The objective of this study was to determine whether children with nonsyndromic craniosynostosis and plagiocephaly without synostosis demonstrated cognitive and psychomotor delays when compared with a standardized population sample. This was the initial assessment of a larger prospective study, which involved 21 subjects with nonsyndromic craniosynostosis (mean age, 10.9 months) and 42 subjects...

We consider the complexity of approximating the partition function of the ferromagnetic Ising model with varying interaction energies and local external magnetic fields. Jerrum and Sinclair provided a fully polynomial randomised approximation scheme for the case in which the system is consistent in the sense that the local external fields all favour the same spin. We characterise the complexity...

RESULTS: Early data acquisition was plagued by motion artifact and physiologic perturbation confounding the results. The focus of this report compares clean preand post-operative datasets in the same individual; preliminary analysis confirms improved resting state connectivity in both the visual and sensorimotor networks, both in amplitude of BOLD signal and the extent of the networks. Furtherm...

The article is devoted to the surgical treatment of sagittal craniosynostosis in children. Among non-syndromic monosynostosis sagittal craniosynostosis (scaphocephaly) is the most common. Treatment of children with craniosynostosis should begin as soon as possible. Endoscopic method refers to minimally invasive technique in surgical correction of craniosynostosis. This article presents a featur...

The objective of this research is to develop a system for language learning based on a ‘‘minimum’’ of pre-wired language-specific functionality, that is compatible with observations of perceptual and language capabilities in the human developmental trajectory. In the proposed system, meaning (in terms of descriptions of events and spatial relations) is extracted from video images based on detec...

Balcan et al. [3] show that the framework of the random sampling auction of Goldberg et al. [12] gives a generic reduction in the context of unlimited supply profit maximization from mechanism design (e.g., Goldberg et al. [12]) to algorithm design (e.g., Guruswami et al. [14]). One major open question left in [3] is to extend the results to limited supply settings. For the case that the seller...

Abstract Date Presented 04/22/2023 Patients with poststroke spasticity experienced higher mean health care costs than those stroke without spasticity. Earlier identification to optimize treatment of represents an opportunity for cost savings in systems.

1. If SG can be compared with GRACE, considering the resolution of GRACE, there should be “common” signal between the SGs themselves in Europe. The first method is to look for correlation between the SGs, of which the significance can only be tested after removing the annual component 2. Then, we explain that, in the framework of this study, the EOF tool does not provide usable results, with or...

This guideline for care of children with craniosynostosis was developed by a national working group with representatives of 11 matrix societies of specialties and the national patients’ society. All medical aspects of care for nonsyndromic and syndromic craniosynostosis are included, as well as the social and psychologic impact for the patient and their parents. Managerial aspects are incorpora...

The identification of factors that structure intraspecific diversity is of particular interest for biological conservation and restoration ecology. All rangelands in Argentina are currently experiencing some form of deterioration or desertification. Acacia aroma is a multipurpose species widely distributed throughout this country. In this study, we used the AFLP technique to study genetic diver...
