Association of lipoprotein(a) concentration and apo(a) isoform size with restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Springer Verlag, 2000)Lp(a) is a unique class of lipoprotein particles that exhibits a considerable size heterogeneity resulting from the size polymorphism of apo(a) its unique protein component. An elevated level of Lp(a) in plasma has been proposed to be a risk factor for premature development of coronary artery disease. To evaluate the relationship between Lp(a) concentration and apo(a) isoform size with restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty Lp(a) levels and apo(a) phenotypes were determined ...

Monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the clivus: MRI and CT findings
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Springer Verlag, 2002)Fibrous dysplasia is a developmental disorder caused by abnormal proliferation and maturation of fibroblasts resulting in replacement of mature bone by structurally weak immature woven bone. Clival involvement in monostotic fibrous dysplasia is extremely unusual and has rarely been reported previously. We report a case of monostolic fibrous dysplasia of the clivus with special emphasis on the imaging findings and differential diagnosis.

Support vector regression for surveillance purposes
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Springer Verlag, 2006)This paper addresses the problem of applying powerful statistical pattern classification algorithm based on kernel functions to target tracking on surveillance systems. Rather than directly adapting a recognizer we develop a localizer directly using the regression form of the Support Vector Machines (SVM). The proposed approach considers to use dynamic model together as feature vectors and makes the hyperplane and the support vectors follow the changes in these features. The performance of the ...
