Background: Fine needle aspiration cytology is an important tool in the diagnosis, prognosis and management of breast carcinoma. It has been recommended that cytological grading should be included in the FNA reports to know the tumor aggressiveness and prognostication. Among the many cytological grading systems existing, there is still no agreement on the most reliable system. Aim: The study wa...

Abstract There are numerous words across languages expressing similarity or indistinguishability. In this paper, three types of expressions in German and English compared— ähnlich / similar , so/such gleich same . They differ a number respects, one them being gradability: While ähnlich/similar gradable, as well gleich/same not. The analysis paper starts from the so demonstrative (instead identi...

abstract p u rpose: this study aimed to correlation between the grading stenosis and the start back screening tool (sbst) in patients diagnosed with lumbar central canal stenosis (lccs). methods: in a prospective clinical study, a total of 269 patients with lccs were asked to respond to the questionnaire at their first visits. grading of lccs on mri was determined and also the severities of the...

background: gliomas are the most common primary neoplasms of the central nervous system. relative cerebral blood volume (rcbv) could estimate high-grade gliomas computed with dynamic susceptibility contrast mr imaging which it is artificially lowered by contrast extravasation through a disrupted blood-brain barrier. objectives: our intent was to clarify the usefulness of diffusion-weighted magn...

This paper presents a modeling scheme for objects containing multiple materials or functionally graded materials (FGM), i.e. heterogeneous objects. The material composition variations under this modeling scheme are controlled by some reference features termed as “grading sources”. The “grading source” gathers the type of grading, position of grading and a material grading function for controlli...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Fine needle aspiration (FNA) material is increasingly being used to determine various prognostic parameters in patients with carcinoma breast. It was recommended that cytological grading should be part of all FNA reports of breast carcinoma so that preoperative prognostication could be done on it. However, the most reliable method for cytological grading that closely ref...

Although intertester and intratester reliability have been common themes in Functional Movement Screen (FMS) research, the criterion validity of manual grading is yet to be comprehensively examined. This study compared the FMS scores assigned by a certified FMS tester to those measured by an objective inertial-based (IMU) motion capture system. Eleven female division I collegiate athletes perfo...
