Focal cortical dysplasias type II (FCD II) are highly epileptogenic lesions frequently causing pharmacoresistant epilepsy. Detection of these lesions on MRI is still challenging as FCDs may be very subtle in appearance and might escape conventional visual analysis. Morphometric MRI analysis is a voxel-based post-processing method based on algorithms of the statistical parametric mapping softwar...

Fifteen compounds reported to be inhibitors of gelation or sickling were studied by standard methods. These tests included (1) the determination of the solubility of deoxyhemoglobin S or Csat, (2) evaluation of sickling in whole SS blood at various pO2s, (3) measurement of the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin and blood, and (4) examination of red cell indices and morphology. Among the 4 noncovalen...

We study the compositional and configurational heterogeneity of Greater London at city- neighbourhood-scale using Geographic Information System (GIS) data. Urban morphometric indicators are calculated including plan-area indices fractal dimensions land cover, frontal area index buildings, evenness, contagion. To distinguish between city-scale heterogeneity, 720 km 2 is divided into 1 [Formula: ...

The paper presents the results of using multiplicative indices for species identification polyploid green toads Central Asia. Live adult individuals Bufotes baturae (24 females and 17 males) from territory Tajikistan B. pewzowi (14 24 Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan were studied. animals caught in nature, measured immediately released. belonging studied was established by cytogenetic methods. According ...

In this study, we present a semi-automatic procedure using Neural Networks— Self Organizing Map—and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission DEMs to characterize morphometric features of the landscape in the Man and Biosphere Reserve “Eastern Carpathians”. We investigate specially the effect of two resolutions, SIR-C with 3 arc seconds and X-SAR with 1 arc second for morphometric feature identification...

     It is widely known that the development of gullies causes the loss of a great amount of soil and can be considered as one of the principal causes of geo-environmental degradation. The study area of the present research is located in the eastern shores of Urmia Lake. This study sought to evaluate the rate of growth and effective factors on the area’s gully dynamic over a year. To achieve th...

in this study, by examining the character of the morphometric and meristic in which cyprinion macrostomus samples obtained from different locality in tigris, morphometric character which are transformed subject to discriminant analysis and depending on grouping model to number of discriminant functions and according to importance of these totally variance, morphogical variance among populations...

A high prevalence of iron deficiency was found in apparently healthy Asian immigrant children in Harrow. After excluding children with overtly abnormal red cell indices, Asian and European children had identical haemoglobin values, but Asian children had much lower mean cell volume and mean corpuscular haemoglobin values and higher red blood cell values.

OBJECTIVE Many state trauma registries contain work-related information but are underutilized for occupational injury research/surveillance. We assessed three methods of identifying work-related injuries in the Washington State Trauma Registry (WTR). METHODS State-designated trauma facilities report traumatic injuries meeting specific inclusion criteria to the WTR. The WTR reports from 1998 t...

OBJECTIVES To explore injured patients' experiences of trauma care to identify areas for improvement in service delivery. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Qualitative study using in-depth, semi-structured interviews, conducted from 1 April 2011 to 31 January 2012, with 120 trauma patients registered by the Victorian State Trauma Registry and the Victorian Orthopaedic Trauma Outcomes Registry ...
