This paper discusses results and methods used to automatically classify medical images for Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) systems. Using a supervised learning approach, we automatically classified over 3,000 medical images according to the four facets of IRMA classification code (that's image modality, body orientation, biological system, and anatomical part). Our best results were obtain...

Abstract. In view of the high vulnerability small islands Lesser Antilles to cyclonic hazards, realistic very fine scale numerical simulation hurricane-induced winds is essential prevent and manage risks. The present innovative modeling aims at combining most realistically simulated strongest gusts driven by tornado-scale vortices within eyewall complex terrain effects. Weather Research Forecas...

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—The Irbesartan Microalbuminuria Type 2 Diabetes in Hypertensive Patients (IRMA) 2 study was a 2-year multicenter randomized double-blind trial comparing irbesartan (150 and 300 mg once daily) with placebo. We studied a subgroup of 50 patients where urine samples were available for analysis of albumin and the oxidatively modified guanine nucleosides 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-...

L’écrivaine péruvienne Irma del Águila, dans La isla de Fushía, s’attaque en toute liberté à un texte canonique : casa verde Mario Vargas Llosa. Elle choisit porter sur le monde la Selva regard féministe, s’appropriant ainsi éminemment masculin, que symbolise personnage roman transgénérique, entre fiction et témoignage. L’hybridité étant peut-être ce qui définit mieux l’écriture transfictionnel...

We studied 145 clinically euthyroid patients on maintenance methadone therapy for narcotic withdrawal, to characterize abnormalities in thyroid-function tests induced by methadone. About a third had increased total thyroxin (T4) and total triiodothyronine (T3) concentrations in serum. The mean concentrations of T3, T4, and thyroxin-binding globulin (TBG) in serum were significantly greater (P l...

Commercial kits give different measurements for concentrations of growth hormone (GH, somatotropin) in serum. Most notably, a two-site monoclonal-antibody-based immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) from Hybritech routinely yields lower values than do conventional RIAs in which polyclonal antibodies are used. We used purified dimeric biosynthetic human GH as a model compound to investigate the specifi...
