Background: Posterior tibial slope (PTS) is an important factor in the knee joint biomechanics and one of the bone features, which leads to knee joint stability. Posterior tibial slope affects flexion gap, knee joint stability and posterior femoral rollback that are related to wide range of knee motion. During high tibial osteotomy and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery, proper retaining the...

On basis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), researchers are devoted to designing visual encoding models predict the neuron activity human in response presented image stimuli and analyze inner mechanism cortices. Deep network structure composed hierarchical processing layers forms deep by learning features data on specific task through big dataset. have powerful representation data...

Purpose: The aims of this study were to investigate the clinical feasibility and report our preliminary treatment outcomes combined intracavitary/interstitial brachytherapy (IC/IS BT), using a hybrid applicator magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)based planning in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. Materials Methods: Between January 2017 December 2018, eight uterine cancer treated prim...

Despite extensive research on inhibitory control (IC) and its neural systems, the questions of whether IC can be improved with training and how the associated neural systems change are understudied. Behavioral evidence suggests that performance on IC tasks improves with training but that these gains do not transfer to other tasks, and almost nothing is known about how activation in IC-related b...

OBJECTIVE Interaural level difference (ILD) is the difference in sound pressure level (SPL) between the two ears and is one of the key physical cues used by the auditory system in sound localization. Our current understanding of ILD encoding has come primarily from invasive studies of individual structures, which have implicated subcortical structures such as the cochlear nucleus (CN), superior...

The aim of this study was to use functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-fMRI) to investigate the activated region associated with visceral pain in the brains of infant rats in a model of IBS. Sixteen newborn rats were randomized into an IBS model group and a control group. Those in the IBS group were separated from their mothers and were mechanically immobilized and had rectal sensitizatio...

Inhibitory control (IC) is a critical neurocognitive skill for successfully navigating challenges across domains. Several studies have attempted to use training to improve neurocognitive skills such as IC, but few have found that training generalizes to performance on non-trained tasks. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the effect of IC training on a related bu...

introduction radiofrequency planar microcoils are used to increase the resolution of magnetic resonance images of small samples. in this study, we aimed to design and fabricate a spiral planar microcoil constructed on a double-sided printed circuit board (pcb). it has four rings with an internal diameter of 241 microns tuned and matched at 63.8 mhz. materials and methods to achieve the maximum ...

Purpose: In patients with endometrial carcinoma, preoperative knowledge of myometrial tumor extension has important prognostic and therapeutic implications. The purpose of this study was to assess the usefulness of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in preoperative evaluation of myometrial invasion of early stage endometrial ca rci noma. Materials and Methods : MR imaging findings of 31 consecutiv...
