Kochukhov: The Doppler imaging problem is intrinsically ill-conditioned. It is not correct to characterize this problem by the number of unknowns. We are using regularization, and regularization effectively introduces a set of additional equations which smoothes the map in our case; in the case of the maximum entropy method, it selects an image with maximum entropy. So actually if I count equat...

Background: One of the most important issues is the best method to teach embryology course to medical students. Small group discussion (SGD) were used to working together, integral to learningdeveloping intellectual skills and interactive learning experience.

Background: Bacterial meningitis remains a source of substantial morbidity and mortality in childhood. During the last decades gradual changes have been observed in the epidemiology of bacterial meningitis, related to the introduction of new polysaccharide and conjugate vaccines. The study presents an overview of the epidemiological patterns of acute bacterial meningitis in a tertiary children ...
