We show that populations of visually responsive cells in the anterior part of the superior temporal sulcus (STSa) of the macaque monkey code for the sight of both specific articulated body actions and the consequent articulated static body postures. We define articulated actions as actions where one body part (e.g. a limb or head) moves with respect to the remainder of the body which remains st...

conclusions these findings emphasize the potential clinical benefits of therapeutic procedures such as cardiac resynchronization therapy (crt) or apex-sparing volume-reduction surgery in dcm. a better definition of the role and implications of reverse apical torsion in dcm and its importance and effectiveness in making therapeutic decisions like crt implantation requires further studies. case p...

We investigate two-dimensional higher derivative gravitational theories in a Riemann-Cartan framework. We obtain the most general static black hole solutions in conformal coordinates and discuss their geometry. We also consider the hamiltonian formulation of the theory and discuss its symmetries, showing that it can be considered as a gauge theory of a non-linear generalizations of the 2-dimens...

torsion of the gallbladder is a relatively rare surgical disease which mimics acute cholecystitis' symptoms that usually would not be respondable to medical therapies. the torsion would mostly be diagnosed intra-operatively. cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice. in general in our centre, general surgery department, imam reza hospital, mashhad, iran, since 1986 over 14000 cholecystect...

UNLABELLED Subjective visual vertical (SVV) evaluates the individual's capacity to determine the vertical orientation. Using a neck brace (NB) allow volunteers' heads fixation to reduce cephalic tilt during the exam, preventing compensatory ocular torsion and erroneous influence on SVV result. OBJECTIVE To analyze the influence of somatosensory inputs caused by a NB on the SVV. METHOD Thirt...

torsion and infarction of the greater omentum are two rare clinical situations which present as an acute abdomen. nevertheless, knowledge concerning these two problems can help the surgeon in proper diagnosis and treatment. since the first report on primary torsion by eitel in 1899, a few hundred more have been reported and some collective reviews published to date. in this study we will presen...

The mechanical response and failure mechanism of commercially pure titanium subjected to combined tension-torsion loading are studied experimentally at strain rates ranging from 10?3 s?1 103 s?1. A novel split Hopkinson bar (TTHB) equipped with a high speed camera was utilised during high-rate experiments, while quasi-static tests were conducted using universal screw-driven machine. multiaxial ...

– It is shown that the gravitational redshift as predicted by Einstein’s theory is modified in the presence of a second-rank antisymmetric tensor (Kalb-Ramond) field in a string-inspired background spacetime. In the presence of extra dimensions, the RandallSundrum brane world scenario is found to play a crucial role in suppressing this additional shift. The bound on the value of the warp factor...

Background The aim of this study was to determine oxidative stress (OS) parameters after testicular torsion/detorsion in adult rats. MaterialsAndMethods In this experimental study, male adult Wistar rats were divided into four groups, each consisting of seven animals: group I-one hour right testicular torsion with subsequent orchiectomy, group II-one hour right testicular torsion followed by de...
