TLDR
In this article, the authors proposed a method to understand the full genetic diversity and pathogenicity of leprosy and tuberculosis using the conventional genomic and proteomic approaches, which can assist the clinicians in making a judgment.Abstract:
Tuberculosis (TB) and leprosy (caused by mycobacterial pathogens) are two age-old infections, which we are facing even today. India is a major contributor to the global burden of leprosy and tuberculosis, which adversely affects the diverse communities as well as having a prevalence in different parts of the country. Timely diagnostics and effective treatment are very challenging, and the emergence of drug resistance has further complicated the management of these mycobacterial diseases. Various lineages of these mycobacterial pathogens show varying phenotypes in terms of clinical presentations and treatment outcomes. Altogether these factors make it further difficult to understand the full genetic diversity and pathogenicity of these pathogens using the conventional genomic and proteomic approaches. However, thanks to the recent technological advances in the genomics and proteomics field, many of these constraints have been suitably addressed. While it is relatively simpler to produce the omics data in a high-throughput manner, the bottleneck now is the pace to assimilate this large data into some useful information to reach a relevant, meaningful conclusion in a timely manner to assist the clinician in making a judgment.read more

Linguistic Hedges Fuzzy Feature Selection for Differential Diagnosis of Erythemato-Squamous Diseases.
TL;DR: In this article, a feature selection based on Linguistic Hedges Neural-Fuzzy classifier is presented for the diagnosis of erythemato-squamous diseases, and the performance evaluation of this system is estimated by using four training-test partition models: 50-50, 60-40, 70-30, and 80-20%.
