A 76-year-old woman complained of abdominal pain in the right upper quadrant and fever that had been developing over the previous 10 days. On examination, she presented pain in the right upper quadrant with positive Murphy’s sign. Computed tomography showed the presence of acute cholecystitis and, as a casual finding, the presence of cholelithiasis with air in its interior (Fig. 1). The presenc...

The essential organ for respiration and inspiration of human beings are Lungs. It consists of five distinct lobes which are separated by three fissures (the boundaries of lung lobes are the areas containing fissures and having absence of bronchial trees). They are two oblique (left and right) fissures and one horizontal fissure. The left lung consist of left oblique fissure which separates the ...

Automated segmentation of the pulmonary lobes from chest CT scans is a challenging problem that is yet to be solved reliably. Therefore there is a need for a semi-automated solution in the case where the automated solution fails. We present an approach that can be used for correcting an existing lobe segmentation or segmenting the lobes from scratch in a semi-automatic manner. The method is bas...

evelopmentally each lung-bud projects into the pleural coelom. The splanchnopleuric layer of lateral plate mesoderm invests each lung-bud and develops into pulmonary pleura. The right principal bronchus divides into three secondary bronchi, around which the lobes of the lungs are developed. The left principal bronchus divides into two secondary bronchi, around which the two lobes of the left lu...

HIV-associated ulcers must be distinguished from idiopathic anal fissures in HIV-positive patients and from other sexually transmitted diseases that cause anogenital ulcers as the treatments differ.

She was born full term via an uncomplicated vaginal delivery to healthy, nonconsanguineous parents. The mother received prenatal care and standard screening tests were reportedly normal...

Urban overpasses, being long-span linear projects, are inevitably affected by ground fissure activities. This study focused on the three-span continuous overpass, and used MIDAS GTS NX finite element simulation software to establish model of an urban overpass crossing active fissures with different straddling positions hanging wall settlements. analyzed deformation stress characteristics soil b...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Biometric authentication is an important process for the identification and verification of individuals for security purposes. There are many biometric systems that are currently in use and also being researched. Tongue print is a new biometric authentication tool that is unique and cannot be easily forged because no two tongue prints are similar. The present study aim...
