A case of bilateral intraosseous tumor of the calcaneus with different MRI imaging is presented. On the left, radiological findings suggest intraosseous lipoma, but on the right-sided lesion, imaging studies were not convincing. The microscopic report showed foreign body granulomatous reaction, a rare clinical pathological discordant.

The purpose of this study was to provide basic quantitative data to minimize the injury occurring during forward breakfall by the comparative analysis of biomechanical factors through 3D motion analysis, analysis of ground reaction force, and EMG analysis of the forward breakfall of the martial arts targeting 10 skilled and 10 unskilled subjects. In this study, three-dimensional motion analysis...

The Direction of a Reaction Suppose we have a reaction such as A + B ↔ C , which has come to equilibrium at some temperature τ . Now we raise the temperature. Does the equilibrium shift to the left (more A and B) or to the right (more C)? The heat of reaction at constant pressure, Qp, is the heat that must be supplied to the system if the reaction goes from left to right. If Qp > 0, heat is abs...

The photomediated synthesis of silver right triangular bipyramids and prisms has been studied, and we have determined that pH and [BSPP]/[Ag(+)] ratio (bis(p-sulfonatophenyl)phenylphosphine, BSPP) finely control the reaction rate and, consequently, the crystal growth pathway and morphology of final products. A fast reaction rate, realized at a high pH such as 10 or 11 and a [BSPP]/[Ag(+)] ratio...

A 31-year-old patient had acute dizziness and lateropulsion to the right. Neuro-ophthalmologic examination revealed (1) a saccade gaze palsy left (video 1, part A), (2) “half-pathologic” head-impulse test right B), but (3) bilaterally normal adduction during convergence reaction C), findings typical for abducens nuclear palsy. It was caused by histologically proven cavernoma in tegmentum pontis...

Results The following are the findings. Firstly, the total time taken for forward breakfall of the martial arts showed 1.53±0.04 s for skilled, and 1.41±0.06s for unskilled subjects (p<.01). Second, during forward breakfall of the martial arts, the skilled subjects came up with significantly faster impact velocity in the primary point of impact (E2) (p<.001), but the unskilled subjects showed s...

The aim of this study was to investigate brain structural alterations in adult immigrants who adapted to high altitude (HA). Voxel-based morphometry analysis of gray matter (GM) volumes, surface-based analysis of cortical thickness, and Tract-Based Spatial Statistics analysis of white matter fractional anisotropy (FA) based on MRI images were conducted on 16 adults (20-22 years) who immigrated ...

We used event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the functional locus of response facilitation during parallel visuo-motor processing. In a simple reaction-time task, subjects typically respond faster to two copies of the same stimulus than to a single copy. This facilitation, called the redundant-target effect, can occur at three functional levels: perceptual, ...

Across the globe, radical conservative political forces and ideas are influencing even transforming landscape of international politics. Yet IR is remarkably ill-equipped to understand engage these new challenges. Unlike theory or domestic analyses, conservatism has no distinctive place in fields’ defining alternatives realism, liberalism, Marxism, constructivism. This paper seeks provide a poi...
