OBJECTIVE Theobjective of this study was to determine the indications, utility, advantages and surgical approach for the anteromedial thigh (AMT) flap. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed the records of the patients in whom the AMT flap was used for head and neck reconstruction. We use an anterior approach to harvest the anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap with a non-committal straight line incision...

In this paper, I argue for the use of Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT) in language research. AMT is an online marketplace of paid workers who may be used as subjects, which can greatly increase the statistical power of studies quickly and with minimal funding. I will show that—despite some obvious limitations of using distant subjects—properly designed experiments completed on AMT are trustworthy, ...

An order parameter description of the Anderson-Mott transition (AMT) is given. We first derive an order parameter field theory for the AMT, and then present a mean-field solution. It is shown that the mean-field critical exponents are exact above the upper critical dimension. Renormalization group methods are then used to show that a random-field like term is generated under renormalization. Th...

Purpose: To compare the outcome of amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) versus autologus limbal stem cell transplantation (LSCT) in the management of recurrent pterygium. Setting: Suez Canal University Hospital, Ophthalmology Department, Ismailia, Egypt. Methods: This is a comparative prospective case series study included forty two eyes with recurrent pterygia. They were equally and randoml...

purpose: to compare outcomes and recurrence rates of amniotic membrane transplantation (amt) plus intraoperative mitomycin c (mmc) and conjunctival rotational autograft (cra) plus intraoperative mmc in pterygium surgery methods: ninety-two eyes of 92 patients with primary nasal pterygium were enrolled. all patients were randomized to undergo either amt or cra. forty-three patients underwent amt...

UNLABELLED α-(11)C-methyl-L-tryptophan (AMT) PET allows evaluation of brain serotonin synthesis and can also track upregulation of the immunosuppressive kynurenine pathway in tumor tissue. Increased AMT uptake is a hallmark of World Health Organization grade III-IV gliomas. Our recent study also suggested decreased frontal cortical AMT uptake in glioma patients contralateral to the tumor. The c...
