introduction: comparison of the relationships and distance between maxillary root tips and   the maxillary sinus floor using oral panoramic in the dolichocephalic and brachycephalic compared to mesocephalic individuals. methods: oral panoramic images from 300 individuals were analyzed and the relationships and distance between the maxillary root tips and the sinus floor was assessed by qualitat...

GOALS The aim of this study was to determine through meta-analysis the effects of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for the reduction of variceal rebleeding (VRB). BACKGROUND Variceal bleeding is one of the most frequent and severe complications of chronic liver disease. Although prophylactic use of TIPS for the reduction of VRB has been evaluated, the discrepancy about TIP...

To reduce the effect of fuzzy vein edges and tips of the infrared finger vein recognition, this paper presents a tri-value template fuzzy matching algorithm, which segments the vein feature image into three areas: subject area, fuzzy area and background area, and computes the average distance of non-background point to non-background area as the dissimilarity score between the two templates. Th...

In recent years, an increasing number of stimulant drugs and new psychoactive substances (NPSs) have caused concern in scientific communities and therefore innovative methods to extract compounds from complex biological samples are required. This work is aimed at developing and validating a clean, convenient and straightforward extraction procedure with microliter amounts of organic solvent usi...

IN the last 5 years, the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) procedure has become widely disseminated. The number of interventional radiologists who are creating shunts has steadily increased as the procedure has become an accepted method of reducing portal vein pressure (1–28). Although the optimal technique for shunt creation continues to evolve, shunts can routinely be creat...
