PREDICTION OF ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM RESIDENT PROTEINS USING FRAGMENTED AMINO ACID COMPOSITION AND SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINE

Prediction of endoplasmic reticulum resident proteins using fragmented amino acid composition and support vector machine

Background The endoplasmic reticulum plays an important role in many cellular processes, which includes protein synthesis, folding and post-translational processing of newly synthesized proteins.It is also the site for quality control of misfolded proteins and entry point of extracellular proteins to the secretory pathway.Hence at any given point o

Cultivating the Apprentice-Mentor Model for Minimally Invasive Gynaecology in the Era of Surgically Scarce Training: A Case Report of Laparoscopic Cornuostomy for Interstitial Ectopic Pregnancy by a Trainee

Over the last few years, there is an apparent growing concern amongst O&G trainees click here of the inadequacy in exposure to minimally invasive gynaecology surgical training, which has been inadvertently compounded by the more stringent working hour regulations and disproportionately increasing number of trainees relative to surgical volume.There

How Useful is Glucose Detection in Diagnosing Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak? The Rational Use of CT and Beta-2 Transferrin Assay in Detection of Cerebrospinal Fluid Fistula

This report describes the sensitivity and specificity of glucose detection using Glucostix test strips and computed tomography (CT) of the skull base for confirming cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fistulae in patients with persistent rhinorrhoea or here otorrhoea, and comparing them with the beta-2 transferrin assay as the gold standard for CSF detection
