INITIAL DIAGNOSTIC ERRORS IN CHILDREN SUSPECTED OF HAVING HEART DISEASE: PREVALENCE AND LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES

Initial diagnostic errors in children suspected of having heart disease: prevalence and long-term consequences

OBJECTIVE: To access the incidence of diagnostic errors in the initial evaluation of children with cardiac murmurs.METHODS: We evaluated our 7-years of experience in a public pediatric cardiology outpatient clinic.Of 3692 patients who were sent to the hospital, 2603 presented with a heart murmur and were investigated.Patients for whom a disagreemen

A genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 knockout screen identifies TMEM239 as an important host factor in facilitating African swine fever virus entry into early endosomes.

African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious, fatal disease of pigs caused by Drum Paddle African swine fever virus (ASFV).The complexity of ASFV and our limited understanding of its interactions with the host have constrained the development of ASFV vaccines and antiviral strategies.To identify host factors required for ASFV replication, we de

Coastal solid waste prediction by applying machine learning approaches (Case study: Noor, Mazandaran Province, Iran)

Nowadays, intelligent systems are used as innovative tools in different environmental issues.However, the prediction of short-term waste, unlike the VIRUX long-term scale, is less developed due to more uncertainties and the difficulty in determining measurable independent parameters.In this study, two types of artificial neural networks (MLP and RB
