It harbours a large patrimonial collection, built up over the centuries from 'strata' of acquisitions, legacies from physicians and apothecaries, historical op...

PURPOSE To compare the image quality of modern 3 D and 2 D sequences for dedicated wrist imaging at 3 Tesla (T) MRI. MATERIALS AND METHODS At 3 T MRI, 18 patients (mean age: 36.2 years) with wrist pain and 16 healthy volunteers (mean age: 26.4 years) were examined using 2 D proton density-weighted fat-saturated (PDfs), isotropic 3 D TrueFISP, 3 D MEDIC, and 3 D PDfs SPACE sequences. Image qua...

We propose an NLG system for communicating information to cancer patients about their medical records through scripted dialogues between animated agents. Building on past work, we discuss design issues and research questions, particularly the question of how to convey medical concepts in terms of everyday concepts. Our novel solution incorporates the information to be communicated into a person...

The Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) is a public resource that promotes understanding about the effects of environmental chemicals on human health. CTD biocurators manually curate a triad of chemical-gene, chemical-disease and gene-disease relationships from the scientific literature. The CTD curation paradigm uses controlled vocabularies for chemicals, genes and diseases. To curate di...

There is a need to select high quality forage legumes that are acid soil-tolerant, drought resistant, and persistent under the close defoliation associated with intensive pasture systems in the humid tropics. A greenhouse pot study was conducted to determine forage legume seedling growth (10 week-old) and regrowth (5 weeks after clipping to an 8-cm residual stubble) responses of ‘Amarillo’ pere...
