Segmentation of magnetic resonance images of brain and abdomen

121 p.Segmentation of MRI data is required for many applications, such as the comparison of different structures or time points, and for annotation purposes. Manual segmentation requires high-level expertise and is subject to inter- and intra- observer variability, time and labor consuming. All these urge the need for automatic segmentation algorithms. In this work we try to address two segmentation problems in MR imaging and design automatic algorithms to solve them.MASTER OF ENGINEERING (SCE

A case of hypersensitivity to soluble and isophane insulins but not to insulin glargine

Insulin is an important agent for the treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM). Allergic reactions to insulin therapy, although rare, have been evident since animal insulin became available for the treatment of DM in 1922. Hypersensitivity to insulin has considerably been reduced with the introduction of human insulin produced by recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid technology. Here, we present a case of Type 2 DM who demonstrated immediate (Type 1) hypersensitivity reaction on the sites of subcutaneous injection of soluble and isophane insulin but insulin glargine was tolerated well and provided good glycemic control
