OBJECTIVE The role of Doppler ultrasonography in the diagnosis of diffuse thyroid diseases is not well established. In particular, Doppler ultrasonography findings in children with Hashimoto's thyroiditis are very limited. We examined gray-scale and Doppler ultrasound findings in Hashimoto's thyroiditis in children in an attempt to understand the feasibility of future prospective controlled stu...

PURPOSE To present anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) findings of the Kayser-Fleischer (KF) ring in Wilson disease (WD) and to discuss the potential advantages of evaluating the KF ring by AS-OCT. METHODS This is a retrospective case series of 7 patients with WD with KF rings seen in our institute during the study period (August 2015 to June 2016). All patients underwent s...

In this study, the effect of a scale-aware convective parameterization scheme (CPS) on simulation heavy precipitation in gray-zone was investigated using Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. We performed WRF simulations with Kain–Fritsch (KF) (non-scale-aware), Multiscale (MSKF) (scale-aware), explicit convection (i.e., no CPS). The MSKF uses parameter that modulates available potentia...
