Chi and Mendel [I], [9] analyzed the performance of the minimum-variance deconvolution (MVD). In this correspondence, a further analysis of the performance of the MVD filter is presented. We show that the MVD filter performs like an inverse filter and a whitening filter as SNR + 00, and like a matched filter as SNR + 0. The estimation error e (k) of the MVD filter is colored noise, but it becom...

Abstract The effects of drying on the quality, antioxidant activity and anthocyanin components blueberry pomace were investigated using hot air (HAD), freeze-drying (FD), microwave vacuum (MVD) freeze (MFD). activity, individual compositions evaluated compared with non-dried control. MVD produced highest levels total phenols, anthocyanins, sugars color values in while HAD gave lowest. ABTS + DP...

reported are a total of 81 microsurgical operations for cranial nerve root decompression comprising of 66 trigeminal, 10 facial, one vestibular, one vagus and three accessory nerve dysfunction syndromes from 1983 to 1990. almost all cases of trigeminal neuralgia (tng) secondary to vascular (59 cases) and minute mass (10 cases) compression, and those with hemifacial spasm (hfs) (nine out of 10 c...

Abstract Marburg virus disease (MVD) is a zoonotic viral hemorrhagic illness, caused by negative sense, single-stranded RNA which has an envelope. The belongs to the genus Marburgvirus of family Filoviridae . Due similarities in clinical signs and symptoms seen other diseases, arboviral infections, malaria, MVD difficult diagnose. On February 8, 2023, Equatorial Guinea declared first case MVD, ...

OBJECTIVE For 75% of patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN), the pain can be controlled with medication. For those who fail medication therapy, surgical options include microvascular decompression (MVD), percutaneous radiofrequency rhizotomy (RFR), and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). Few studies have explored the relative cost-effectiveness of these interventions, particularly in surgically n...

OBJECTIVES A retrospective study was undertaken to compare the efficacy of stereotactic gamma knife surgery (GKS) and microvascular decompression (MVD) in the treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia (TN) at a single center. The study included the evaluation of clinical outcomes of pain relief and pain recurrence and complications associated with GKS and MVD. METHODS The study included 202 p...

BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is one of the most prevalent and costly chronic conditions in the United States. Macrovascular disease (MVD) remains a common and costly comorbidity in T2DM. Understanding the impact of MVD on total health care costs in patients with T2DM is of great importance to managed care organizations (MCOs). OBJECTIVE To examine from the perspective of an MCO the impac...

BACKGROUND Tumor angiogenesis is important in the progression of malignancies, and heparanase plays an important role in sustaining the pathology of clear cell renal cell cancer (ccRCC). The study was carried out to investigate the correlations between microvessel density (MVD) and heparanase expression containing prognostic significances in the patients with ccRCC. METHODS Specimens from 128...

Angiogenesis is essential to the survival, growth, invasion, and metastasis of various human solid tumors. We compared the microvessel density (MVD) and clinicopathologic features of two different groups of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), namely HCC with cirrhosis (HCC-C) and without cirrhosis (HCC-NC). A tissue microarray composed of 20 normal livers, 20 cirrhotic livers, tumor and adjacent ba...

Purpose To explore the clinical characteristics of parapapillary deep-layer microvasculature dropout (MvD) associated with parapapillary γ-zone in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Methods A total of 150 eyes with POAG and 75 age- and axial length-matched control eyes, both having parapapillary γ-zone as determined by spectral-domain (SD) optical coherence tomography (OCT), were included. P...
