Temporal dynamics of Gd-enhaced T1 relaxation time in deep and superficial femoral articular cartilage

INTRODUCTION dGEMRIC (delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage) technique has been developed to assess GAG content of articular cartilage [1]. Based on the previous studies, the ideal imaging time for knee joint after contrast agent injection has been assessed to be two hours [2]. However, the change in cartilage T1 has been observed from bulk regions of interest containing both deep and su...

Superficial siderosis.

Case 1 An elderly patient presented with insidious onset of sensorineural hearing loss. The past history was unremarkable except for insidious onset of weakness of left lower limb. Physical examination revealed left hemiparesis with upgoing left plantar. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain revealed a large flow void in the interpeduncular cistern suggestive of aneurysm arising from the to...

Early Marjolin's Ulcer after Minimal Superficial Burn

Superficial multiple fibromatosis( combined 3 syndromes)

A 50 years old male patient to referred to our clinic for multiple hard diffused lesions on palms, plantars and penis. The Genesis of the problem goes back to 10 years earlier. The lesions appeared first on the soles and gradually new lesions appeared on the palms and eventually on the penis, so that stretching and contraction of the fingers and toes has become painful. During the last 6 years,...

Semidefinite relaxation for dominating set

‎It is a well-known fact that finding a minimum dominating set and consequently the domination number of a general graph is an NP-complete problem‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we first model it as a nonlinear binary optimization problem and then extract two closely related semidefinite relaxations‎. ‎For each of these relaxations‎, ‎different rounding algorithm is exp...
