Facial nerve schwannomas (FNS) are a rare entity that are poorly reported in literature. Although the estimated prevalence is extremely low, FNS are the most common primary tumor of the facial nerve. FNS occur throughout the course of the facial nerve and its branches, and chorda tympani schwannomas are quite rare. In 2010, Huoh and Cheung reported that seven additional chorda tympani schwannom...

This study focuses on the development of triangular fuzzy numbers, the revising of triangular fuzzy numbers, and the constructing of a HCFN (half-circle fuzzy number) model which can be utilized to perform more plural operations. They are further transformed for trigonometric functions and polar coordinates. From half-circle fuzzy numbers we can conceive cylindrical fuzzy numbers, which work be...

generally, an engineering design problem has multiple objective functions. some of these problems can be formulated as multiobjective geometric programming models. on the other hand,often in the real world, coefficients of the objective functions are not known precisely. coefficients may be interpreted as fuzzy numbers, which lead to a multiobjective geometric programming with fuzzy parameters....

In this paper, a numerical method for nding minimal solution of a mn fullyfuzzy linear system of the form Ax = b based on pseudo inverse calculation,is given when the central matrix of coecients is row full rank or column fullrank, and where A~ is a non-negative fuzzy mn matrix, the unknown vectorx is a vector consisting of n non-negative fuzzy numbers and the constant b isa vector consisting o...

OBJECTIVE To identify the molecular mechanism of post-stroke depression (PSD), and observe the therapeutic effects of cerebellar fastigial nucleus electrical stimulation (FNS) on the behaviors and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in a PSD rat model. METHODS Healthy SD rats were randomly divided into four groups (sham, stroke, post-stroke depress and FNS group). Sham group (n = 6) underwent...

BACKGROUND Although several reports have shown the efficacy of a fluorescence navigation system (FNS) with indocyanine green (ICG) to detect liver malignancies during hepatectomy, the real accuracy of this procedure is not yet clear. This study aimed to analyze the actual efficacy of ICG-FNS in cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic livers. METHODS Ten cirrhotic whole livers explanted from liver transpl...

Functional (conversion) neurological symptoms (FNS) are commonly encountered in neurological and psychiatric clinical settings and represent a considerable burden on healthcare systems. There is a conspicuous paucity of evidence-based treatments for FNS. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) offers a safe, non-invasive method of probing changes in cortical excitability and/or connectivity. It...
