Perimetry is one of the mainstays in glaucoma diagnosis and treatment. Various strategies offer different accuracies in glaucoma testing. Our aim was to determine and compare the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of Swedish Interactive Threshold Algorithm (SITA) Fast and Standard Full Threshold (SFT) strategies of the Humphrey Field Analyzer (HFA) in identifying patients with visual field ...

Solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) is a rare, spindle-cell, mesenchymal neoplasm with haemangiopericytoma-like branching vascular pattern. The tumour has been reported in various locations but the oral cavity is a distinctly uncommon region. We describe a case of solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) in the tongue of a 15-year-old girl. Microscopically it had features characteristic for SFT and a common imm...

A 28-year-old woman presented with abdominal pain. Ultrasonograhic examination showed a pre-sacral mass, with complex structure and well delimitated cystss with thick walls. The resected specimen was 7.5 x 6 x 4 cm in size, well circumscribed and yellow in colour, with cysstic change containing mucoid-like material. Histologically, the lesion was composed of spindle cells with high cellularity ...

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare spindle cell neoplasm that usually arising from the pleura, but has been reported in diverse extrapleural sites. Urogenital localization is rare, and only several cases of paratesticular SFT have been reported. In the present report, we present the case of a 61-year-old male suffering from a paratesticular SFT. A surgical excision of the lesion was perform...

A solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is an unusual spindle cell neoplasm that usually occurs in the pleura but has recently been described in diverse extrapleural sites. Urogenital localization is rare, and only 19 cases of SFT of the kidney have been described. We report a case of a large SFT clinically thought to be renal cell carcinoma arising in the kidney of a 70-year-old man. The tumor was well...

Background: Solitary fibrous tumor / hemangiopericytoma (SFT HPC) and fibroblastic types of meningioma have similarities that is difficult to distinguish based on histology. Immunohistochemistry STAT6 SSTR2A are definitive biomarkers in both tumors. Inversion-mediated fusions between two genes, NAB2 STAT6, were detected SFT HPC inducES proliferation cells. The somatostatin receptor (SSTR) 2 loc...

Farmlands in Japan’s hilly and mountainous (HM) areas face the critical challenges of aging farmers, depopulation, disadvantageous conditions for farm management economic performance, leading to abandonment farmland. Rice farming HM is rarely profitable; however, it occupies 40% Japanese agricultural production affects food security. We proposed a business model utilize smart technology (SFT) r...

We construct an exact analytic solution to the Friedman equations with a stringy inspired scalar matter and show explicitly an absence of the “Big Rip” singularity. The notable feature of this model is a wrong sign of the kinetic term and a special polynomial form of the effective tachyon potential. The method developed in the fivedimensional brane-world scenario is used. We show that the solut...

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the orbit is a very rare lesion that may be misdiagnosed as fibrous histiocytoma, hemangiopericytoma, or other orbital tumors. We present a 62-year-old man who presented with painless proptosis, 20 years following left eye enucleation for a presumed neurofibroma. On T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a hypointense tumor almost filled his entire left or...

Systems factorial technology (SFT) comprises a set of powerful nonparametric models and measures, together with a theory-driven experiment methodology termed the double factorial paradigm (DFP), for assessing the cognitive information-processing mechanisms supporting the processing of multiple sources of information in a given task (Townsend and Nozawa, Journal of Mathematical Psychology 39:321...
