An< accurate, stable and very fast corner finder (for feature based vision) has been developed', based on a novel definition of corners, using:no image derivatives. This note describes the algorithm and the results obtained from its use.

A patient is described who presented with left upper lobe collapse due to endobronchial metastatic prostate carcinoma. Treatment with the oral antiandrogen cyproterone acetate resulted in resolution of the occluding endobronchial carcinoma and lobar re-expansion.

The effects of the s.c. administration of a depot formulation of the luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogue Zoladex were studied in normal male rats, alone and in combination with three drugs with "antiandrogenic" action (ketoconazole, cyproterone acetate, and RU 23908) on prostatic weight and on circulating hormone levels in order to investigate whether these antiandrogens might...

A model for computing image ow in image sequences containing a very wide range of instantaneous ows is proposed. This model integrates the spatio-temporal image derivatives from multiple temporal scales to provide both reliable and accurate instantaneous ow estimates. The integration employs robust regression and automatic scale weighting in a generalized brightness constancy framework. In addi...

Transsexualism is defined as a strong conviction of belonging to the opposite sex in individuals without any physical intersex condition. Cross-sex hormone therapy is an important component of medical treatment of transexuals but it is not exempt from adverse effects. We report a case of a meningioma in a male-to-female transsexual patient treated with estrogens and cyproterone acetate for the ...

Cyproterone has antiandrogenic, antigonadotropic, and progestagenic activity. High-dose preparations are used for treatment of prostate cancer and for treatment of hypersexuality. We describe a patient who was referred to our clinic with slowly progressive unilateral proptosis and blindness of the left eye. He had been treated with high-dose cyproterone actate (CPA) for 23 years. An obvious pro...

The results of a previous 4-mo study in azaserine-treated rats and BOP-treated hamsters indicated that orchiectomy inhibited pancreatic growth and development of putative preneoplastic lesions in the exocrine pancreas of rats but not hamsters. This 12-mo study was carried out to investigate the effects of orchiectomy, alone and in combination with testosterone, and of treatment with cyproterone...

In vivo and in vitro effects of thyroidal hormones (MIT, DIT, T3, T4), propyl thiouracil (PTU), testosterone and cyproterone acetate were studied on the rate of tissue (liver, muscle, kidney and brain) respiration of adult male C. batrachus during winter and summer/rainy seasons. Monoiodotyrosine (MIT) and diiodothyrosine (DIT) increased the respiratory rate in a dose-dependent and temperature-...
