BACKGROUND Intra-hepatic recurrence following hepatic resection is the primary challenge for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the long-term results of multimodality treatment of patients with intra-hepatic recurrent HCC following hepatic resection. METHODS From January 1995 through December 2001, a total of 846 patients who underwent ...

Multimodality small-animal molecular imaging has become increasingly important as transgenic and knockout mice are produced to model human diseases. With the ever-increasing number and importance of human disease models, particularly in rodents (mice and rats), the ability of high-resolution multimodality molecular imaging instrumentation to contribute unique information is becoming more common...

conclusions according to our multimodality imaging approach, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was the most probable diagnosis. case presentation we describe a 73-year-old woman referred to us for consultation because of a giant negative t wave on her electrocardiography. echocardiography revealed diffuse severe hypertrophy associated with hypertrophied anterolateral papillary muscles with a bifid he...

Recent publications on multidimensional scaling express contradicting opinion on multimodality of STRESS criterion. An example has been published with rigorously provable multimodality of STRESS. We present an example of data and the rigorous proof of multimodality of SSTRESS for this data. Some comments are included on widely accepted opinion that minimization of SSTRESS is easier than minimiz...

IMPORTANCE The etiology and optimal treatment are unknown for angiosarcoma, an aggressive malignant tumor that affects vascular endothelial cells and can be mistaken for benign lesions such as hemangioma. OBJECTIVE To determine the treatment outcomes of patients with angiosarcoma of the face or scalp treated with a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and/or chemotherapy. DESIGN, SETT...

ewing’s sarcoma is a common malignancy of the bone and soft tissues in pediatric patients. it mostly affects the long bones and pelvis, and less commonly the flat bones and vertebrae. primary ewing's sarcoma affecting the spine is very rare. the patient has non-specific symptoms for a prolonged period of time before the correct diagnosis is given. patients can present with acute paraplegia due ...

In this paper we define our position regarding current research questions in the field of designing speech and multimodal interactions for mobile and wearable applications. Our argumentation is organized in three areas reflecting our following basic research questions questions: (1) what are the benefits that can emerge through multimodality, (2) how can these benefits be considered in the syst...

OBJECTIVE The arrival of precision medicine plan brings new opportunities and challenges for patients undergoing precision diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors. With the development of medical imaging, information on different modality imaging can be integrated and comprehensively analyzed by imaging fusion system. This review aimed to update the application of multimodality imaging fusi...
