Objectives: Pregnancy pica is harmful to the mother and her baby. This study aimed update global prevalence of in pregnant women. Methods: Scopus, Science Direct, Wiley online, Google Scholar, PubMed databases were searched for observational studies until July 2021. search was done with keywords "pregnancy pica", "prevalence "pica frequency". After evaluating extracted based on inclusion exclus...

Lateral root formation induced in cultured isolated roots by decapitation can be inhibited by a single short exposure to white light and red light inhibits lateral root formation much more effectively than blue or green light (10). With the development of knowledge about phytochrome, a photomorphogenetically active red/far-red pigment system (3, 7), it became of interest to know whether the phy...

INTRODUCTION There are variations in the anatomy of the vertebrobasilar system amongst which the Anterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery-Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery (AICA-PICA) variant is thought to have a prevalence of 20-24% (based on retrospective studies). Despite this, aneurysms of the AICA-PICA variant are rare. We present a case of an AICA-PICA aneurysm and discuss its presentation ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Results of endovascular treatment of PICA aneurysms are not well established. The purpose of this study was to report incidence, clinical presentation, and outcome of endovascular treatment in 46 patients with 47 posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS Of 2169 aneurysms treated between January 1995 and March 2007, 60 were located on ...

Multi-modal data analysis techniques, such as the Parallel Independent Component Analysis (pICA), are essential in neuroscience, medical imaging and genetic studies. The pICA algorithm allows the simultaneous decomposition of up to two data modalities achieving better performance than separate ICA decompositions and enabling the discovery of links between modalities. However, advances in data a...

Following Baxter's method of producing Q 72-operator, we construct the Q-operator of the root-of-unity eight-vertex model for the parameter η = 2mK N with odd N where Q 72 does not exist. We use this new Q-operator to study the functional relations through the Fabricius-McCoy comparison between the root-of-unity eight-vertex model and the superintegrable N-state chiral Potts model. By the compa...
