BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to assess the intra-articular patterns in the rotational deformities of bucket handle meniscal tears (BHMTs) based on arthroscopic findings and their clinical relevance. METHODS From 2004 to 2009, 42 patients with a BHMT diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging underwent arthroscopic surgery. The arthroscopic data (all procedures were recorded) were eva...

Despite differences in oncological behavior, the 8th edition of AJCC TNM staging currently proposes same N-classification for major salivary glands (MSG) carcinoma and squamous cell upper aerodigestive tract. The present study aims to investigate a more reliable definition N-categories MSG carcinoma. A retrospective multicenter was performed, including 307 patients treated primary from 1995 201...

Sense classification of discourse relations is a sub-task of shallow discourse parsing. Discourse relations can occur both across sentences (inter-sentential) and within sentences (intra-sentential), and more than one discourse relation can hold between the same units. Using a newly available corpus of discourse-annotated intra-sentential conjoined verb phrases, we demonstrate a sequential clas...

conclusion results reinforced the pivotal role of vascular geometry, with respect to hemodynamics, together with the importance of performing patient-specific cfd analyses, through which the effect of different blood flow conditions on the aneurysm hemodynamics could be evaluated. objectives this study aimed to investigate the effects of variations in heart rate and internal carotid artery (ica...

This paper addresses issue of sensitivity of efficiency classification of variable returns to scale (VRS) technology for enhancing the credibility of data envelopment analysis (DEA) results in practical applications when an additional decision making unit (DMU) needs to be added to the set being considered. It also develops a structured approach to assisting practitioners in making an appropria...

Along with the popularity of Internet Things (IoT) techniques several computational paradigms, such as cloud and edge computing, microservice has been viewed a promising architecture in large-scale application design deployment. Due to limited computing ability devices distributed IoT, only small scale data can be used for model training. In addition, most machine-learning-based intrusion detec...

DNA barcoding based on a standardized region of 648 base pairs of mitochondrial DNAsequences from Cytochrome C Oxidase 1 (COX1) is proposed for animal species identification.Recent studies suggested that DNA barcoding has been effective for identifying 94% of birdspecies. The proposed threshold of 10 times the average intraspecific variation could be used forthe identification and delimitation ...

It is generally accepted that gene regulation serves an important role in determining the phenotype. To shed light on the evolutionary forces operating on gene regulation, previous studies mainly focused on the expression differences between species and their inter-specific hybrids. Here, we use RNA-Seq to study the intra-specific distribution of cis- and trans-regulatory variation in Drosophil...
