Arrhythmia is a condition when heart beats are not beating properly, either in rhythm or in intensity. Sometimes arrhythmia problems could make patients in dangerous condition due to their sortie. However, good classification and diagnostic in arrhythmia will help many lives from fatal menace. Many different diagnostics and classifications have been conducted recently by using neural network as their classifier,

Trichloroethylene (TRI) is chlorinated solvent which has been used in various materials for industrial and daily task, such as dry-cleaners, ink composer, and medicine ingredients. It's has been known that TRI can penetrate human liver, and prolong exposure can evoke permanent damage to liver or cancer. In this research, we tried to create an automation tool that can help us analyzed and predict TRI level in human liver. The prediction will be based on liver images which analyzed using FCM, BPNNs, FLVQ, or FLVQ-PSO. In this research, the images of white mice liver that have been exposed to TRI are used. Our experiments show that the best accuracy achieved by BPNNs and 45 features from images which have been processed with KPCA. This combination accuracy is 99.12%.

A ring X chromosome is found in about 6% of patients with Turner syndrome (TS), often with mosaicism for a 45,X cell line. Patients with this karyotype are reported to have a higher incidence of a more severe phenotype including mental retardation. In fact, some studies have shown a correlation between this severity and the presence or absence of an intact and functional X inactivation center (XIST). However, the phenotype of the individuals with r(X) cannot be entirely defined in terms of their X-inactivation patterns. Nevertheless, a small group of these patients have been described to manifest clinical features reminiscent of the Kabuki syndrome. Here we present a female patient with clinical features resembling Kabuki syndrome and a mos 45,X/46,X,r(X) karyotype. Methylation analyses of polymorphic alleles of the androgen receptor gene showed that both alleles were unmethylated suggesting an active ring chromosome. A specific X chromosome array CGH was performed estimating the size of the ring to be 17 Mb, lacking the XIST gene, and including some genes with possible implications in the phenotype of the patient. © 2008 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
