A Bayesian decision analysis with fuzzy interpretability for aging chronic disease
This paper presents ideas on the applications of fuzzy concept to decision making for aging chronic disease. A Non-Homogeneous Poisson Process (NHPP) with a power-law intensity function is used in this study. In general, classical Bayesian decision methods presume that future states of nature can be characterised as probability events. However, we do not know what the future will entail ...

Association between Diabetes Mellitus and chronic kidney disease with Muscle loss and weight loss
Muscle loss / muscle wasting is the condition in which, proteolytic systems for protein degradation are activated, while protein synthesis decreases, thereby resulting in muscle fiber shrinkage. This condition may be due age or might be due some chronic conditions like Diabetes mellitus (DM) or chronic kidney disease (CKD). Extreme muscle wasting often results in weight loss. Such a condition is ...

Drug adherence in Parkinson`s disease
Abstract Physicians modify drug schedules in response to their patients' clinical responses. Failure to relieve patients' symptoms or the emergence of drug-related side effects may reflect nonadherence to a prescribed drug schedule rather than incorrect therapeutic physician decisions. Using a medication questionnaire and a computerized medication event monitoring system (MEMS) to monitor ...

Life and death in a macrophage: role of the glyoxylate cycle in virulence
Phagocytic cells of the innate immune system, such as macrophages and neutrophils, are a primary line of defense against microbial infections. Patients with defects in innate immunity, such as those with chronic granulomatous disease or neutropenia, are extremely sensitive to a variety of infections. When a phagocyte recognizes the presence of an invading cell, it engulfs the microbe with its ...
