Corneal ring segments (INTACS) for the treatment of asymmetrical astigmatism of the keratoconus. Follow-up after 2 years
(Masson Editeur, 2003)
Objective: To evaluate the use of corneal ring segments (INTACS) for the treatment of asymmetrical astigmatism in keratoconus. Material and methods: This prospective study involved nine eyes of seven patients who were ...
Unconditional maximum likelihood approach for localization of near-field sources in 3-D space
(IEEE, 2004)
Since maximum likelihood (ML) approaches have better resolution performance than the conventional localization methods in the presence of less number and highly correlated source signal samples and low signal to noise ...
Cognitive impairment in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: evidence from neuropsychological investigation and event-related potentials
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2002)
The presence of subclinical cognitive impairment in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is investigated using neuropsychological assessment and event-related potential recordings (ERP). An extensive battery ...
Jonson and the alchemical economy of desire: creation defacement and castration in the 'Alchemist'
(Univ Paul Valery, 2002)
Behind images of Ben Jonson as the virtuous centred stoic writer lie the traces of a morbid fear concerning the fate of the poet's creation and name. The Jonsonian oeuvre reveals a fear of the ultimate defacement and ...
Surgical treatment of tachyarrhythmias due to postinfarction left ventricular aneurysm with endoaneurysmorrhaphy and cryoablation
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2002)
Objective: In this study the efficacy of left ventricular (LV) endoaneurysmorrhaphy and cryoablation without intraoperative electrophysiologic mapping was evaluated in patients with postinfarction LV aneurysm and sustained ...
The role of oxygen saturation measurement and body mass index in distinguishing between non-apnoeic snorers and patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2002)
The aim of this study was to examine the role of oxygen saturation (SaO(2)) measurement in identifying apnoeic snorers from non-apnoeic snorers and in the assessment of the severity of obstructive sleep apnoea. Ninety-two ...
Monostotic fibrous dysplasia of the clivus: MRI and CT findings
(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 ...
Intravertebral vacuum phenomenon that developed during transpedicular biopsy
(W.B. Saunders Co Ltd, 2002)
[Abstract Not Available]
Fault-tolerant training of neural networks in the presence of MOS transistor mismatches
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2001)
Analog techniques are desirable for hardware implementation of neural networks due to their numerous advantages such as small size low power and high speed. However these advantages are often offset by the difficulty in ...
Electrical activity regulates AChR gene expression via JNK PKC zeta and Sp1 in skeletal chick muscle
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2001)
Electrical activity of myotubes represses nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) gene expression. This effect is mimicked by okadaic acid and blocked by tetrodotoxin (TTX) or staurosporine in cultured myocytes [Altiok et ...
