BACKGROUND Dopamine agonists are widely used in the treatment of pituitary prolactinomas. We report a case of inferior mesial frontal lobe (gyrus rectus) and chiasmal herniations into an enlarged sella following successful medical treatment of a pituitary macroadenoma. METHOD A 71-year-old healthy man presented to medical attention with visual complaints. On examination, he was found to have ...

A 29-year-old man presented with a chief complaint of lateral blindness in the left eye at 4 months after an accidental fall. His best corrected visual acuity was 0.7 in the left eye and 1.0 in the right eye. Visual field test showed a complete bitemporal hemianopic defect without any neurologic symptoms. An orbital computed tomography scan with non-enhancement conducted at the time of the visi...

A bitemporal deductive database is a deductive database that supports valid and transaction time. A set of facts to be inserted and/or deleted in a bitemporal deductive database can be done in a past, present or future valid time. This circumstance causes that the maintenance of database consistency becomes more hard. In this paper, we present a new approach to reduce the difficulty of this pro...

Past research work on modeling and managing temporal information has, so far, failed to elicit support in commercial database systems. The increasing popularity of XML offers a unique opportunity to change this situation, inasmuch as XML and XQuery support temporal information much better than relational tables and SQL. This is the important conclusion claimed in this paper where we show that v...

Introduction: The inferiorly and laterally based platysma myocutaneous flap contains hair in some ethnics; therefore, it is required to change the myocutaneous flap to myofascial flap to prevent the hair growth after its transfer to the oral cavity.   Materials and Methods: Five male mongrel dogs were selected for this study. De-epithelialized laterally based platysma fl...

In recent years, change detection (CD) using deep learning (DL) algorithms has been a very active research topic in the field of remote sensing (RS). Nevertheless, CD developed so far are mainly focused on generating two-dimensional (2D) maps where planimetric extent areas affected by changes is identified without providing any information corresponding elevation variations. The aim this work i...

Background: The standard methods for reconstruction of soft tissue defects in the leg include gastrocnemius flap for proximal third defects, soleus flap for middle third and free flap in the distal third. However, there are problems with the use of free flap, like increased operative time, damage of major vessels and the need for experienced microsurgeon. Mathods: This prospective study was und...
