Clinical Decision Support System Sonares

A decision support system SonaRes destined to guide and help the ultrasound operators is proposed and compared with the existing ones. The system is based on rules and images and can be used as a second opinion in the process of ultrasound examination

Dictionary Search and Update by P Systems with String-Objects and Active Membranes

Membrane computing is a formal framework of distributed parallel computing. In this paper we implement working with the prefix tree by P systems with strings and active membranes

Classification of Early Stages of NAFLD Based on Dual Diagnostic Methods

High prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has made this domain of medical diagnostics one of high professional and public interest. The major problem of NAFLD diagnostics is that in its initial phase non-alcoholic fatty liver tends to be benign without tendency to progress, while in its second phase -- non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) can progress to cirrhosis, which subsequently may cause hepatocellular carcinoma. This fact explains the need for more sensitive classifications that would allow early diagnostics of NAFLD. NAFLD diagnostics in most cases is based on clinicopathological criteria -- decision rules expressed through ultarasound signs and laboratory data, annotated by hepatologist/gastroenterologist. In this article we describe the process of creation of a classification of NAFLD early stages based on a decisional reasoning, which combines two methods of medical diagnostics

Multilayered Knowledge Base for Triage Task in Mass Casualty Situations

Use of portable ultrasound becomes common practice in mass casualty situations. The obtained information helps emergency crews to make decisions regarding on-site triage, helping in determination of adequate diagnostics in proper time for saving lives of patients. In this article a design of multilayered knowledge base in domain of the abdominal region ultrasound examination for the case of mass casualty situations is described. Layers 1-2 correspond to casualty's severity state, and layer 3 -- to pathologies when the free fluid is present in the abdominal cavity, that is not the consequence of an abdominal injury

About Workshop in the framework of NIMSPPS project

In the period of September 18-19, 2018 the Workshop in the framework of NIMSPPS project ``Network for informational methods in supporting persons predisposed to preventable strokes using common devices'', took place in Chisinau, Moldova. The previous NIMSPPS Workshop was organized in Mainz, Germany on May 29-30, 2018 by Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, where Cooperation Agreement was signed. The September NIMSPPS Workshop was organized by the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science. 22 scientists from 5 countries (Austria, Germany, Moldova, Romania and Ukraine) attended this workshop

Distinctive features of recognition for documents printed in the Romanian transitional alphabets

In this paper, we summarize the research of digitization of documents printed by Romanian transitional alphabet. These printings are the most original Romanian historical documents, which makes our experience useful when researching OCR methods for similar alphabets. The current work is focused to OCR that is the first stage of scanned documents digitization. The technique of OCR of documents, printed in the Romanian transitional alphabet, is presented. In particular, this technique is embedded in our digitization platform HeDy. A series of examples is presented to demonstrate the application of the described technique

Syndrome of multiple organ dysfunction (SMOD) of non-septic etiology on the basis syndrome of CID. Clinical case

Catedra Anesteziologie şi Reanimatologie nr. 2, USMF ,,N. Testemiţanu’’, IMSP Spitalul Clinic RepublicanSindromul de disfuncţie multiplă de organe este deseori complicaţia finală a stărilor grave (critice), fiind una dintre cele mai importante cauze de mortalitate în unităţile de terapie intensivă, însoţită deseori de sindromul de CID. Prezentăm conduita de diagnostic şi terapie intensivă în cazul unei paciente în vârstă de 21 ani, cu sindrom de disfuncţie multiplă de organe de etiologie nonseptică, internată în mod urgent în stare critică la SCR. Datorită investigaţiilor ample au fost concretizate componentele sindromului MODS: insuficienţă renală acută (anurie, uremia, creatinemie, hipercaliemie); insuficienţă respiratorie (scor ALI-12 puncte); insuficienţă cerebrală (scor Glasgow – 3 puncte); insuficienţă cardiovasculară (bradicardie, hipotensiune); insuficienţă hemostazică (sindromul de coagulare intravasculară diseminată); insuficienţa gastroenterală (ilius paralitic mai mult de 24 de ore); disfuncţia hepatică (ALT /AST mai mare de 0,45-0,68mmol/l). Terapia intensivă timp de o lună în secţia reanimare a SCR a fost urmată de o evoluţie stagnantă a MODS, determinată de insuficienţa renală acută. Evoluţia sindromului MODS este cu atât mai gravă, cu cât sunt mai multe organe afectate.Syndrome of multiple organ dysfunction is often a final complication of grave (critical) conditions, being one of the most important causes of death in unities of intense therapy, in many times accompanied by the syndrome of CID. There is a case presented, of a patient with a syndrome of multiple organ dysfunction of the non-septic etiology, which was exposed to many necessary investigations for determining the cause of SMOD and nosologic diagnostics. Later, the components of the syndrome SMOD were specified: Acute renal insufficiency (anuria, uremia, Creatininemia, hyperkalemia); Respiratory failure (score ALI-12 points). Cerebral insufficiency (score Glasgow-3 points). Cardiovascular collapse (bradycardia, hypotension). Haemostasis insufficiency (syndrome of disseminated intravascular coagulation). Gastroenteral insufficiency (paralitic ilius more than 24 hours). Hepatic dysfunction (ALT/AST more than 0,45-0,68 mmol/l). Hemostasis insufficiency – syndrome of CID. Administrated intense therapy. During the evolution of congestive SMOD, determined by the acute renal insufficiency. SMOD is an evolving and cumulative syndrome, having numerous causes

Solving Problems in Various Domains by Hybrid Models of High Performance Computations

This work presents a hybrid model of high performance computations. The model is based on membrane system (P~system) where some membranes may contain quantum device that is triggered by the data entering the membrane. This model is supposed to take advantages of both biomolecular and quantum paradigms and to overcome some of their inherent limitations. The proposed approach is demonstrated through two selected problems: SAT, and image retrieving
