Cardiovascular diseases are among the leading causes of death all over the world. Researchers have been extensively working on methods for early diagnosis and treatment of these diseases, with the goal of decreasing these death tolls. In Electrocardiographic Imaging (ECGI), the electrical activity of the heart is estimated from electrocardiographic measurements obtained from the body surface, using densely distributed electrodes, and a mathematical model of the body. This technique has advantages over classical electrocardiography (ECG) since it provides detailed information about the cardiac electrical activity without invasively recording measurements from the heart. From a mathematical point of view, this estimation problem is called the "inverse problem of ECG." However, this problem is ill-posed, and a priori information should be used to regularize the solutions. This paper presents an overview of several regularization methods with emphasis on statistical estimation methods such as Bayesian Estimation and Kalman Filtering. These techniques are advantageous over traditional methods due to their flexibility in incorporating the spatial and temporal information of the heart potentials for solving the inverse ECG problem, and yielding confidence intervals that help assess the accuracy of the solutions.

Selenium alters the lipid content and protein profile of rat heart: An FTIR micro spectroscopic study Toyran, Neslihan; Turan, Belma; Severcan, Feride (Elsevier BV, 2007-02-15) Cardiovascular disease is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in Western countries. In addition, it is well documented that selenium (Se) deficiency has been linked to cardiovascular diseases. This study was undertaken to present the effect of sodium selenite on left and right myocardia, and small veins of normal control rat heart at molecular level by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopy. The results mainly reveal that, Se treatment causes an increase in lipid c...
Molecular Biology of Liver Cancer Tulin, Ersahin; Öztürk, Mehmet; Atalay, Rengül (2015-01-01) Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the leading causes of cancer‐related mortality worldwide. Recent advances in the molecular profiling of HCC emphasize its intratumoral heterogeneity and reveal how cellular pathways are altered in favor of tumor progression. Malignant transformation of primary liver cancer is achieved through the acquisition of cancer hallmark capabilities that promote the uncontrolled proliferation of hepatocytes. In this review, the characteristics and acquired capabilities of huma...
Cost-effectiveness analysis of a prospective breast cancer screening program in Turkey Astım, Engin; Voyvoda, Ebru; Yılmaz, H. Hakan; Department of Economics (2011) Cancer is the second leading cause of death among the world and it has an increasing share among all causes of death. Economical burden of cancer is increasing especially in high and middle-income countries. Leaving cancer in competitive markets would lead to inefficiencies; hence governments should intervene in the market and make public decisions in struggling cancer. Among all cancer types breast cancer has the highest incidence and mortality rates in females. Causes of breast cancer still remains indete...
Structural mapping and network analysis of patient-specific mutations in glioblastoma Kaya, Tuğba; Tunçbağ, Nurcan; Doğan, Tunca; Department of Bioinformatics (2018) Cancer is one of the most common cause of death worldwide. It occurs as a result of a collection of somatic deviations from normal state. Therefore, many efforts have been invested to profile mutations in different types of tumors; such as, the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) which deposits multiple omic data for more than 11,000 tumor samples. In this thesis, we present a pipeline which retrieves patient-specific mutation data in Glioblastoma from TCGA, maps these mutations on the protein structures in Protein ...
Cancer modeling via biologically validated genes Karakelle, Barış Su; Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda; Ürün, Yüksel (2017-05-10) The cancer disease is the second most common disease type seen after the frequency of the cardiovascular diseases. The frequency of this genetic disease changes with respect to the gender. Accordingly, the gynecological cancer, which covers ovarian, endometrial or cervical cancer, is the second most common cancer type in women after the breast cancer. Similar to other cancer types, the gynecological cancer is the system disease, meaning that the malfunctions and mutations in the gene regulatory ...
