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 ...

(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 ...

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 ...
