this study was conducted to evaluate how neuroimaging procedures (mri, spect) could be used in clinical setting for diagnosis of dementia.forty out of 94 patients suspected of having a diagnosis of dementia, referred to radiology department for consecutive neuroimaging procedures, were selected. patients’ medical records reviewed anda retrospective diagnosis was reached according to dsm-iv for ...

Genicular nerve radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has recently gained popularity as an intervention for chronic knee pain in patients who have failed other conservative or surgical treatments. Long-term efficacy and adverse events are still largely unknown. Under fluoroscopic guidance, thermal RFA targets the lateral superior, medial superior, and medial inferior genicular nerves, which run in clos...

Abstract New sustainable strategies for preserving plants are crucial tackling environmental challenges. Bioinspired soft and miniature machines have the potential to operate in forests agricultural fields by adapting their morphology plant organs like leaves. However, applications on leaf surfaces limited due fragility heterogeneity of leaves, harsh outdoor conditions. Here, we exploit strong ...

Notice that best proximity point results have been studied to find necessaryconditions such that the minimization problemminx∈A∪Bd(x,Tx)has at least one solution, where T is a cyclic mapping defined on A∪B.A point p ∈ A∪B is a best proximity point for T if and only if thatis a solution of the minimization problem (2.1). Let (A,B) be a nonemptypair in a normed...

This research-in-progress paper presents a new approach called Link Proximity Analysis (LPA) for identifying related web pages based on link analysis. In contrast to current techniques, which ignore intra-page link analysis, the one put forth here examines the relative positioning of links to each other within websites. The approach uses the fact that a clear correlation between the proximity o...
