We have undertaken a clinic-based survey of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSDs) in Australia and New Zealand to establish incidence prevalence across the region populations differing ancestry.NMOSD is recently defined demyelinating disease central nervous system (CNS). The NMOSD has not been established.Centres managing patients with CNS reported clinical laboratory features that were suspicious for NMOSD. Testing aquaporin 4 antibodies was all suspected cases. From this group,...
Objectives: To assess the margins required for excision of lentigo maligna (LM) and melanoma (LMM) by technique mapped serial (MSE), to efficacy MSE.Design: An interventional, prospective, noncontrolled case series.
Background and purpose Physical activity is associated with a reduced incidence of first‐time stroke. However, few studies have examined the effect pre‐stroke physical on post‐stroke complications clinical outcomes. Methods A total 39 835 cases stroke registered in nationwide registry system Taiwan between 2006 2009 were analyzed according to five levels severity as determined by National Institutes Health Stroke Scale score upon hospital admission. Pre‐stroke was defined Registry dedicated...
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) and multiple sclerosis (MS) show overlap in their clinical features. We performed an analysis of relapses with the aim determining differences between two conditions. Cases NMOSD age- sex- matched MS controls were collected from across Australia New Zealand. Demographic information, including relapse histories, recorded using a standard questionnaire. There 75 cases 101 controls. 328 375 Spinal cord optic neuritis attacks most common both MS....
Abstract Background Lichen planus ( LP ) is a chronic inflammatory disorder with unknown aetiology. The association between and various autoimmune diseases has been reported, but nationwide study of the relationship associated quite limited. Objective Our aims to clarify variety in Taiwanese. Methods Data were obtained from National Health Insurance Research Database NHIRD Taiwan 1997 2011. In total, 12 427 patients 49 708 age‐ gender‐matched controls enrolled. Results Among , there...
Thyroid orbitopathy is characterized by spontaneous remissions and exacerbations. Although data on the natural history are scarce, active phase usually self-limited, encompassing an average period of 18-36 months. Late reactivation, defined as occurring after more than 5 years quiescent disease, appears to be uncommon poorly documented event. The aim present study was assess incidence characteristics late reactivation thyroid within a tertiary referral orbital clinic.A retrospective case...
Being highly maintainable is the key to reducing approximately 75% of most systems' life cycle costs. Software maintainability defined as ease with which a software system or component can be modified, correct faults, improve performance other attributes, adapt changed environment. There exist metrics that help developers measure and analyze level project objectively. Most these involve automated analysis code. In this extended abstract paper, we addressed importance understanding...
Open Source Software (OSS) is distributed and maintained collaboratively by developers all over the world. However, frequent personnel turnover lack of organizational management makes it difficult to capture actual development effort. Various OSS maintenance effort estimation approaches have been developed provide a way understand estimate The goal this study identify current state art existing for OSS. We performed systematic literature review on relevant studies published in period between...
Abstract Background Previous studies have shown that patients with psoriasis a higher risk of depression. However, the major depressive disorder ( MDD ) among unaffected siblings probands remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate and siblings. Methods We selected subjects from National Health Insurance Research Database NHIRD in Taiwan. Subjects were followed up 01 January 1996 until diagnosis , death or 31 December 2011. The Breslow–Cox model was used calculate adjusted relative aRR...
In open software development environment, a large number of feature requests with mixed quality are often posted by stakeholders and usually managed in issue tracking systems. Thoroughly understanding analyzing the real intents that imply is labor-intensive challenging task. this paper, we introduce an approach to understand automatically. We generate set fuzzy rules based on natural language processing techniques classify each sentence into categories: Intent, Explanation, Benefit,...
BackgroundA range of ocular pathology exists during pregnancy.Some pre-existing eye conditions, such as diabetic retinopathy, can be exacerbated pregnancy.Other conditions manifest for the first time pregnancy a result complications pre-eclampsia and eclampsia.Early recognition understanding management ophthalmic is crucial. ObjectiveThe aim this article to discuss physiological pathological changes in eyes pregnant women.Pathological are sub-divided into: 1) modified pregnancy, 2) occurring...
<i>Objective:</i> To describe the ophthalmology findings in patients with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). <i>Methods:</i> Data source and subjects: 7 consecutive admitted to a tertiary stroke unit CAA-related hemorrhage, confirmed on magnetic resonance brain imaging gradient echo sequences by 2 independent neuroradiologists. Design: case series. Measurements data analysis: fundus colored photographs fluorescein angiography. <i>Results:</i> All showed...
Links between issue reports and corresponding fix commits are widely used in software maintenance. The quality of links directly affects maintenance costs. Currently, such mainly maintained by error-prone manual efforts, which may result missing links. To tackle this problem, automatic link recovery approaches have been proposed building traditional classifiers with positive negative However, these not perform well due to the inherent characteristics Positive links, can be build model, quite...
Beyond the functional requirements of a system, software maintainability is essential for project success. While there exists large knowledge base maintainability, this rarely used in open source due to number developers and inefficiency identifying quality issues. To effectively utilize current practice requires deeper understanding how problems associated with different qualities arise change over time. In paper, we sample 6000 real bugs found from several Mozilla products examine...
Abstract In our INCOSE IS 2015 paper, “An Initial Ontology for System Qualities,” (SQs), we provided an IDEF5 class hierarchy of upper‐level SQs, where the top level reflected classes stakeholder value propositions (Mission Effectiveness, Resource Utilization, Dependability, Flexibility), and next identified means‐ends enablers higher‐level SQs. experimenting with, refining formalizing ontology, focused on a depth‐first approach chosen SQ: Maintainability. It is key to reducing 75% most...
