Many of us at the end of a weekly lupus clinic are tempted to reflect that almost all shades of connective tissue 'overlap' occur, and that it is perhaps pointless to attempt too precise a definition in individual cases. The introduction of the concept of overlap syndromes was a pragmatic way to resolve an imprecise compromise. It represented an attempt to categorise various groups of disorders...

introduction: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) patients are at increased risk of sleep-disorders. the concomitant occurrence of copd and obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (osahs) is named overlap syndrome. this study aimed to evaluate the severity of osahs in overlap syndrome patients.materials & methods: this cross-sectional study was conducted on adult patients with forced...

Hyperspectral sensors provide a large number of spectral bands. This massive and complex data structure of hyperspectral images presents a challenge to traditional data processing techniques. Therefore, reducing the dimensionality of hyperspectral images without losing important information is a very important issue for the remote sensing community. We propose to use overlap-based feature weigh...

Introduction:The overlap syndrome, consisting ofobstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and chronic obstructvie pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major problem in COPD patients. OSHAS corresponds to the likelihood of systemic hypertension.The present study was aimed to evaluate the association between apnea-hypopnea index and diastolic blood presssure (DBP) in overlap  patients. Materials...

We recorded articulatory data to investigate the influence of consonantal coarticulation resistance on consonant-vowel timing in Polish onset clusters. While recent studies found different onset-vowel timing patterns depending on the position of the sibilant within the cluster, it is widely unknown how onset-vowel timing interacts with different degrees of coarticulation resistance of the vowel...
