Left-Sided Strokes Are More Often Recognized Than Right-Sided Strokes

Left-sided strokes are more often recognized than right-sided strokes: the Rotterdam study.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Left-sided strokes are reported to be more common than right-sided strokes, but it is unknown whether they occur more often or are simply recognized more easily by clinicians. In a large unselected community-dwelling population, we examined the frequency of clinical left- and right-sided strokes and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) and compared it with the frequency of l...

Right-sided vs left-sided colorectal cancer.

AV In the analysis of the Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB)/SWOG 80405 trial that we presented at the 2016 annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), we defined right-sided colon cancer as cancer of the cecum and the ascending colon up to the hepatic flexure. Left-sided colon cancer comprises cancer of the splenic flexure and cancer in regions distal to the splenic fl...

Removal of interfering strokes in double-sided document images

This paper addresses a special problem with historical document images where handwritten characters from the reverse side appear as noise on the front side and even interfere with the front side characters. A novel method to extract clear textual images from interfering and overlapping areas of text is presented here. The proposed algorithm is interesting in that, with an observation that the e...

Laterality: Right-Sided and Left-Sided Colon Cancer

Colorectal cancer (CRC) can be characterized by the location of the primary tumor being within the colon [1]. Right-sided colon cancer (RCC) is derived from the embryologic midgut, including the proximal two-thirds of the transverse colon, ascending colon, and cecum. Left-sided colon cancer (LCC) is derived from the embryologic hindgut, which includes the distal third of the transverse colon, s...
