Objective: Segmental cystic dilatation of the ureter is extremely rare in adults. This article presents a case segmental left with proximal dilated upper and ipsilateral atrophied kidney, while distal normal calibration. Case: Excision cyst kidney was done. should be considered differential diagnosis intra-abdominal mass.

BACKGROUND Postural rehabilitation emphasizing on motor control training of segmental spinal movements has been proposed to effectively reduce the scoliotic spinal deformities in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). However, information regarding the impairments of segmental spinal movement control involving segmental spinal stabilizers in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis remains limited. Exam...

This paper proposes an approach to detect social speech signals by computing segmental features using adaptation of segmental Hidden Markov Models (HMMs). This approach uses segmental HMMs and model adaptation techniques such as Maximum Likelihood Linear Regression (MLLR) and Maximum A Posterior (MAP) in order to acquire specific (or adapted) segmental HMMs that are fine-tuned to detect local r...

There are several methods for analysing the behaviour of underground structures under different loading conditions. Most of these methods have many simplifications; therefore, in some cases, the results are too conservative and a very high safety factor, usually of more than 2 is needed. On the other hand, for stability analysis and the designing of support systems, these methods consider segme...

A semi-continuous segmental probability model, which can be considered as a special form of continuous mixture segmental probability model with continuous output probability density functions sharing in a mixture Gaussian density codebook, is proposed in this paper. The amount of training data required, as well as the computational complexity of the semi-continuous segmental probability model(S...

Minimal change nephropathy is relatively uncontroversial. This can be defined as the condition associated with the nephrotic syndrome in which glomeruli have no abnormality on light microscopy. Segmental sclerosing glomerular disorders are often called focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, one of the most controversial terms in kidney disease. The tubular opening is the earliest site at which seg...

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and type 2 both occur in mosaic (segmental) forms. When NF1 (and other autosomal dominant skin disorders) 2 occurs in a linear, patchy, quadrant, or otherwise localised form, two different types of mosaicism can be distinguished. Type 1 segmental involvement reflects heterozygosity for a postzygotic mutation occurring in an otherwise healthy embryo. The segmental ...

OBJECTIVE Sometimes a vertebral artery (VA) enters the spinal canal via the C1-2 intervertebral space, a variation regarded as a C2 segmental-type VA. This paper describes the anatomy of the C2 segmental-type VA and reviews its clinical importance. METHODS Between March 2014 and November 2015, 3386 patients underwent computed tomographic angiography. I identified C2 segmental-type VAs, associ...

AIM To assess Cardio-respiratory fitness (CF) markers among university students using a 20m shuttle run test (SRT). METHODS Markers of CF were assessed in 80 males aged 21.4±1.8 years, randomly selected from Moi University, Kenya. Assessed at different stages of SRT protocol included heart rate (HR), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP & DBP). VO2max was also determined. Data were anal...
