We herein report a young patient with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) with clinical and neuroradiological findings of the left maxillary and anterior ethmoid sinusitis. Serial brain MRIs showed cerebral venous infarct and thrombosis in the superior sagittal sinus (SSS). MR angiography demonstrated nonvisualization of SSS and bilateral transverse sinus. According to our knowledge, CVT associate...

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) has been reported as an uncommon and devastating complication of ulcerative colitis (UC), with an annual incidence varying between 0,5 to 6,7%. It is suspected to be a consequence of the hypercoagulable state occurring during disease relapse. We report a case of 22-year-old female patient presenting with CVT revealing an UC. Our case raises the awareness among h...

INTRODUCTION Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a well known but poorly reported entity. Most of the studies and registries related to CVT are reported from European countries. No large multi-center or multi- national data base or registry has been reported from Asian countries. CVT is not uncommon in Asia especially in south Asian subcontinent including India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. One stu...

We offer the first empirical comparison of the pleasure in seeing (i.e., schadenfreude) and in causing (i.e., gloating) others' adversity. In Study 1, we asked participants to recall and report on an (individual or group) episode of pleasure that conformed to our formal definition of schadenfreude, gloating, pride, or joy, without reference to an emotion word. Schadenfreude and gloating were di...

Most existing applications of centroidal Voronoi tessellations (CVTs) lack consideration of the length of the cluster boundaries. In this paper we propose a new model and algorithms to produce segmentations which would minimize the total energy — a sum of the classic CVT energy and the weighted length of cluster boundaries. To distinguish it with the classic CVTs, we call it an Edge-Weighted CV...

We present a novel surface mesh segmentation algorithm that, when combined with the Centroidal Voronoi Tessellation (CVT) remeshing method, produces surface meshes that more closely approximate the input surface mesh than when using CVT alone, using both topological and geometric measures of closeness. By segmenting the input surface before CVT remeshing, fewer triangles are required for the re...

Proteins are selectively packaged into vesicles at specific sites and then delivered correctly to the various organelles where they function, which is critical to the proper physiology of each organelle. The precursor form of the vacuolar hydrolase aminopeptidase I is a selective cargo molecule of the cytoplasm to vacuole targeting (Cvt) pathway and autophagy. Precursor Ape1 along with its rece...

The incidence of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) has dropped dramatically in recent years. In the past, before the introduction of antibiotics, infection was the main cause of CVT. But this is no longer true. Recently, the occurance of septic CVT is rare, which leads to an increased chance of misdiagnosis and treatment delay. Early suspicion and recognition is very crucial to improve mortality...
