Surgical resection of scalp arteriovenous malformation: Case illustration

Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the scalp is a rare lesion whose natural history remains to be elucidated. The report describes a case of a patient with a history of minor head trauma who presented with spontaneous bleeding from the scalp due to a relatively small scalp AVM. Several imaging modalities were used to establish the diagnosis, map the vascular malformation, and plan management. ...

The impact of surgical timing on visual outcome in pituitary apoplexy: Literature review and case illustration

BACKGROUND Neuro-ophthalmologic signs are common clinical manifestations of pituitary apoplexy. Managing sudden visual loss is critical for achieving a good outcome. The timing of pituitary surgery remains controversial. In fact, various points of view have been reported in the literature. METHODS We reviewed the impact of surgical intervention timing on visual outcome. The surgical intervent...

Illustration of Smooth Isosurfaces

We present in this paper a new particle-based method for sampling and rendering several types of the nonphotorealistic feature contours on implicit surfaces: silhouette, shadow and suggestive contours. We introduce a curve adhesion behavior for dynamic particles that brings up the possibility to render any contour that is defined as an intersection of two smooth implicit surfaces. In the case o...

An illustration of photocatalytic properties of ZnO nanorods array films

ZnO nanorods array films were coated on a glass template through a two-step chemical process. First, a sol-gel spin coating method was used to produce a ZnO seed layer and after that, the ZnO nanorods arrays were grown on it through a low temperature aqueous method. Synthesized films were studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). X-ray diffraction results sho...
