In the paper we present a method to estimate relative depth between objects in scenes of video sequences. The information for the estimation of the relative depth is obtained from the overlapping produced between objects when there is relative motion as well as from motion coherence between neighbouring regions. A relaxation labelling algorithm is used to solve conflicts and assign every region...

To the Editor: Ezri et al.1 described serum electrolyte changes following ingestion of cathartics prior to bowel resection surgery. The authors dosed 90 mL of Fleet® Phospho-soda® to their subjects. This is twice the recommended dose of 30–45 mL according to the current professional Fleet® Phospho-soda® labelling.2 Fleet® Phospho-soda® should be used only at the recommended dosage and only in p...

Background Chlamydia trachomatis is considered as an important cause of preventable sexually transmitted diseases worldwide. It is known to be of an obligate intracellular nature and enters its target cells via an endocytic process. As major outer membrane protein (MOMP) is one of the main candidates for the attachment and entry of chlamydia to the host cells we have tried to label the epitopes...

BACKGROUND Nutritional labelling is advocated as a means to promote healthier food purchasing and consumption, including lower energy intake. Internationally, many different nutritional labelling schemes have been introduced. There is no consensus on whether such labelling is effective in promoting healthier behaviour. OBJECTIVES To assess the impact of nutritional labelling for food and non-...

Light and electron microscopic immunocytochemistry was used to identify the cellular and subcellular localisation of urocortin in the adult rat cerebellum. Urocortin immunoreactivity (UCN-ir) was visualised throughout the cerebellum, yet predominated in the posterior vermal lobules, especially lobules IX and X, the flocculus, paraflocculus and deep cerebellar nuclei. Cortical immunoreactivity w...

Abstract: Background: Medication package inserts (MPIs) provides patients with appropriate information on the rational use of drugs. This study evaluated level conformity MPIs regulatory drug labelling requirements and determined readability selected prescription MPIs. Methods: One hundred fifty-six commonly used prescribed antilipidemics, anticonvulsants, anti-diabetes, antiarthritis antihyper...
