BACKGROUND As an alternative to electric vacuum aspirations (EVA), there is an increasing interest in using manual vacuum aspiration (MVA). OBJECTIVE To compare the safety, efficacy and acceptability of MVA with those of EVA for first-trimester abortion. SEARCH STRATEGY We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Chinese Biomedical Database in all language, together with reference lis...

Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) data are complex, even for the simplest systems. Yet it is within this complexity that information about sample composition, molecular orientation, surface order, chemical bonding, sample purity, etc. is contained. The challenge is how to easily extract this information from the spectra and images. Multivariate analysis (MVA) has shown p...

Modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) is a highly attenuated vaccine vector that has an excellent vaccine safety record. Also, as a eukaryotic gene expression vector, MVA can be used in a biosafety level 1 setup, in contrast to more virulent vaccinia virus strains. Isolation of recombinant MVA involves repeated plaquing of the virus and is burdensome because virus plaques are slow to develop and diffi...

BLANCHARD, E.B., HICKLING, E.J., TAYLOR, A.E., LOOS, W.R., FORNERIS, C.A., & JACCARD, J. (1996). Who develops PTSD from motor vehicle accidents? Behaviour Research and Therapy, 34, 1-10. Within 1 to 4 months of their motor vehicle accident (MVA), we assessed 158 MVA victims who sought medical attention as a result of the MVA. Using the ClinicianAdministered PTSD Scale, we found that 62 (39%) me...

AIMS We sought to investigate the factors associated with restenosis and its potential association with late clinical deterioration after successful percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty (PMV). METHODS AND RESULTS We analysed echocardiographic (median 74 months) and clinical (median 109 months) follow-up data of 329 patients who achieved procedural success, defined as mitral valve area (MVA) > or...

This population-based cohort study of more than 600,000 Australian women describes the incidence of motor vehicle accidents (MVA) during pregnancy and the immediate and subsequent pregnancy outcomes. In this study, 3.5 women per 1000 maternities were admitted to hospital following an MVA. Immediate delivery was uncommon: 0.4% at <20 weeks of gestation and 3.5% at ≥ 20 weeks of gestation. Outcom...

The Fifteenth IAPR International Conference on Machine Vision Applications will be held at Nagoya University, Japan, from May 8 through 12, 2017. The conference is co-sponsored by the MVA Organization, IAPR, and Graduate School of Information Science, Nagoya University. In conjunction with the MVA 2017, we plan to publish the special section that consists of the papers published in the MVA 2017...
