In this study, the success of different satellite images and classification approaches in land cover (LC) were compared. A total six images, including two passive (Landsat 8 OLI (L8) Sentinel-2 (S2)) four fused from active (Sentinel-1(S1)-VH VV polarization) (L8-S1-VH, L8-S1-VV, S2-S1-VH S2-S1-VV) used study. For purpose, L8, S2, L8-S1-VH, S2-S1-VV classified according to three ((Maximum Likeli...

BACKGROUND transient left ventricular ballooning syndrome (TLVBS) has been recently recognised as an acute disease mimicking myocardial infarction. AIM we used greyscale and virtual histology (VH) intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to study the presence and characteristics of atherosclerotic plaque in the left anterior descending (LAD) artery in patients with TLVBS. METHODS the study populatio...

PURPOSE To assess the factors influencing multiparametric (MP) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging accuracy in estimating prostate cancer histologic volume (Vh). MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective database of 202 patients who underwent MP MR imaging before radical prostatectomy was retrospectively used. Institutional review board approval and informed consent were obtained. Two independent radio...

BACKGROUND Visceral hypersensitivity (VH) is a common condition in many gastrointestinal disorders such as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) in human and animals. Most studies often induce Crohn's disease/colitis to investigate VH in small experimental animals. Although farm animals commonly suffer from IBDs, their VH has not been investigated so far. Because goats can suffer from Johne's dise...

A cDNA clone was constructed from a mRNA encoding an anti-GAT (Glu60 Ala30 Tyr10) BALB/c monoclonal antibody heavy chain. Its sequence, covering codons -5 to 162 and therefore encompassing the complete V-D-J region, was determined. Surprisingly, the sequence of the VH gene-encoded region was almost identical with that of the BALB/c VH anti-HNP (4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl) acetyl VH region, suggest...

Despite having several characteristics of naı̈ve B cells, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells have been shown in some cases to have somatically mutated Ig variable region genes, indicating that the cell of origin has passed through the germinal center. A previous study of patients with CLL found an association between lack of somatic mutation and trisomy 12 and, therefore, possibly with a l...

Visual hallucinations (VH) occur commonly in Parkinson's disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) but are reported much less frequently in other neurodegenerative causes of parkinsonism, such as progressive supranuclear palsy, multiple system atrophy and corticobasal degeneration syndrome. This clinical sign may be helpful when considering the differential diagnosis of patients with par...

Although the dorsal hippocampus (DH) and the ventral hippocampus (VH) densely innervate the nucleus accumbens, which mediates the expression of behavioural sensitization, the respective and specific contribution of DH and VH in the expression of behavioural sensitization to amphetamine has not been investigated. In the present study, we investigated how lidocaine infused in DH or VH modulated b...

The spinal cord is critical for modifying and relaying sensory information to, and motor commands from, higher centers in the central nervous system to initiate and maintain contextually relevant locomotor responses. Our understanding of how spinal sensorimotor circuits are established during in utero development is based largely on studies in rodents. In contrast, there is little functional da...

Recent evidence has suggested that the dorsal (DH) and the ventral (VH) poles of the hippocampus are structurally, molecularly and functionally different regions. While the DH is preferentially involved in the modulation of spatial learning and memory, the VH modulates defensive behaviors related to anxiety. Acute restraint is an unavoidable stress situation that evokes marked and sustained aut...
