Background. Glomus Tympanicum is the commonest middle ear neoplasm. Total removal through conservative middle-ear surgery is the gold standard of treatment. Variable surgical techniques have been reported with modifications. Hypothesis. Using endoscopes improves diagnosis and surgical removal of glomus tympanicum. Study design. Prospective case series. Methods. Examination of ears with suspecte...

INTRODUCTION Glomus body is an apparatus present in the skin at the arterio-venous junction whose main function is to control the body temperature. Hyperplasia of the glomus body results in an entity called glomus tumor. Masson described this entity first in 1924, as a tumor of the neuromyoarterial body. Due to its symptoms, it is of ten misdiagnosed and wrongly treated which adds burden to the...

People hope that computers can be in constant intelligence development. Just like humans, they ”see” the world and ”recognize” a visual event. We propose an approach based on computer vision methods to recognize Human-Object interaction(HOI). The technique stands aggregating significant contextual features interactions scene recognition. design branch architecture consisting of main for HOI det...

A comprehensive understanding of human-object interaction (HOI) requires detecting not only a small portion predefined HOI concepts (or categories) but also other reasonable concepts, while current approaches usually fail to explore huge unknown (i.e., combinations verbs and objects). In this paper, 1) we introduce novel challenging task for understanding, which is termed as Concept Discovery; ...

Introduction: Glomus tumor is a benign and rare neoplasm that appears as solitary and painful nodule, mainly subungual. It presents characteristic clinical manifestations such as paroxysmal pain and sensitivity to local pressure and to cold. Objective: To conduct a clinical epidemiological survey of glomus tumors diagnosed in a reference unit in 16 years. Methods: Retrospective study assessing ...

This study characterizes the molecular and phylogenetic identity of fungi involved in arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) associations in extant Huperzia and Lycopodium (Lycopodiaceae). Huperzia and Lycopodium are characterized by a life cycle with long-lived autotrophic sporophytes and long-lived mycoheterotrophic (obtain all organic carbon from fungal symbionts) gametophytes. 18S ribosomal DNA was is...

To treat patients with a catecholamine-secreting glomus jugulare tumor, perioperative management is important. Perioperative catecholamine hypersecretion causes severe problems in the treatment of a catecholamine-secreting glomus tumor. Therefore, a precise therapeutic strategy and perioperative management are required through collaboration of the endocrinology, anesthesiology, and endocrine su...

Paragangliomas, also known as glomus tumours or chemodectomas, are neuroendocrine tumours that originate from glomus cells in paraganglia. They are derived from the embryonal neural crest. The cells are part of the sympathetic nervous system and serve as chemoreceptors. They are located in the vascular adventitia of blood vessels which include the carotid bodies in the carotid artery bifurcatio...
