Background: In 1991, Wright described a superior oblique expander procedure for browns syndrome and superior overaction with good results. Originally, this procedure has been performed with silicone band expander. The aim of this study was to report the results of treatment of a series of patients with Apattern strabismus associated with overacting superior oblique muscle using the fascia lata ...

We reinforced the bronchial stump with fascia lata and Gelatin Resorcin Formalin (GRF) glue in a right pneumonectomy. This method was found to be simple and useful. We describe our case and the method herein. A 62-year-old woman had a malignant polypoid lesion which completely occluded the introitus of the right main bronchus and deviated to the introitus of the left main bronchus. Right pneumo...

In this paper we propose a constitutive model to analyze in-plane extension of goat fascia lata. We first perform a histological analysis of the fascia that shows a well-organized bi-layered arrangement of undulated collagen fascicles oriented along two well defined directions. To develop a model consistent with the tissue structure we identify the absolute and relative thickness of each layer ...

We propose a constructive algorithm, called the tensor-based Kronecker product (KP) singular value decomposition (TKPSVD), that decomposes an arbitrary real matrix A into a finite sum of KP terms with an arbitrary number of d factors, namely A = ∑R j=1 σj A dj ⊗ · · · ⊗A1j . The algorithm relies on reshaping and permuting the original matrix into a d-way tensor, after which its tensor-train ran...

Deze in achtvormige wijze rond gefixeerd doorheen beentunnel proximale tuberositas tibiae. pees polydioxanone aan gehecht. peesplaat m. tensor fascia lata over en pa...

Alpha-divergence-based nonnegative tensor factorization (NTF) is applied to blind multispectral image (MSI) decomposition. The matrix of spectral profiles and the matrix of spatial distributions of the materials resident in the image are identified from the factors in Tucker3 and PARAFAC models. NTF preserves local structure in the MSI that is lost as a result of vectorization of the image when...

In the description of the dynamics of tensor perturbations on a homogeneous and isotropic background cosmological model, it is well known that a simple Hamiltonian can be obtained if one assumes that the background metric satisfies Einstein classical field equations. This makes it possible to analyze the quantum evolution of the perturbations since their dynamics depends only on this classical ...

A 39-year-old woman was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis when she was 8 years old. Although many treatments - such as cholinesterase inhibitors and steroids - had been given to the patient, her condition did not improve sufficiently. As she demonstrated bilateral 3 mm levator function without any eye movement disturbances, bilateral frontalis sling procedures were performed with an autologous f...
