The sparse representation-based classification (SRC) has been proven to be a robust face recognition method. However, its computational complexity is very high due to solving a complex l(1)-minimization problem. To improve the calculation efficiency, we propose a novel face recognition method, called sparse representation-based classification on k-nearest subspace (SRC-KNS). Our method first ex...

S30 ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND / VOLUME 6 / SUPPLEMENT 1 / AUGUST 2017 Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi, India Background: Glue injection of large fundal varices (>2 cm) may be associated with embolic complications. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided coiling with or without glue injection may be safe as coil may act as a scaffold to prevent embolization. Objectives: To find out the outcome of seque...

Islands of gastric mucosa often occur in the terminal, and less frequently in the cervical oesophagus (Stout and Lattes, 1957), but, conversely, the presence of heterotopic islands of oesophageal epithelium lin the gastric fundus has been observed only occasionally (Boswell and Helwig, 1965; Altschuler and Shake 1966), and Hermann (1911) reported an area of stratified epithelium, 3 mm long, nea...

BACKGROUND/AIMS The objective of our study was to identify useful computed tomography (CT) findings for differentiating fundal type adenomyomatosis from localized chronic cholecystitis involving the fundus of the gallbladder. METHODS We retrospectively identified cases of 41 patients with pathologically proven adenomyomatosis (n=21) or chronic cholecystitis (n=20) who had fundal thickening of...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine whether women with intrauterine devices (IUDs) embedded in the myometrium or cervix have a narrower fundal transverse endometrial diameter as seen on 3-dimensional (3D) sonography compared to women whose IUDs are in a normal location. METHODS A sonographer blinded to the study hypothesis retrospectively evaluated the 3D images and reconstru...

Obestatin is a hormone released from the stomach deriving from the same peptide precursor as ghrelin. It is known to act as an anorectic hormone decreasing food intake, but contrasting results have been reported about the effects of obestatin on gastrointestinal motility. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether this peptide may act on the gastric longitudinal smooth muscle by us...

Uterine myoma is a benign tumor originating from the smooth muscle of uterus. In general, uterine myomas are asymptomatic and found incidentally during ultrasound examination pregnancy. We report that 39-year-old woman with GIIP1001 admitted she was 40 weeks pregnant came complaints intermittent abdominal pain started at 04.00 in morning, getting worse 2 hours before MRS. Complaints accompanied...

The patient was a low birth weight infant with a history of renal failure. She was referred to our department 29 days after birth to undergo fundus examination. She experienced renal failure after undergoing a mydriatic test and needed medical treatment. Eyedrops containing phenylephrine were instilled several times and additional drops were also instilled during the fundal examination using an...

OBJECTIVE To examine urinary retention as an underreported complication of uterine leiomyoma. Reproductive-aged women with uterine leiomyoma often describe pelvic pressure and menorrhagia, however few complain of complete urinary retention. STUDY DESIGN We dis-cuss the cases of 8 women who presented to our emergency room with acute urinary retention over a 4-year period. RESULTS Patients ha...
