UNLABELLED Although the presence of patellar tilt usually implies a tight lateral retinaculum and unhealthy pressure distributions within the patellar cartilage, it is possible for the bony portion of the patella to appear tilted while the articular cartilage is in fact fully congruous in a medial-lateral direction. We call this "congruous tilt." In such cases, a patient may not suffer from an ...

Perceptual science has frequently benefited from studying illusions created outside of academia. Here, we describe a striking, but little-known, example of inattentional blindness from the British comedy series "Monty Python's Flying Circus." Viewers fail to attend to several highly incongruous characters in the sketch, despite these characters being clearly visible onscreen. The sketch has the...

Introduction Spontaneous breathing during mechanical ventilation is still controversial. It is well known that incongruous patterns of mechanical ventilation can trigger or exacerbate lung injury. NAVA is a mode of mechanical ventilation that delivers ventilatory assist in proportion to the Electrical activity of the Diaphragm (EDi), which mirrors the performance of the whole respiratory system...

We derive an approximate relic neutrino asymmetry evolution equation that systematically incorporates repopulation processes from the full quantum kinetic equations (QKEs). It is shown that in the collision dominant epoch, the said equation reduces precisely to the expression obtained previously from the static/adiabatic approximation. The present treatment thus provides a rigorous justificatio...

• The optic tract syndrome is characterized by a contralateral, incongruous homonymous hemianopia, contralateral relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD), and optic atrophy due to retrograde axonal degeneration. • Optic disc pallor often results in a pattern of bowtie atrophy of the eye with temporal field loss and atrophy of the upper and lower poles of the disc of the eye with nasal field lo...

Two cases of homonymous hemianopsia caused by chiasmal compression due to in tracranial aneurysm are presented. Both cases are aneurysms of the internal carotid artery and these aneurysms developed to the median direction. Visual field defects in both cases were incongruous homonymous hemianopsia without macular sparing. It should be noted that when homonymous hemianopsia is present without any...

Abstract This essay examines the emotions of diverse artificial intelligences envisioned by an incongruous feminist science fiction author, Sheri S. Tepper. The focus comparison will be on a complex cyborg, Questioner in Six Moon Dance and relevant sentient creatures Sideshow so as to contrast representation felt/expressed constructs, try establish connection with author’s world view.

Concerning recent Italian laws and jurisprudential statements, guidelines application involves several difficulties in clinical practice, regarding prevention, diagnosis and therapy of venous thromboembolism. International scientific community systematically developed statements about this disease in order to optimize the available resources in prophylaxis, diagnosis and therapy. Incongruous pr...
