normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa microsoftinternetexplorer4 background: computed tomography (ct) scan without contrast is the modality of choice for diagnosis of stroke. however, routine brain ct scan, with linear processing has some limitations in early diagnosis of ischemic stroke. the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the sensitivity and specificity of processed ct images with conventional ones in early diagnosis of cerebrovascular attack (cva). materials and methods: this was a self-controlled study conducted in a university referal hospital from 2010 to 2011. seventy ct scans underwent a process using laplacian pyramid transform. thirty five of participants were diagnosed with cva while others had only headache and no ischemic stroke diagnosis based on the first and follow-up ct scans. a neuroradiologist made diagnosis with and without the help of processed ct scans. the mcnemar and wilcoxon analysis were used to compare the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of two methods. results: the sensitivity (% 65.7 vs. %31.4, p -value = 0.001), positive predictive value (% 85.2 vs. % 61, p -value = 0.03) and negative predictive value (% 73.9% vs. %49, p -value = 0.01) of the processed method were significantly higher than the routine one, while no difference was seen in specificity (% 88.6 vs. %77.1, p -value = 0.15). moreover, the accuracy of the processed method was significantly better than the linear one ( p -value < 0.001). conclusions: it was concluded that nonlinear modified laplacian pyramid method can composed ct scans which can be more helpful in early detection of ischemic stroke.

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

NOX Inhibitors - A Promising Avenue for Ischemic Stroke

NADPH-oxidase (NOX) mediated superoxide originally found on leukocytes, but now recognized in several types of cells in the brain. It has been shown to play an important role in the progression of stroke and related cerebrovascular disease. NOX is a multisubunit complex consisting of 2 membrane-associated and 4 cytosolic subunits. NOX activation occurs when cytosolic subunits translocate to the...
