A method is presented for tomographic imaging using time delay of broad band microwave signals passing through objects of varying electrical properties. Time delay imaging is mathematically equivalent to that of conventional planar X-ray tomography. The experimental setup for transit time tomography consists of a circular table with vertically polarized bi-conic horns as transmitting and receiv...

Intensity value-based registration is a widely used technique for the spatial alignment of medical images. Generally, the registration transformation is determined by iteratively optimizing a similarity measure calculated from the grey values of both images. However, such algorithms may have high computational costs, especially in the case of multi-modality registration, which makes their integ...

Background: Generally, conservative interventions including physiotherapy modalities and manual therapy have been recommended in the management of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), but this subject has not been studied in diabetic patients with CTS. Therefore the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of manual therapy on diabetic patients with CTS. Methods: Thirty diabetic patients with...

The strategy for managing unerupted teeth has been debated for more than half a century. Duration of treatment, adverse responses, and type of surgical procedure and mechanotherapy to align ectopically positioned teeth has been analyzed, with disparate approaches endorsed. This report will describe the most frequent adverse problems encountered with management of unerupted teeth and suggest a m...

objective(s): glioblastoma is the most lethal tumor of the central nervous system. here, we aimed to evaluate the effects of exogenous delivery of p53 and a nanoformulation of curcumin called dendrosomal curcumin (dnc), alone and in combination, on glioblastoma tumor cells. materials and methods: mtt assay was exploited to measure the viability of u87-mg cells against dnc treatment. cells were ...

We tested whether conceptual processing is modality-specific by tracking the time course of the Conceptual Modality Switch effect. Forty-six participants verified the relation between property words and concept words. The conceptual modality of consecutive trials was manipulated in order to produce an Auditory-to-visual switch condition, a Haptic-tovisual switch condition, and a Visual-to-visua...
