BACKGROUND Previous magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have shown concurrent fornix atrophy in a large proportion of patients with hippocampal atrophy. The contribution of the fornix as an independent preoperative determinant of surgical outcome is unknown. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the contribution of the fornix as a determinant of surgical outcome in patients with preoperatively determine...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Grading of Helicobacter pylori induced atrophic gastritis using the updated Sydney system is severely limited by high interobserver variability. The aim of this study was to set up a quantitative test of gastric corpus mucosal atrophy in tissue sections and test its reproducibility and correlation with the Sydney scores of atrophy. METHOD Mucosal atrophy was assessed in 124 ha...

  This cross-sectional study planned to Investigate the prevalence of varicocele among students aged 14 to 17 years in Kerman. Six hundred students were chosen by multi-stage sampling and they were examined for presence of varicocele. The highest rate of prevalence was seen among 17 year old (13.33℅) and the lowest (6.67℅) in 14 year old students. 2.16℅ of the cases suffered from varicocele gr...

An efficient brain segmentation technique of magnetic resonance image (MRI) is proposed for the sake of atrophy detection. Early detection of brain atrophy indicates many neurodiseases. The paper also proposes a new simple assessment for brain atrophy as an atrophy ratio measure. Experiments on cognitive normal and atrophied MRI Brain images demonstrate the promising segmentation results of the...

The Forkhead box O (FoxO) transcription factors are activated, and necessary for the muscle atrophy, in several pathophysiological conditions, including muscle disuse and cancer cachexia. However, the mechanisms that lead to FoxO activation are not well defined. Recent data from our laboratory and others indicate that the activity of FoxO is repressed under basal conditions via reversible lysin...
