AM-FM texture segmentation in electron microscopic muscle imaging

Pattichis, Marios S.; Pattichis, Constantinos S.; Avraam, Maria; Bovik, Alan Conrad; Kyriacou, Kyriacos C. (2000)

This paper describes the application of an amplitude modulation-frequency modulation (AM-FM) image representation in segmenting electron micrographs of skeletal muscle for the recognition of: 1) normal sarcomere ultrastructural ...

Differential expression of the rat retinoid X receptor γ gene during skeletal muscle differentiation suggests a role in myogenesis

Georgiades, Pantelis; Brickell, P. M. (1997)

Even though previous studies have shown that transcripts encoding the murine retinoid X receptor γ (RXRγ) are present in skeletal muscle of mouse embryos and that cultured myoblasts are induced to differentiate upon retinoid ...

In vivo high-resolution magic angle spinning proton NMR spectroscopy of Drosophila melanogaster flies as a model system to investigate mitochondrial dysfunction in Drosophila GST2 mutants

Righi, V.; Apidianakis, Yiorgos; Psychogios, N.; Rahme, L. G.; Tompkins, R. G.; Tzika, A. A. (2014)

In vivo nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), a non-destructive biochemical tool used for investigating live organisms, has recently been performed in studies of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, a useful ...

Involvement of skeletal muscle gene regulatory network in susceptibility to wound infection following trauma

Apidianakis, Yiorgos; Mindrinos, M. N.; Xiao, W.; Tegos, G. P.; Papisov, M. I.; Hamblin, M. R.; Davis, R. W.; Tompkins, R. G.; Rahme, L. G. (2007)

Despite recent advances in our understanding the pathophysiology of trauma, the basis of the predisposition of trauma patients to infection remains unclear. A Drosophila melanogaster/Pseudomonas aeruginosa injury and ...

Multiscale entropy-based approach to automated surface EMG classification of neuromuscular disorders

Istenič, R.; Kaplanis, P. A.; Pattichis, Constantinos S.; Zazula, D. (2010)

We introduce a novel method for an automatic classification of subjects to those with or without neuromuscular disorders. This method is based on multiscale entropy of recorded surface electromyograms (sEMGs) and support ...

Parental origin-specific developmental defects in mice with uniparental disomy for chromosome 12

Georgiades, Pantelis; Watkins, M.; Surani, M. A.; Ferguson-Smith, A. C. (2000)

Genetic analysis has shown that the distal portion of mouse chromosome 12 is imprinted
