The purpose of this study was to investigate the ability of patients with Alzheimer's disease to shift attention between spatial locations and between objects, and to examine the brain regions involved in these cognitive operations using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging. A recent study of patients with focal lesions provided evidence that the right and left parietal lo...

in this paper we study right $n$-engel group elements‎. ‎by modifying a group constructed by newman and nickel‎, ‎we construct‎, ‎for each integer $ngeq 5$‎, ‎a 2-generator group $g =langle a‎, ‎brangle$ with the property that $b$ is a right $n$-engel‎ ‎element but where $[b^k,_n a]$ is of infinite order when $knotin {0‎, ‎1}$‎.

introduction the eustachian valve (ev) remnant, when present in adults, is usually rudimentary. however, in echocardiographic examinations, it may appear as a mobile long structure in the right atrium, and it rarely protrudes into the right ventricle. when it is quite large, the ev remnant could be misdiagnosed as a right atrial tumor, thrombus, or vegetation. case presentation an 83-year-old p...

Auditory startle reflexes can accelerate simple voluntary reaction times (StartReact effect). To investigate the role of startle reflexes on more complex motor behaviour we formulated two questions: (1) can auditory startle reflexes shorten choice reaction times?; (2) is the StartReact effect differentially modulated when startling auditory stimuli are delivered ipsilaterally or contralaterally...

This article aims to investigate whether auditory stimuli in the horizontal plane, particularly originating from behind the participant, affect audiovisual integration by using behavioral and event-related potential (ERP) measurements. In this study, visual stimuli were presented directly in front of the participants, auditory stimuli were presented at one location in an equidistant horizontal ...

Case I. Married woman, age 61 years. The left pupil was first noticed to be small and fixed following an attack of acute and severe tonsillitis at the age of 29 years. Neither the grandparents, the parents, the husband nor seven siblings have shown inequality of the pupils. At the age of 36 years, the patient was examined by Dr. R. J. Coulter, of Newport, Monmoutlishire, who kindly informs me t...

Esthesioneuroblastoma (olfactory neuroblastoma) is an uncommon neuroectodermal tumor. Its biological activity ranges from indolent growth to local recurrence and rapid widespread metastasis. Treatment options consist of surgical resection followed by radiation therapy for primary lesions and the addition of chemotherapy for advanced, recurrent, or metastatic lesions. Patients often present with...

Purpose. In here we described cytomegalovirus retinitis (CMVR) in 12-year-old male patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who was on maintenance phase therapy. Methods. He was referred to our clinic for seeing of spots with the right eye for 3 days. At presentation, his best corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left eye. Slit-lamp biomicroscopic examinati...
