โœฆ Synopsis

A simple method devised for differential diagnosis between two mutually exclusive diseases is illustrated. On the basis of a simple mathematical analog of the physician's mental procedure, numerical weights are given to a selected set of signs characteristic of the two diseases; then a diagnosis about the pathological state of a given subject is performed by simply summing up the weights of the signs observed. The method was applied to discrimination between cholesteatomatous and chronic otitis media on subjects examined by multidirectional tomography of the middle ear. A synthetic view of the results is presented.

We present our approach to the diagnosis of pediatric neurotransmitter diseases exemplified by the differential diagnosis of children presenting with dystonia. This approach is based upon the primary aim of early diagnosis of treatable conditions and the need for a logical series of investigations.

Phylogenetic analyses of 22 dorid nudibranch species and 2 outgroup (dendronotacean and notaspidean) species were performed using sequences from two different mitochondrial genes (16S rRNA and COI). Several methods of differential weighting (positional, transformational, and combined) were explored
