OBJECTIVE: To introduce an intelligent prenatal screening system, using triple test variables. STUDY DESIGN: In this study, we have used a backpropagation learning algorithm (a supervised artificial neural network) to develop an intelligent antenatal screening system (heretofore referred as Hacettepe System). Triple test variables were used as input variables, while “Down syndrome” and “nonDown syndrome” fetuses were the output of the algorithm. Unconjugated estriol (E3), beta-human chorionic gonadotropin, and α-feto protein with gestational week and maternal age (triple test) were used as input variables in the training and testing. Multiples of median values of the E3, α-feto protein, and betahuman chorionic gonadotropin were used in this study. The testing group of Hacettepe system consisted of 97 patients who were found to be high-risk (>1/250) during the routine antenatal screening (triple test) and underwent amniocentesis for fetal karyotyping. RESULTS: Amniocentesis was performed in 97 pregnancies with “high-risk” triple test results (>1/250). Fetal karyotyping revealed trisomy 21 in about 9.3% (9/97) of the pregnancies. Our algorithm (Hacettepe System) detected 77.8% (7/9) of Down syndrome cases. Moreover, all of the normal fetal karyotypes were assigned as normal in the Hacettepe System. CONCLUSION: We have developed an intelligent system using the backpropagation learning algorithm (using triple test variables) to predict trisomy 21.

A hybrid evolutionary performance improvement procedure for optimisation of continuous variable discharge concentrators
Sakuhuni, Givemore; Klein, Bern; Altun, Naci Emre (2015-05-05)
An iterative hybrid performance improvement approach integrating artificial neural network modelling and Pareto genetic algorithm optimisation was developed and tested. The optimisation procedure, code named NNREGA, was tested for tuning pilot scale Continuous Variable Discharge Concentrator (CVD) in order to simultaneously maximise recovery and upgrade ratio of gold bearing sulphides from a polymetallic massive sulphide ore. For the tests the CVD was retrofitted during normal operation on the flotation tai...
An Intelligent Clinical Decision Support System for Analyzing Neuromusculoskeletal Disorders
Sen Koektas, Nigar; Yalabik, Nese; Yavuzer, Gunes (2008-06-01)
This study presents a clinical decision support system for detecting and further analyzing neuromusculoskeletal disorders using both clinical and gait data. The system is composed of a database storing disease characteristics, symptoms and gait data of the subjects, a combined pattern classifier that processes the data and user friendly interfaces. Data is mainly obtained through Computerized Gait Analysis, which can be defined as numerical representation of the mechanical measurements of human walking patt...
A novel neural network based approach for direction of arrival estimation
Çaylar, Selçuk; Dural Ünver, Mevlüde Gülbin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
In this study, a neural network(NN) based algorithm is proposed for real time multiple source tracking problem based on a previously reported work. The proposed algorithm namely modified neural network based multiple source tracking algorithm (MN-MUST) performs direction of arrival(DoA) estimation in three stages which are the detection, filtering and DoA estimation stages. The main contributions of this proposed system are: reducing the input size for the uncorrelated source case (reducing the training tim...
A novel approach for small sample size family-based association studies: sequential tests
İlk Dağ, Özlem; Dungul, Dilay Ciglidag; ÖZDAĞ, Hilal; İLK, HAKKI GÖKHAN (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-08-01)
In this paper, we propose a sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) to overcome the problem of limited samples in studies related to complex genetic diseases. The results of this novel approach are compared with the ones obtained from the traditional transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) on simulated data. Although TDT classifies single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to only two groups (SNPs associated with the disease and the others), SPRT has the flexibility of assigning SNPs to a third group, that is,...
A MEMS based drug effect analysis system utilizing droplet microfluidics
Özkan, Metin Dündar; Külah, Haluk; Yıldırım, Ender; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018)
This thesis proposes a fully integrated lab-on-a-chip system designed for drug effect analysis based on the droplet microfluidics. It is mainly designed for screening multi-drug responses of cells in an automated operation. The distinguished feature of the drug screening system is that it includes droplet-based single cell encapsulation. The system includes two main subsystems which are parylene-based and normally closed electrostatic microvalves and droplet generation system. The integration of microvalves...
