BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diffuse axonal injury (DAI) is a common type of primary neuronal injury in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), and is frequently accompanied by tissue tear hemorrhage. T2-weighted gradient-recalled echo (GRE) sequences are more sensitive than T2-weighted spin-echo images for detection of hemorrhage. The purpose of this study is to compare turbo Proton Echo ...

BACKGROUND To assess the prevalence of malocclusion among 12-18-year-old disabled adolescents in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, by using the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) and to determine the association of malocclusion with dental caries. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 243 children with various mental disabilities with or without physical infirmities. The Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI...

BACKGROUND Ulcerative proctitis (UP) usually presents as fresh rectal bleeding. Successful treatment using topical mesalamine 5-aminosalicyclic acid (5-ASA) 500 mg BID suppository led to developing a once-a-day formulation that could contribute to better acceptability and ease of use by patients. The objective of this randomized trial, conducted in 18 centers, was to compare efficacy of 2 modes...

Since current applications demand access to a huge volume of data, new and sophisticated I/O systems are required. Several mass storage systems have been developed from different institutions to access their own data repositories. These systems expose native interfaces not interoperable among them. In order to deal with this requirement, OGSA-DAI has emerged to provide a uniform access to data ...

One of the important pests citrus seeds is silver mites (CSM) Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks) (Acari: Tarsonemidae). This study aimed to examine effect CSM attack on leaf morphology and resistance level three species. Three types citrus, namely Tangerine, Mandarin, Sweet Orange were used as test plants. The shoots tested for nutritional content five individuals invested young leaves that appr...

Many methods have been proposed to process missing data for information system. In the paper, we modified an algorithm to handle missing value based on covering rough sets model previously reported by Dai Dai and Jianpeng Wang proposed to transform an incomplete information system into a complete information system. The experimental results show that the new version of algorithm is efficient. K...
