This paper is directed to the question of how to model and design an efficient tool for the intelligent mapping which is based on both dynamic and efficient storage of data and soft computing. The former is performed by our method that learns how to store, search and delete the data. After pointing out the limitation of the crisp evaluation of the distance between two points, we argue in favor ...

Human brain tumors such as glioblastomas are typically detected using conventional, nonquantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, such as T2-weighted and contrast enhanced T1-weighted MRI. In this manuscript, we tested whether dynamic quantitative T1 mapping by MRI can localize orthotopic glioma tumors in an objective manner. Quantitative T1 mapping was performed by MRI over mult...

malignant germ-cell tumors (mgct) are rare tumors of childhood accounting for less than 3% of pediatric malignancies. endodermal sinus tumor (est) forms the most common histologic subtype of mgct. the vagina is an extremely rare site for gcts. an 8-month-old female was admitted with a short history of vaginal bleeding, and a mass protruding from the vagina. she was pale and a mass was palpable ...

Symposium title: Non-invasive brain stimulation in pediatric epilepsy: Diagnostic, biomarker, and therapeutic applications of TMS description: Many diagnostic approaches for epilepsy require invasive approaches. However, populations, non-invasive are preferred. Hence, centers have begun using the (NIBS) technique transcranial magnetic (TMS) functional, mapping eloquent cortex prior to surgery. ...

Vulvar cancer is a rare gynecological malignancy with mainly lymphatic spread. Sentinel node mapping plays an important role in the management of this gynecological malignancy. In the current study, we reported our experience in sentinel node mapping of vulvar cancer and review the literature accordingly. Since the introduction of sentinel node mapping to the surgical oncology community of our ...

background: alteration in peripheral blood lymphocytes (pbls) is usually investigated to provide an evidence of the host immune responses to tumor antigens. the tumor infiltrating nk cells interact most closely with the tumor cells and more accurately reflect tumor host interactions. objective: to analyze peripheral blood and tumor associated natural killer (nk) cells in patients with breast ca...

Background: Besides motor and language function, tumor resections within the frontal and parietal lobe have also been reported to cause neuropsychological impairment like prosopagnosia. Objective: Since non-navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has previously been used to map neuropsychological cortical function, this study aims to evaluate the feasibility and spatial discrimination...
