An association between cognitive dysfunction, neurological soft signs, enlarged brain ventricles and widened cortical sulci has been reported in schizophrenia. The present work aimed to study the relevance of positive and negative dichotomy with relation to neuropsychological performance of the schizophrenic patients, and the presence of neurological soft signs. In 23 schizophrenics patients di...

Real-time computed sonography was used to monitor ventricular size in kittens with experimentally induced hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus was induced by cisternal kaolin injection in newborn kittens in order to study the effects of both hydrocephalus and subsequent ventriculoperitoneal shunting on the morphology of brain tissue. When severe hydrocephalus was achieved, marked physical and neurologi...

Cerebral venous thrombosis is a potentially lethal disease. Early diagnosis is essential to improve its prognosis. However, its early diagnosis based on conventional imaging modalities remains a challenge in clinical settings. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether bright sinus appearance on arterial spin-labeling perfusion-weighted image (ASL-PWI) could help identify cerebral venous...

in this work, we define a fuzzy soft set theory and its related properties. we then define fuzzy soft aggregation operator that allows constructing more efficient decision making method. finally, we give an example which shows that the method can be successfully applied to many problems that contain uncertainties.

The Chinese economy showed the sign of overheating in the spring of 1993. As a countermeasure of overheating, the Chinese government began to implement a retrenchment program in July 1993 and the program lasted until 1997. The economic growth rate did not drop sharply because the program resulted in a soft-landing. The economic growth rate began a gradual slowdown in 1995 but has been maintaine...

Malignant mesenchymomas are rare soft tissue tumors of mesenchymal origin. We report a case of pleural localization with liposarcomatous, leiomyosarcomatous and osteocartilaginous elements. The treatment associated surgical resection, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Sixteen months after the diagnosis a metastatic retroperitoneal sarcoma with osteosarcomatous differentiation appeared without any ...

The optical layout of soft X-ray grating compressors designed to provide both positive and negative group-delay dispersion (GDD) is discussed. They are tailored for chirped-pulse-amplification experiments with seeded free-electron laser sources. Designs with plane or concave gratings are discussed, depending on the sign of the GDD to be introduced.

in this paper, based in the l ukasiewicz logic, the definition offuzzifying soft neighborhood structure and fuzzifying soft continuity areintroduced. also, the fuzzifying soft proximity spaces which are ageneralizations of the classical soft proximity spaces are given. severaltheorems on classical soft proximities are special cases of the theorems weprove in this paper.

Background and Objective: Chronic renal failure (CRF) may have many effects on nervous system and manifest as headache, seizure, dialysis disequilibrium syndrome, cerebral hemorrhage, hypertensive encephalopathy, uremic neuropathy, and some neurologic complications of transplantation. In this present study we investigate neurologic disorders in children with CRF. Methods: In this descriptive...
