Introduction: Although BOLD functional MRI (fMRI) has been widely applied for sensorimotor and cognitive brain mapping, relatively large variations in BOLD signals have been observed between subjects, which may result in a reduction in the statistical power in group analysis as well as comparisons between patient and control populations. Recent studies have begun to address the biophysical basi...

Introduction: Ultra-high field MR scanners are used to perform brain functional MRI with a very high in-plane resolution [1,2]. Since the human cortex is convoluted in 3D, the use of isotropic voxels with high resolution is essential for fMRI to avoid partial volume effects. With higher field strength and resolution, susceptibility effects and T2* decay cause increased distortions, drop-outs an...

Let (I1; I2; :::; Ik) be a random k-tuple of subintervals of the discrete interval [1; n], and Ln the random variable that measures the size of their insersection. We derive the exact and asymptotic distribution of Ln under the assumption of equally likely drawn k-tuples. The enumeration of such k-tuples and re…nements of the given statistic lead to interesting relations to other topics, like o...

Genetic recombination is one of the most fundamental and significant events in the history of life because it plays a central role in creating genetic diversity and safeguarding and maintaining genomic integrity. Homologous recombination (HR) was first described by Thomas Hunt Morgan (Morgan, 1916) and results from crossingover of paired non-sister chromatids during prophase I of meiosis (see f...

Chronic lymphatic leukemia was diagnosed through routine histological evaluation of resected prostatic tissue. Two cases are presented. Anne Marie Worning, MD, Department of Pathology, Gentofte Hospital, DK-2900 Hellerup (Denmark) Chronic lymphatic leukemia (CLL), primarily diagnosed by histological evaluation of prostatic tissue, has only been sporadically described [1]. However, leukemic infi...

Carotid interventions are increasingly performed in select patients after acute stroke. We aimed to determine the effects of presenting stroke severity (National Institutes Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS]) and use systemic thrombolysis (tPA) on clinical discharge neurologic outcomes (modified Rankin scale [mRS] score) urgent carotid endarterectomy (uCEA) artery stenting (uCAS). The a tertiary Compr...
