Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is a new method and its true risk of fetal loss and complications is not still clearly determined. The objective of this study was to review the clinical pregnancy outcome of transabdominal CVS (TA-CVS) performed on women with minor beta thalassemia. TA-CVS performed on 300 women with a singleton pregnancy and we could follow 213 women until delivery. Data regard...

The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility computer vision system (CVS) application in fat content estimation for different types fermented sausages. Four local sausages with contents were studied: Njeguška, Kulen, Pirotska and tea sausage. Results obtained CVS-estimated content were compared results traditional chemical analysis. Relative errors of estimation ...

BACKGROUND Epicardial left ventricular (LV) idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) can be approached via the pericardial space, the coronary venous system (CVS), or other surrounding structures. The anatomic relationships between epicardial sites of origin (SOO) of VAs and surrounding anatomic structures have not been systematically described. METHODS AND RESULTS In 17 patients with idiopat...

The hippocampus is a brain region that is particularly susceptible to structural and functional changes in response to chronic stress. Recent literature has focused on changes in gene transcription mediated by post-translational modifications of histones in response to stressful stimuli. Chronic variable stress (CVS) is a rodent model that mimics certain symptoms of depression in humans. Given ...

AIM In an earlier study we have shown that transcervical chorionic villus sampling in excess of 90 mg increases the risk for hemangiomas of infancy three- to four-fold compared to amniocentesis. In the present study we investigated whether transabdominal chorionic villus sampling (TA-CVS), in which the samples are smaller, carries the same risk. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospectively, data were...

Purchases are driven by consumers' product preferences and price considerations. Using caloric vestibular stimulation (CVS), we investigated the role of vestibular-affective circuits in purchase decision-making. CVS is an effective noninvasive brain stimulation method, which activates vestibular and overlapping emotional circuits (e.g., the insular cortex and the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)...
