Migraine frequently co-occurs with depression. Using a large sample of Australian twin pairs, we aimed to characterize the extent to which shared genetic factors underlie these two disorders. Migraine was classified using three diagnostic measures, including self-reported migraine, the ID migraine™ screening tool, or migraine without aura (MO) and migraine with aura (MA) based on International ...

The fusion of the panchromatic (PAN) image with multispectral (MS) images is a very useful tool for remote sensing applications that require both high-spatial and high-spectral resolution. A hybrid fusion method, which comprises of the standard intensity-huesaturation (IHS) transform and a wavelet transform, was recently introduced in the literature. The hybrid fusion method was able to elimina...

IHS ESDU recently published its latest ‘User Guide’ to fouling in heat exchange systems, for systems with fresh water as the coolant. ESDU 07006 [1] is the third in a group, following the development of the Crude Oil Fouling User Guide [2] issued in 2000 and the Seawater Fouling User Guide [3] issued in 2004. ESDU 07006 was developed by IHS ESDU over a period of five years under the guidance of...

BACKGROUND Curcumin has been used as an alternative medicine for the treatment of infantile hemangiomas (IHs); however, the mechanism underlying the effectiveness of curcumin in IHs remains largely unclear. METHODS In this study, we isolated primary human hemangioma endothelial cells (HemECs) from fresh surgical specimens of 3 patients. We treated HemECs by curcumin and investigated the alter...

the synthesis of heat integrated multi-component distillation systems is complex due to its huge search space for structural combination and optimization computation. to provide a systematic approach and tools for the synthesis design of distillation systems, a new method for modeling heat integrated columns is presented, and the operating cost objective function is minimized by improved harmon...

Depression is common among patients visiting primary care clinics. In order to describe the prevalence of depressive syndromes in an American Indian primary care clinic population and to help define the clinical correlates of depressive syndromes in this setting, a clinic-based research study of depression was undertaken by the Indian Health Service (IHS). One hundred and six patients from an I...

Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are the most common tumors of childhood. Unlike other tumors, they have the unique ability to involute after proliferation, often leading primary care providers to assume they will resolve without intervention or consequence. Unfortunately, a subset of IHs rapidly develop complications, resulting in pain, functional impairment, or permanent disfigurement. As a result...

Among the existing image fusion algorithms, Intensity used one. When the IHS method is used for IKONOS imagery, there is a significant color distortion, due mainly to the range of wavelengths in an IKONOS Pan ima regions are far larger than the grey values of intensity (I) and that vegetation appears of relatively high reflectance in Near Infrared (NIR) and Pan bands we propose a new technique ...
