A popular score normalization technique termed T-norm is the central focus of this paper. Based on widely confirmed experimental observation regarding T-norm tilting the DET curves of speaker detection systems, we set out to identify the components taking role in this phenomenon. We claim that under certain local assumptions the T-norm performs a gaussianization of the individual true and impos...

OBJECTIVE The first study to predict peritrochanteric fractures by the use of T scores amongst the Indian population was performed. This study aimed to assess the risk of fracture around the hip in peri-menopausal and postmenopausal women, and in men over the age of 35 years using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, and to analyse whether the result, i.e. the T score, can predict an impending hip...

INTRODUCTION Growth failure is a common feature of children with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. Children who are treated with mono or dual nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) therapy show a temporary increase in weight gain and linear growth rate. In adults, protease-inhibitor-containing antiretroviral therapy is associated with a sustained weight ...

objective(s) bone is a dynamic tissue that is continuously renewed throughout life by the process of bone remodeling. antioxidant system might be involved in the pathogenesis of bone loss, so the aim of this study was to evaluate the total antioxidant capacity (tac), vitamin c and vitamin e levels of plasma besides measuring enzymatic antioxidants, superoxide dismutase (sod), catalase (cat) and...

background:  clavicle fractures are common and usually heal without complications. in this study, we evaluated the outcomes of non-operative versus operative management of displaced fractures.   methods:  in a prospective clinical trial study, sixty-five patients with displaced clavicle mid-shaft fractures were nonrandomly divided in two treatment groups. the first group underwent non-operative...

BACKGROUND BoneXpert (BX) is a newly developed medical device based on digital X-ray radiogrammetry to measure human cortical bone thickness. The aim of this study was to quantify cortical bone loss of the metacarpals in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and compare these findings with other radiological scoring methods. METHODS The study includes 104 patients with verified PsA. The BX ...

background: some studies have shown the possible role of protein‑energy malnutrition (pem) in persistence of endemic goiter in iodine replenished areas. the present study was conducted to assess the association between pem and goiter in schoolchildren of isfahan, iran. methods: in a cross‑sectional study using multistage cluster random‑sampling, 2331 schoolchildren with age ranged from 6‑13 yea...
