Abstract The sunspot number is the most used solar-activity index to study behavior of solar activity. In this work, we reproduce methodology Coban, Raheem, and Cavus ( Solar Phys . 296 , 156, 2021) using a long short-term memory model with daily data from American Association Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) predict maximum amplitude Cycle 25. We have also that same values official (Version 2) ...

Introduction Several foot deformities (e.g. pes planus, pes cavus) result from muscular force imbalance across the joints of the ankle and foot. The use of in vitro measurements is required to explore the causal relation between muscle forces, individual foot bone movement and resulting foot deformities. This study quantified the effect of muscle action of the pretibial muscle groups, Mm. peron...

A 16-year-old woman with hypomelanosis of Ito (HI) was scheduled for surgical correction of a left wrist contracture and left cavus foot deformity under general anesthesia. She had left hemiplegia and right hemianopia, but otherwise normal cerebral function. At the age of 8 months she had undergone right functional hemispherectomy for medically intractable epilepsy caused by right hemimegalence...

We have reviewed 10 patients treated for anterior tarsal tunnel syndrome produced by compression of the deep peroneal nerve or its branches, and we have studied the anatomy of the tunnel in 25 adult feet. The causes of onset of the syndrome included contusion of the dorsum of the foot, tight shoe laces, talonavicular osteophytosis, ganglion, and pes cavus. The clinical signs were often diagnost...

Club foot – or, more correctly, congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) 1 – describes a specific foot deformity of midfoot cavus, forefoot adduction, hindfoot varus and equinus. The World Health Organisation has estimated that 100’000 children are born with CTEV, with 80% occurring in the developing world. 2 Ignacio Ponseti died on October 18 2009 aged 95. He was a pioneer in paediatric ort...

A 9 year old boy had chronic progressive motor-sensory neuropathy that started in early infancy. He had enlarged nerves and pes cavus deformity. Motor conduction studies showed very dispersed, polyphasic compound muscle action potentials with conduction velocities around 2 m/s. A sural nerve biopsy showed severe loss of myelinated fibres. Two months of treatment with corticosteroids restored mu...

Seipinopathy is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disease caused by mutations of the Berardinelli-Seip Congenital Lipodystrophy 2 (BSCL2) gene. We report the first Japanese case of seipinopathy with a heterozygous mutation of p.N88S in the BSCL2 gene. The patient showed bilateral hyperreflexia of the biceps, triceps, brachioradialis, and knee, as well as the pes cavus and distal dominant ...

This paper presents a semi-supervised data-driven approach to identify pediatric foot deformities using plantar pressure measurements. Essentially, the developed merges desirable features of kernel principal components analysis as feature extractor and Kantorovich Distance-driven monitoring scheme for detecting deformities. For extending flexibility proposed scheme, density estimation based non...
