BACKGROUND The purpose of the study was to measure the retinal venous pressure (RVP) in the eyes of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients and healthy subjects with and without a Flammer-Syndrome (FS). METHODS RVP was measured in the following four groups of patients and age- and sex-matched healthy controls: (a) 15 patients with a POAG and a FS (POAG/FS+); (b) 15 patients with a POAG bu...

RÉSUMÉ. Le croisement de fibres est un problème important dans la plupart des algorithmes de suivi de fibres basés sur l’imagerie du tenseur de diffusion (DTI). Pour surmonter les limites du DTI, des techniques d’IRM à haute résolution angulaire (HARDI) comme l’imagerie par q-ball (QBI) ont été introduites. Le but de cet article est de présenter un état de l’art des techniques de reconstruction...

The Defensive Functioning Scale (DFS) and Overall Defensive Functioning score (ODF) have been used as reliable and valid measures of defense structure when applied to clinical narratives. This study aims to replicate and extend positive clinical validity data for the ODF in the assessment of depression and examine the relationship between specific defense levels of the DFS and depressive sympto...

Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging is widely used to investigate diffusion patterns of water molecules in the human brain. It provides information that is useful for tracing axonal bundles and inferring brain connectivity. Diffusion axonal tracing, namely tractography, relies on local directional information provided by the orientation distribution functions (ODFs) estimated at each voxel. To...

Introduction: Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) is an effort by the government to improve public health. The main focus of pillar one stop open defecation. Sagulung Subdistrict has verified and non-verified ODF villages in their working area. This paper aims create a CLTS model based on Subdistrict. Methods: research used mixed-method that combining qualitative quantitative approaches. An a...

Stop Open Defecation Fee (ODF) is one of the activities in Community Led Total Sanitation Program. The (CLTS) Â an approach to change hygienic and sanitary behavior through community empowerment by triggering. However, for implementation program, out 23 regencies/cities Aceh Province, there only area that has implemented a ODF, Banda City. Meanwhile, other areas still exhibit open defecation fe...

Os eventos de ondas frio (OdF) são mais evidentes quando, por vezes, impactam diversos setores da sociedade, inclusive o setor agrícola, cujo desenvolvimento é altamente dependente das condições climáticas. O Estado Santa Catarina reconhecido em todo país pelos seus cultivos maçã, sendo município São Joaquim maior produtor desta fruta território nacional. Desta forma, objetivo deste estudo foi ...

Introduction: With acquisition protocols such as high angular resolution diffusion imaging, head motion can become an issue. Although the misalignment between diffusion-weighted images (DWIs) can be corrected in a post-processing step [1,2], this might increase partial volume effects, because of the relatively low spatial resolution of DWIs and interpolation in the registration procedure. If ab...

The acquisition of high angular resolution diffusion MRI is particularly long and subject motion can become an issue. The orientation distribution function (ODF) can be reconstructed online incrementally from diffusion-weighted MRI with a Kalman filtering framework. This online reconstruction provides real-time feedback throughout the acquisition process. In this article, the Kalman filter is f...
