| Abstract | Renal failure due to diabetic nephropathy is the main cause of death in patients with insulin dependent diabetes and on average death occurs seven years after the start of persistent albuminuria. Increased arterial blood pressure is an early and common occurrence in diabetic nephropathy. Antihypertensive treatment reduces albuminuria and diminishes the rate of decline in glomerular filtration rate thereby postponing end stage renal failure in patients with diabetic nephropathy. Enalapril is considered for use as a renal protective drug in normotensive diabetics with persistent microalbuminuria. In a short term experimental study, Enalapril has been shown to reduce the albumin exertion rate in adolescent diabetic patients with or without elevated blood pressure and its antiproteinuric effect independent of its effect on systemic blood pressure. Since these tests are quite expensive and time taking, we have formulated this problem in the framework of an artificial neural network (ANN) to measure the long term efficacy of Enalapril. Based upon the data available from testing of patients, the proposed ANN has been trained using a backpropagation (BP) algorithm. The network is used for the long term efficacy of Enalapril phantomly. The proposed network gives encouraging results. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
