Abstract Background and aim Standard single antiplatelet regimen (SAPT) is currently recommended before invasive risk stratification in non-ST elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS). However, there are subsets whom dual therapy (DAPT) may be more protective according to the anatomy revascularization strategy. We aimed identify pre-procedural predictors of artery complexity that helpful s...

INTRODUCTION Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the femoral condyle is a rare lesion. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study (level IV evidence) analyzing a series of 40 pediatric cases with juvenile femoral condyles osteochondritis treated by arthroscopic multiple transchondral drilling between February 1999 and June 2008 was undertaken. This lesion affected the medial condyle in 87.5% ...

This abstract briefly describes a segmentation algorithm developed for the ISIC [1] 2017 Skin Lesion Detection Competition hosted at [2]. The objective of the competition is to perform a segmentation (in the form of a binary mask image) of skin lesions in dermoscopic images as close as possible to a segmentation performed by trained clinicians, which is taken as ground truth. This project only ...

Lameness, hoof lesion development and behaviour were compared for two groups of 10 heifers: one in early pregnancy (PH), the other in early lactation (LH). Both groups were housed in the summer in cubicles under identical conditions. Behavioural observations commenced immediately after housing, and then at 2, 4 and 6 weeks post-housing. Locomotion scores were assessed weekly, and feet were exam...

To investigate the association between locomotion score and types of hoof lesion, cows from 91 selected dairy herds in southern Chile were studied. The locomotion score was recorded for all of the lactating cows (n=10,699). The mean prevalence of lame cows, when all locomotion scores >1 were included was 33.2% in large herds and 28.7% in small herds. There were 39.7%, 42%, 17.9% and 0.4% cows w...

IMPORTANCE Chronic, intractable neuropathic pain is a common and debilitating consequence of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) myelitis, with no satisfactory treatment; few studies have yet to explore its aetiology. OBJECTIVE To establish if myelitis-associated chronic pain in NMOSD is related to the craniocaudal location of spinal cord lesions. METHOD (1) Retrospective cohort ...

s of papers 19 early subclinical immunosuppression when given to embryos without maternal antibody, since they caused significant microscopic lesions in the bursae (mean lesion scores of 4 on a scale 1 to 4). However, all bursae from the vaccinated birds did show significant regeneration at 3 weeks of age (mean scores of 2 to 3).

Research is needed to validate lesions recorded at meat inspection as indicators of pig welfare on farm. The aims were to determine the influence of mixing pigs on carcass lesions and to establish whether such lesions correlate with pig behaviour and lesions scored on farm. Aggressive and mounting behaviour of pigs in three single sex pens was recorded on Day -5, -2, and -1 relative to slaughte...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of our study was to determine the functional and neuroanatomic correlates of poststroke depressive symptoms. METHODS Patients with consecutive admissions to a regional stroke center for new-onset unilateral hemispheric stroke who met World Health Organization and National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke criteria were eligible...
