Background: The traditional medicine constitutes an integral part of the culture of the Iranians. After Birjand dental school presented traditional medicine course for dental students for the first time in Iran, this study aimed to evaluate dental students' viewpoints about traditional medicine course. Methods: After approving optional traditional medicin...

BACKGROUND Anatomy in medical curricula is typically taught via pedagogy consisting of didactic lectures combined with a practical component. The practical component often includes traditional cadaveric dissection classes and/or workshops utilizing anatomical models, carefully prosected cadaveric material and radiology. The primary aim of this study was to determine if there is an association b...

An affine equivariant version of the nonparametric spatial conditional median (SCM) is constructed, using an adaptive transformation-retransformation (TR) procedure. The relative performance of SCM estimates, computed with and without applying the TR—procedure, are compared through simulation. Also included is the vector of coordinate conditional, kernelbased, medians (VCCMs). The methodology i...

We study a generalization of the classical median finding problem to batched query case: given an array of unsorted n items and k intervals in the array, the goal is to determine the median in each of the intervals in the array. We give an algorithm that uses O(n log k) comparisons and show a matching lower bound of Ω(n log k) comparisons for this problem.

Atypical connections in the formation of the brachial plexus are prevalent and have been reported in different articles. The present report describes a case of variation of the median nerve observed in the Iranian male cadaver during routine trial dissection. There are three roots for median nerve. Median nerve is formed by joining two lateral and medial cords of brachial plexus. Third root ...

median cleft is the midline cleft of the lip. it develops due to incomplete or failed fusion of the median nasal prominence. it can present with minimal deformities such as involvement of the vermilion border, or complex clefting of the midline structures and brain. median clefts are broadly classified as true and false clefts. this case report describes a rare case of median cleft of the upper...

Let e be an edge of a median graph G which is contained in exactly one 4-cycle. Then it is proved that G n e is a median graph. The converse holds as well provided that e is not contained is a subgraph isomorphic to the 3-cube minus a vertex. These results are used to give several characterizations of median grid graphs. (Grid graphs are subgraphs of complete grids, i.e. of the Cartesian produc...
