discussion of pathological and clinical matter, for reading papers on scientific subjects, and so forth. Nearly all were strengthened and made more interesting by a social element, in the form of an occasional dinner or supper at private houses, or at some well-known tavern, etc. It seemed to me that these notes were worth a permanent record, not only because they throw light on medical activit...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the frequency of breakfast and other meal consumption by adolescents and to assess the relationship between the first and the last meal consumption and sex, body mass index (BMI), and middle school and high school students' education level. The study was conducted in 2013-2014 among 3009 students (1658 girls and 1351 boys) from middle s and high schools in K...

First, it cannot explain the differences among the writers—unless it is assumed that verbal differences indicate different events. In that case, one would have to say that Jesus was tempted by the devil twice, that the Lord’s Supper was offered twice, and that Peter denied the Lord six to nine times! In fact, one might have to say that Christ was raised from the dead more than once if this were...

Patient medical record systems (MRS) merely offer static applications, in which mostly unstructured text is linked to coded data. In these applications the more common presentation is a time oriented one, which does not allow easily for data and information retrieval. Concept oriented views based on supper-concepts (metaterms) initially defined in CISMeF to optimize Web medical search, was impl...

A new human interface called Virtual Scope has been developed enabling easy operation and display of high-quality computer graphics (CG) data corresponding to an actual picture or painting. The position of the interface operated by the user is detected by sensors and the CG data corresponding to the movement of the interface are displayed as a high-definition image using real-time CG technology...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the comprehension of the scoring system for controlling the serum levels of cholesterol and fat as an instrument of dietary intervention for hypercholesterolemic patients. METHODS The study comprised 153 individuals of both sexes, with ages ranging from 20 to 65 years, who sought medical care in a hospital or in a basic health unit.

An image super resolution reconstruction method was used to improve the spatial resolution of the thick pinhole imaging system and to mitigate the limitations of the image spatial resolution of the hardware of the image diagnostic system. The thick pinhole is usually applied into the diagnostics of the high energy neutron radiation image. Due to the impacts among its energy flux, spatial resolu...
