Supermicrosurgical lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) is the most sought-after procedure among lymphedema patients. However, same enthusiasm currently not shared surgeons due to lackluster results of LVA. The common unfavorable experience with this famed at least partially caused by difficulty in finding lymph vessels. We share our time-tested indocyanine green-based vessel mapping technique, ...

Osteoporosis leads to hip fractures in aging populations and is diagnosed by modern medical imaging techniques such as quantitative computed tomography (QCT). Hip fracture sites involve trabecular bone, whose strength is determined by volume fraction and orientation, known as fabric. However, bone fabric cannot be reliably assessed in clinical QCT images of proximal femur. Accordingly, we propo...

Fundamental insights into the properties of a function come from the study of its Moreau envelopes and Proximal point mappings. In this paper we examine the stability of these two objects under several types of perturbations. In the simplest case, we consider tilt-perturbations, i.e. perturbations which correspond to adding a linear term to the objective function. We show that for functions tha...

Injury to the proximal tibiofibular joint is uncommon. Previous studies regarding the anatomy of this region have predominantly focused on joint orientation. As radiographic technology has advanced, later studies have attempted to evaluate the capsular anatomy. However, no reports specifically map the ligaments to this joint. The objectives of the current study were to define specific ligamento...

We consider the problem of minimizing the sum of two convex functions: one is the average of a large number of smooth component functions, and the other is a general convex function that admits a simple proximal mapping. We assume the whole objective function is strongly convex. Such problems often arise in machine learning, known as regularized empirical risk minimization. We propose and analy...

In this writing, first, we disclose the first and second category of a ΓτF-fuzzy proximal contraction for mapping O:U→V which is nonself also declare fuzzy q-property to confirm existence best proximity point function O. Then, discover few results using continuous discontinuous O in non-Archimedean metric space. Later, discuss another result as well. between theorems, many examples are presente...

background and aims. with the introduction of cone beam computed tomography (cbct) in dentistry, a question has been raised whether the technique significantly increases the diagnostic accuracy in comparison with other techniques or not. therefore, the present study was undertaken to assess the accuracy of cbct modality in detecting proximal carious lesions as compared to conventional periapica...

background: colorectal cancer (crc) is the second cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. there have been several studies reporting the proximal tumor shift, especially in western countries. in the present study, we investigated the clinicopathologic and anatomical distributions of colorectal tumors in iranian crc patients. materials and methods: in this retrospective cohort study,258 patient...
