✓ A series of 210 patients with facial fractures sufficiently severe to require cranial computerized tomography (CT) evaluate suspected closed-head injury (CHI) was studied. The injuries were separated into five grades severity based on neurological examination, including CT. also grouped three categories regional involvement, using chi-square contingency table analysis. data demonstrated that upper at greatest risk for serious CHI. Injuries both the mandibular and midfacial regions no...

We performed this study to describe the CT features of idiopathic multilocular thymic cysts with clinical and histopathologic correlation.Multilocular typically manifest on as unilocular or cystic masses, often soft-tissue attenuation components. cannot be used distinguish neoplastic from nonneoplastic

Abstract Poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerase (PARP) plays an important role in ischaemic cell death, and 3‐aminobenzamide (3‐AB), one of the PARP inhibitors, has a protective effect on stroke. We investigated neuroprotective mechanisms 3‐AB The occlusion middle cerebral artery (MCA) was made 170 Sprague–Dawley rats, reperfusion performed 2 h after occlusion. Another 10 rats were used for sham operation. administered to 85 min before [3‐AB group ( n = 85) vs. control without 85)]. Infarct volume...

This research provides an insight on the performances of machine learning (ML)-based algorithms for estimation energy consumption in metal forming processes and is applied to radial-axial ring rolling process. To define mutual influence between geometry, process settings, mill geometries with resulting consumption, measured terms force integral over processing time (FIOT), FEM simulations have been implemented commercial SW Simufact Forming 15. A total 380 finite element rings ranging from...

This study presents an innovative methodology for preform design in metal forging processes based on the convolution neural network (CNN) algorithm. The proposed approach extracts features of inputted product geometries and utilizes them to derive corresponding shapes by employing weight arrays (filters) determined during convolutional operations. filters are progressively updated training process, emulating learning steps a process engineer responsible processes. system is composed multiple...

Sheets’ buckling instability, also known as oil canning, is an issue that characterizes the resistance to denting in thin metal panels. The canning phenomenon characterized by a depression sheet, caused local buckling, which critical design for aesthetic parts, such automotive outer Predicting instability during stage not straightforward since shape of component might change several times before part sent production and can actually be tested. To overcome this issue, research presents robust...

We report a case of hypereosinophilia causing multiple areas cerebral infarcts. A 52-year-old Korean man presented with dysarthria and weakness in both arms. brain MRI revealed acute infarcts the distal border zone focal intracerebral hemorrhage, whereas angiogram was not remarkable. The eosinophil count 5,500/microL accompanied by elevated cardiac enzyme levels. pattern laboratory results suggest thromboembolic infarction associated hypereosinophilia.

Most intrasellar meningiomas are located in the subdiaphragmatic and supraglandular region because they originate from diaphragma sellae.Subglandular under pituitary gland extremely rare.. Intrasellar subglandular probably dura sellar floor.We report a case of meningioma along with review literature.

Loss of knee cartilage can cause intense pain at the epiphysis and this is one most common diseases worldwide. To diagnose condition, distance between femur tibia calculated based on X-ray images. Accurate segmentation required to assist in calculation process. Several studies have investigated use automatic process, but results are limited value owing complexity knee. address problem, study exploits deep learning for robust not affected by environment. In addition, Taguchi method applied...

Glufosinate ammonium (GLA) is a broad-spectrum herbicide used worldwide. As the use of GLA-containing herbicides has increased, poisoning from incidental and deliberate ingestion also been mostly reported Japan. Most glufosinate events were associated with suicide attempts using BASTA® (Bayer, Leverkusen, Germany). BASTA®, containing (18.5%) anionic surfactant, polyoxyethylene alkylether sulfate (30%), widely in many countries since 1984 (1). to induce central nervous system (CNS) symptoms,...

Purpose: To evaluate post-ablation syndrome after radiofrequency thermal ablation of malignant hepatic tumors. Materials and Methods: Forty-two patients with primary (n=29) or secondary (n=13) tumors under-went ablation. A total 65 nodules ranging in size from 1.1 to 5.0 (mean, 3.1) cm were treated percutaneously using a 50W RF generator 15G expandable needle electrodes. We retrospec-tively evaluated the spectrum including pain, fever(≥38 ℃), nausea, vomiting, right shoulder chest discomfort...

An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the face or scalp is an abnormal connection between feeding arteries and draining veins, without normal capillary bed in subcutaneous layer scalp.The veins may be grossly dilated tortuous, show variceal dilatation (1-5).It generally thought that AVM arises from multiple developmental defects causing primitive to fail persist (6, 7).It also increased arterial pressure flows lead opening normal, latent AV shunts.Local ischemia minor trauma plays a role...

Cerebral air embolisms generally result from invasive procedures such as a percutaneous needle biopsy, chest tube insertion, central venous catheter access or removal, operations and so on. Likewise, they are mostly iatrogenically induced present various degrees of severity depending on the number bubbles. With exception divers, occurrence cerebral embolism in absence is very rare. We report case that developed following defecation was detected by CT patient with extensive pulmonary tuberculosis.

Ectopic thyroid tissue in the lateral neck is an uncommon congenital anomaly, and occurrence of primary follicular carcinoma this ectopic very rare. We report here on such a case arising left without any evidence original gland.

Purpose: To classify types of vertebral hypoplasia and to investigate the prevalence patterns associated disc degeneration. Materials Methods: Defining as occurring when AP diameter a lower body is smaller than that an upper ones, we retrospectively reviewed MR images obtained in 34 cases this condition invloving young adults. Two major two subtypes, total four different entities were classified follows; type I: involving single body; II: serial segmental bodies; subtype a: hypoplastic...

Objective: Delayed hemorrhage progression is one of the most common causes neurologic deterioration after traumatic brain injury (TBI). We herein analyzed risk factors related to delayed in intraparenchymal (IPH) or cerebral contusion. Methods: A retrospective investigation was performed on selected 105 TBI patients with IPH contusion associated other types intracranial hematoma during last 2 years. Clinical features regarding grade, time intervals from initial IPH, and computed tomographic...

Pulmonary involvement is more common in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) than any other connective tissue disease, and half of patients with SLE suffer from respiratory dysfunction during the course their illness. Although sepsis renal disease are most causes death SLE, lung predominant manifestation an indicator overall prognosis. Respiratory may be due to direct or as a secondary consequence effect on organ systems.

Purpose : To demonstrate the MRI findings of olivopontocerebellar atrophy. Materials and Methods We retrospectively reviewed eight patients who had been diag-nosed by clinical manifestation peculiar pattern atrophy signal change on MRI. Results Seven an olive, pons cerebellum increased transverse pontine fiber, median raphe middle cerebellar peduncle T2WI. Of these, six severe decreased basal ganglia, red nucleus, substantia nigra or dentate nucleus Additionally, four a cerebral Except one...

Intracranial lipoma is a rare disease entity accounting for about 0.1-0.5% of all intracranial tumors. More than 50% lipomas are located in the callosal cisterns (1-3). also found other locations including quadrigeminal, superior cerebellar, suprasellar, interpeduncular, cerebellopontine angle, and Sylvian (4-6). An offmidline location an uncommon (3, 7, 8). We report with unusual high parietal convexity along massive calcification no underlying arteriovenous malformation or congenital anomaly.
