Background: Lhermitte-Duclos is a rare hamartomatous lesion of the cerebellar cortex with both neoplastic and hamartomatous features. Also known as dysplastic cerebellar gangliocytoma, they usually occur in the setting of Cowden’s syndrome, an autosomal dominant condition characterized by multiple hamartomas and neoplastic lesions in skin and internal organs. Although enlargement of the interna...

The short- to long-distance dispersal (SDD and LDD) of propagules is critical for the regeneration mangrove forests. Mark–recapture experiments are considered be a good tool assessing such patterns. However, dense roots, exposed mudflats, shallow water, etc. often limit number recaptured their implication studies. Therefore, combination hydrodynamic particle tracking models, together with mark–...

The Word-level Decision Diagram (WDD) technique has not been much investigated upon condition of linearity. We study the boundary case of the WDD, Linear WDD (LDD) and show that an arbitrary l-level combinational network can be represented by l LDDs planar by their nature. We contribute to the understanding of WDD models that so far have been shown to be linear just for some arithmetic circuits...

Controversy exists regarding the timing and outcome of surgery for lumbar degenerative disease (LDD) associated with foot drop. In this work, we report the results of a retrospective observational study from our center. We had a sample size of 26 patients with a minimum follow-up of 6 months. Of the 26 patients, 88% improved, with complete recovery observed in 61%. Thus, our data support the vi...

INTRODUCTION Epiphysiodesis has become one of the most popular methods in the treatment of leg length discrepancy (LLD) due to its surgical simplicity, short hospitalization time, and a low risk of complications. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on 34 patients treated for LDD with percutaneus epiphisiodesis of the distal femur and/or the proximal tibia. The mean dis...

In the down link scenario of code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, multi user detectors (MUDs) such as linear de-correlating detector (LDDs) provide satisfactory symbol error rates (SERs) at the expense of much increased complexity, they require all active users’ spreading sequences, which is impractical from privacy point of view. To overcome this impracticality, a simple matched filte...

BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus (DM) and low back pain which is mainly caused by degeneration of the intervertebral discs (IVDs) both are major public health problem worldwide. The present study was designed to investigate the association between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and severity of lumbar disc degeneration (LDD). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed patients with low back pain visiting...

BACKGROUND This study sought to prospectively and directly compare three cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) viability parameters: inotropic reserve (IR) during low-dose dobutamine (LDD) administration, late gadolinium enhancement transmurality (LGE) and thickness of the non-contrast-enhanced myocardial rim surrounding the scar (RIM). These parameters were examined to evaluate their value a...

In the sentence "The captain who the sailor greeted is tall," the connection between the relative pronoun and the object position of greeted represents a long-distance dependency (LDD), necessary for the interpretation of "the captain" as the individual being greeted. Whereas the lesion-based record shows preferential involvement of only the left inferior frontal (LIF) cortex, associated with B...
