abstract the intraparenchymal schwannomas are very rare tumors with only 52 reported cases . we describe a 38 years old man with eight months history of poorly controlled seizures despite of medical therapy. on brain ct scan a 1.5 x 1.5 cm hypodense enhancing lesion was seen in right posterior-inferior frontal lobe. on brain mri the lesion was hypointense in t1 and hyperintense in t2 with homog...

This is a case report on stereotaxic (Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy-SBRT) for lung cancer located in the left lower lobe (Segment 6, S6). There have been no reports on marked displacement of the peripheral lung cancer during radiotherapy. A pulmonary nodule was discovered on computed tomography (CT) conducted for a persistent cough in an 87-year-old male. According to diagnostic imaging, this ...

Compared with step-and-shoot intensity-modulated radiotherapy (sIMRT) and tomotherapy, volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) allows additional arc configurations in treatment planning and noncoplanar (NC) delivery. This study was first to compare VMAT planning with sIMRT planning, and the second to evaluate the toxicity of coplanar (C)/NC-VMAT treatment in patients with hepatocellular carcino...

the presence of tribolium castaneum (herbst) in a stored food results in contamination and substantial economic damage due to loss of the products and a decrease in nutritional value. this study was conducted to determine the pesticidal and pest repellent activities of roots of laportea crenulata gaud. against t. castaneum. pesticidal activity was determined using surface film method, whereas, ...

epilepsy is the third most common chronic brain disorder which is characterized by an enduring predisposition to generate seizures. mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mtle) is the most common type of refractory epilepsy. increasing evidence indicates that neuroinflammation plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of mtle. hundreds of micro-rnas have been found to be abnormally expressed in epilept...

antenna structures with low side lobe levels are normally the main goal during antenna design. in this paper, a new method for reduction of radiation pattern side lobe level in phased array antenna with uniform and non-uniform weighting is presented. in this method, by changing the array elements weight or adding several elements, such as slc technique, the pattern with low side lobe level can ...

abstract aim and background: evaluation of cognition is fundamental for every comprehensive epilepsy program. we sought to conduct this study to assess memory state of patients with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy before decision for epilepsy surgery. method and materials: in a case-control study, 20 patients with right temporal lobe epilepsy and 20 patients with left temporal lobe epilepsy w...

Recent experiments characterized individual neurons in the human medial temporal lobe with remarkably selective, invariant, and explicit responses to images of famous individuals or landmark buildings. Here, we used a probabilistic analysis to show that these data are consistent with a sparse code in which neurons respond in a selective manner to a small fraction of stimuli.

the ramifications of the portal vein in the liver of horses were studied by using corrosion casting and gross dissection. the portal vein in the horse supplies the hepatic lobes by six major branches. the right lobe is supplied by three main branches, namely the dorsal diaphragmatic, the right caudodorsal and the right intermediate branches. the left branch supplies the left lateral and medial ...

in this research, we have computationally investigated a mechanism for antiepileptic drugs (aed) and proposed bumetanide as a possible temporal lobe epilepsy (tle) treatment. experimentally it is difficult and devastating to determine the ionic mechanisms of depolarizing currents. it is obvious that chlorine and potassium transients are challenging to isolate pharmacologically and much γ-aminob...
