syncope5 and suppuration in the groin after extra-vascular injection.6 The great danger, however, is that it is radioactive : ill results from this have been reported.9 Sodium iodide is likely to produce severe reactions and much pain, but it is still used for the aorta.10, 11 Organic iodides are the substances now usually employed. The most favoured is diodone (diodrast, Pyelosil). It is prepa...

Landmarking is a novel approach to describing tasks in meta-learning. Previous approaches to meta-learning mostly considered only statistics-inspired measures of the data as a source for the de nition of metaattributes. Contrary to such approaches, landmarking tries to determine the location of a speci c learning problem in the space of all learning problems by directly measuring the performanc...

We propose a technique for the segmentation of images using both colour and texture information. This information is in the form of lowpass colour responses and sixteen Gabor texture lter responses. A self-organising feature map is trained to label any set of responses into appropriate categories. We quantify the success of the approach and assess the importance of colour and texture in the seg...

It has become widely accepted that the osmolality gradient along the corticomedullary axis of the mammalian outer medulla is generated and sustained by a process of countercurrent multiplication: active NaCl absorption from thick ascending limbs is coupled with the counterflow configuration of the descending and ascending limbs of the loops of Henle to generate an axial osmolality gradient alon...

background: tramadol overdose is relatively common in iran. a series of tramadol poisoned patients with paresthesia and decreased muscle strength are described. methods: in this prospective cross-sectional study, all referred cases to mashhad medical toxicology center with suspected tramadol poisoning between 1st july 2010 and 1st september 2012 were included. patients with mixed overdose, hist...

objective(s) the objective of this study was to document and explain bilateral differences in the q angle. materials and methods two hundred limbs of healthy adult indian volunteers were studied. the q angle was measured using a goniometric method with the subjects supine, quadriceps relaxed and lower limbs in neutral rotation. the relative lateral placement of the tibial tuberosity with respec...

Using holomorphic surgery techniques, we construct a homeomorphism between a neighborhood of any limb without root point of the Mandelbrot set and a neighborhood of any other of equal denominator, in such a way that the limbs are mapped to each other. On the limbs, the homeomorphism coincides with that constructed in “Homeomorphisms between limbs of the Mandelbrot set” (J. Geom. Anal. 9 (1999),...

Material The views expressed in this paper are based on a study of clinical and morbid anatomical material, personally observed by the writer during the period I938 to I954. It comprises: (i) Clinical records of a series of 122 separate incidents of limb embolism in 69 patients. (2) Records of 48 autopsies on patients of the clinical series. (3) An additional series of 269 patients suffering fr...
