We explored fronto-temporal connectivity using fMRI of patients and controls generating inner speech. Method The subjects were eight schizophrenic patients in remission recruited from the wards and clinics of the Maudsley Hospital, and 8 controls matched for age, sex and IQ. Diagnosis was made by clinical interview and case-note review, using DSM IV criteria. All subjects were trained to overtl...

A 34 year old woman with malaise, polyuria and nocturia as well as nausea and vomiting referred to perform a thyroid scan due to right thyroid lobe mass. The scan showed a cold nodule in the right thyroid lobe. Serum calcium of 16.9, serum phosphorus of 1.8 and PTH of 1156 were noticed in laboratory tests. Parathyroid scan with 99mTc-MIBI showed no abnormal tracer activity in the nec...

Background and Objectives: Gliomas are the most prevalent subgroup of primary brain tumors with a relatively high mortality. However, oligodendrogliomas have a better prognosis compared to other subtypes due to their sensitivity to chemotherapy. Considering the low incidence and the resulting lack of information about oligodendrogliomas, particularly i...

over a period of four years, we followed 200 male cases (female patients were excluded from this study because from early childhood, the majority of iranian girls have their ears pierced which tends to distort the ear lobe and renders the diagnosis of the crease difficult) of proved coronary artery disease (angina pectoris, coronary insufficiency, and myocardial infarction) in a private clinic ...

In the recent years, the optimization techniques using evolutionary algorithms have been widely used to solve electromagnetic problems. These algorithms use thinning the antenna arrays with the aim of reducing the complexity and thus achieving the optimal solution and decreasing the side lobe level. To obtain the optimal solution, thinning is performed by removing some elements in an array thro...
