Small cell carcinoma is predominantly found in the lung and only about 5% of small cases have been noted to be extrapulmonary; these are commonly esophagus, pancreas, skin, uterus, breast. A head neck origin for extremely rare. Both pulmonary extrapulmonary carcinomas usually a good response chemotherapy initially, but poor prognosis finally. We report here case nasopharynx. The patient underwent irradiation disease, died metastasis 38 months later.

Automatically generating medical reports from retinal images is a difficult task in which an algorithm must generate semantically coherent descriptions for given image. Existing methods mainly rely on the input image to descriptions. However, many abstract concepts or cannot be generated based information only. In this work, we integrate additional help solve task; observe that early diagnosis process, ophthalmologists have usually written down small set of keywords denoting important...

With the rapid development of wireless communication, mobile users are able to manually switch their network interfaces different types networks. The IEEE 802.21 Draft Standard was proposed integrate Media Independent Handover (MIHs) between interfaces, such as WiFi, WiMAX, 3GPP, and 3GPP2. However, it may not hold seamless roaming character does provide security mechanism.In this paper, we propose an efficient handover mechanism among WiFi WiMAX networks meet by reducing authentication...

Purpose Optic neuritis is highly correlated with multiple sclerosis and a major cause of acute visual loss long-term neuronal degeneration. Primary cerebral hypoperfusion has been reported in brain demyelinating diseases. This study investigated whether peripapillary perfusion changed patients optic (AON). Methods three-year cohort was conducted from September 1 2012, to August 31, 2015. Two hundred forty-one non-glaucomatous neuropathy were screened, 42 non-highly myopic who had suffered...

To report the clinical course and treatment response in a cohort of patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) from single referral center Taiwan.

We conducted a retrospective group study to evaluate the potential systemic risk factors for major postoperative complications of cataract surgery. Individuals diagnosed with (n = 2046) and without 8184) serious after surgery were matched 1:4 age, sex, index date obtained using Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database. The outcome was defined as at least one new inpatient or outpatient diagnosis disease year before date. effect demographic data on also analyzed in multivariable...

To report a rare case of severe atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) in patient who presented with vitreous hemorrhage and tractional retinal detachment (TRD) both eyes. our knowledge, this is the first reported HUS complicated bilateral TRD literature.A 20-year-old man demonstrated visual acuity hand motion at 30 cm.Dilated fundus examination revealed diffuse intraretinal vascular engorgement, neovascularization disc, elsewhere bilaterally. Fluorescein angiography proliferative...

The aim of this study was to investigate whether exogenous erythropoietin (EPO) administration attenuates N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-mediated excitotoxic retinal damage in Wistar rats. survival rate ganglion cells (RGCs) were investigated by flat mount analysis and flow cytometry. A total 125 male rats randomly assigned five groups: negative control, NMDA80 (i.e., 80 nmoles NMDA intravitreally injected), + 10ng EPO, 50ng 250ng EPO. EPO treatment group used evaluate various administrated...

Abstract Two 2,7-dicyaonfluorene-based molecules 27-DCN and 27 - tDCN are utilized as acceptors (A) to combine with hexaphenylbenzene-centered donors (D) TATT DDT-HPB for probing the exciplex formation. The photophysical characteristics reveal that steric hindered -tDCN not only can increase distance of D A, resulting in a hypsochromic emission, but also dilute concentration triplet excitons suppress non-radiative process. -based exciplex-forming blends exhibit better photoluminescence...
