Most of the image retrieval systems are still incapable of providing retrieval result with high retrieval accuracy and less computational complexity. Image Retrieval technique to retrieve similar and relevant Computed Tomography (CT) images of lung from a large database of images. During the process of retrieval, a query image which contains the affected area / abnormal region is given as an in...

The vertex Readiness Potential (RP) (Bereitschaftspotential) preceding self paced voluntary movements is reduced in duration and amplitude in patients with Parkinsonism. It cannot be used as an index for delayed initiation of movement. The negative potential is commonly replaced by a positive slow wave. In hemi-Parkinsonism, the abnormal RP is more apparent on moving the affected limb. The abno...

We present a new computational model for the development of task-specific focal dystonia. The purpose of the model is to explain how altered sensory representations can lead to abnormal motor behavior. Dystonia is described as the result of excessive gain through a sensorimotor loop. The gain is determined in part by the sensory cortical area devoted to each motor function, and behaviors that l...

Dear Editor, We have recently had the chance to observe the abnormal presence of a long isolated white hair in the groin area of a Caucasian healthy 49-year-old male university professor. The professor visited our office due to an irritant eczema in the groin area after a long run on a humid day and we could observe, by chance, the presence of this abnormal hair being 8–10 cm long ( fig. 1 ), i...
