Background The spatial normalization (SN) of individual mouse brain PET or MRI onto template space is one prerequisites for precise quantitative analysis positron emission tomography (PET) brains. This has recently been exploited by deep learning-based approaches, but still challenging. Moreover, most them are based on SN using MR templates, which not always available in both clinical and precl...

background: the criteria for the quality control of iranian fresh produce are the total microbial count, enterococcal count and the detection of escherichia coli. the aim of this study was to assess microbial contamination of fresh vegetable and salad samples consumed in tehran, iran. methods: from may to october 2013, freshly vegetable (n=100) and salads (n=100) samples were randomly collected...

aim : the aim of this study was to compare alternatives methods for analysis of zero inflated count data and compare them with simple count models that are used by researchers frequently for such zero inflated data. background : analysis of viral load and risk factors could predict likelihood of achieving sustain virological response (svr). this information is useful to protect a person from ac...

This publication provides a study of the efficacy Tildox AVZ (a combined formulation doxycycline and tylosin) in non-specific bacterial respiratory gastrointestinal pathologies piglets. The population included 70 piglets with randomized into 6 groups. effects investigational drug used according 3-day or 5-day regimen were assessed using clinical examination, as well bacteriological, blood count...

2-Chlorodeoxyadenosine, a new lymphocyte-selective, anti-neoplastic drug was administered to 18 patients with advanced chronic lymphocytic leukemia of B-cell origin. All patients were resistant to conventional treatment. A total of 44 courses of 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine were completed with minimal toxicity. An overall response rate of 55% was achieved with four of 18 patients demonstrating partia...

The authors in this article record their experience with eight-four patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms. Twenty-seven patients (32%) presented with ruptured aneurysms with an overall mortality of 56%. Of the unruptured aneurysms, 67% were operable with a mortality of 5.3%. The highest mortality amongst the patients with ruptured aneurysms was in the group who was shocked. In the group with...

We report a case of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) in a 60 years-old woman with Sjogren's syndrome. Symptomatology on admission leads to evoke the diagnosis of TTP. Biological results allow to set the diagnosis. Actually, association of haemolytic anaemia, schizocytes and thrombocytopenia are in favour of TTP. Undetectable ADAMTS 13 activity (below 5%) confirms the diagnosis. In cong...

In this paper we present a system to locate, extract and recognize Telugu text. The circular nature of Telugu script is exploited for segmenting text regions using the Hough Transform. First, the Hough Transform for circles is performed on the Sobel gradient magnitude of the image to locate text. The located circles are filled to yield text regions, followed by Recursive XY Cuts to segment the ...

A 63-year-old female was incidentally found to have leukocytosis and referred to the hematology service for evaluation. Complete blood count (CBC) revealed neutrophilia with band predominance and mild thrombocytopenia. Peripheral blood flow cytometry was unremarkable without any evidence of lymphoproliferative disorder or myeloblasts. Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy revealed a markedly hyperc...
