Accuracy Study of Kato-Katz and Helmintex Methods for Diagnosis of Schistosomiasis Mansoni in a Moderate Endemicity Area in Sergipe, Northeastern Brazil

Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease (NTD) caused by blood flukes from the genus Schistosoma.Brazil hosts the main Smocks endemic area in the Americas, where Schistosoma mansoni is the only species causing the disease.Kato-Katz (KK) thick smear is the WHO recommended screening test for populational studies, but there is growing evidence

Automated Detection of Buildings from Heterogeneous VHR Satellite Images for Rapid Response to Natural Disasters

In this paper, we present a novel approach for automatically detecting buildings from multiple heterogeneous and uncalibrated very high-resolution (VHR) satellite images for a rapid response to natural disasters.In the proposed method, a simple and efficient visual attention method is first used to extract built-up area candidates (BACs) from each

Localization of the action in AdS/CFT

Abstract We derive a simple formula for the action of any supersymmetric solution BOOK STAND to minimal gauged supergravity in the AdS4/CFT3 correspondence.Such solutions are equipped with a supersymmetric Killing vector, and we show that the holographically renormalized action may be expressed entirely in terms of the weights of this vector field

Laparoscopic cervico-isthmic anastomosis for old traumatic disjunction between the cervix and the uterine corpus: a case report and literature review

Abstract Background Old traumatic disjunction between the cervix and the uterine corpus is very rare case.In most cases, it is not immediately noticed until the onset of other symptoms, such as amenorrhea, Merch periodic abdominal pain and so on.Scanty cases of anastomosis surgery via laparoscope have been reported.Case presentation We report here
