prostate.

The natural history of benign enlargement of the prostate is variable and ranges from mild symptoms to chronic retention and renal failure. In this study, the outcomes of patients with urinary retention alone were compared with those of chronic retention and renal failure caused by an enlarged prostate. The first group had 79, while the second group had 20 patients included.

Outcomes of Cystectomy with MAINZ Pouch II and Epispadias Repair in Exstrophy Epispadias Complex in Adults: A Single-centre Experience from Pakistan.

Objective: To evaluate surgical outcomes and renal functions after cystectomy + MAINZ Pouch II and epispadias repair as a staged procedure in adult patients with exstrophy epispadias complex (EEC).

Study Design: Descriptive study.

Place And Duration Of Study: Department of Urology, Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT), Karachi, from January 2004 to December 2020.

HCF-CRS: A Hybrid Content based Fuzzy Conformal Recommender System for providing recommendations with confidence.

A Recommender System (RS) is an intelligent system that assists users in finding the items of their interest (e.g. books, movies, music) by preventing them to go through huge piles of data available online.

IntelliHealth: A medical decision support application using a novel weighted multi-layer classifier ensemble framework.

Accuracy plays a vital role in the medical field as it concerns with the life of an individual. Extensive research has been conducted on disease classification and prediction using machine learning techniques. However, there is no agreement on which classifier produces the best results.

A Relation Extraction Framework for Biomedical Text Using Hybrid Feature Set.

The information extraction from unstructured text segments is a complex task. Although manual information extraction often produces the best results, it is harder to manage biomedical data extraction manually because of the exponential increase in data size. Thus, there is a need for automatic tools and techniques for information extraction in biomedical text mining.

Barcoding of fresh water fishes from Pakistan.

DNA bar-coding is a taxonomic method that uses small genetic markers in organisms' mitochondrial DNA (mt DNA) for identification of particular species. It uses sequence diversity in a 658-base pair fragment near the 5' end of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) gene as a tool for species identification. DNA barcoding is more accurate and reliable method as compared with the morphological identification.

BagMOOV: A novel ensemble for heart disease prediction bootstrap aggregation with multi-objective optimized voting.

Conventional clinical decision support systems are based on individual classifiers or simple combination of these classifiers which tend to show moderate performance. This research paper presents a novel classifier ensemble framework based on enhanced bagging approach with multi-objective weighted voting scheme for prediction and analysis of heart disease. The proposed model overcomes the limitations of conventional performance by utilizing an ensemble of five heterogeneous classifiers: Naïve Bayes, linear regression, quadratic discriminant analysis, instance based learner and support vector machines.

Global optimization ensemble model for classification methods.

Supervised learning is the process of data mining for deducing rules from training datasets. A broad array of supervised learning algorithms exists, every one of them with its own advantages and drawbacks. There are some basic issues that affect the accuracy of classifier while solving a supervised learning problem, like bias-variance tradeoff, dimensionality of input space, and noise in the input data space.
