A cross-sectional area (CSA) and thickness reduction of the abductor hallucis (AbH) is shown in subjects with hallux valgus (HV). To date, other soft-tissue structures have not been researched in relation with HV. The aim of this study was to compare the CSA and thickness of the intrinsic plantar muscles and fascia (PF) between feet with and without HV. Therefore, a cross-sectional and case-con...

Abstract We present a theory of turbulence elasticity, which follows from delayed response of drift waves (DWs) to zonal flow (ZF) shears. It is shown that when |hV iZF |/ !k > 1, with |hV iZF | the ZF shearing rate and !k the local turbulence decorrelation rate, the ZF evolution equation is converted from a di↵usion equation to a telegraph equation. This insight provides a natural framework fo...

The largest class of hyperstructures is the Hv-structures, introduced in 1990, which proved to have a lot of applications in mathematics and several applied sciences, as well. Hyperstructures are used in the Lie-Santilli theory focusing to the hypernumbers, called e-numbers. We present the appropriate e-hyperstuctures which are defined using any map, in the sense the derivative map, called thet...

Many people exposed to torture later suffer from torture-related post-traumatic stress disorder (TR-PTSD). The aim of this study was to analyze the morphologic and functional brain changes in patients with TR-PTSD using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET). This study evaluated 19 subjects. Thirteen subcortical brain structures were evaluated using FSL softwar...

INTRODUCTION Although prostatitis is a common male urinary tract infection, clinical diagnosis of prostatitis is difficult. The developmental mechanism of prostatitis is not yet unraveled which led to the elaboration of various biomarkers. As changes in asparagine-linked-(N-)-glycosylation were observed between healthy volunteers (HV), patients with benign prostate hyperplasia and prostate canc...

First published September 21, 2006; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.00770.2006.—In humans, hyperventilation (HV) has various effects on systemic physiology and, in particular, on neuronal excitability and synaptic transmissio...

We present high sensitivity maps of the High Velocity (HV) CO emission toward the molecular outflows around IRc2 and Orion–S in the Orion A molecular cloud. The maps reveal the presence of HV bullets in both outflows with velocities between 40-80 km s−1 from the ambient gas velocity. The blue and redshifted CO HV bullets associated with the IRc2 outflow are distributed in thin (12′′ − 20′′, 0.0...

Hyperstructure theory was born in 1934 when Marty [19] defined hypergroups as a generalization of groups. Let H be a non-empty set and let ℘∗(H) be the set of all non-empty subsets of H. A hyperoperation on H is a map ◦ : H ×H −→ ℘∗(H) and the couple (H, ◦) is called a hypergroupoid. If A and B are non-empty subsets of H, then we denote A◦B = ∪ a∈A, b∈B a◦b, x◦A = {x}◦A and A◦x = A◦{x}. Under c...
