OBJECTIVE The mental foramen (MF) hosts main neurovascular structures, making it of crucial importance for surgical procedures. This study aimed to analyze the factors influencing the dimensions and location of the MF. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 344 patients were examined for MF dimensions, as well as for the distances from the MF to the alveolar crest...

Whilst the ability to characterise the on-average monthly or yearly performance of systems without countermeasures is well determined, such methods are not efficient at Ka-band and above. Optimal fade mitigation technique design requires statistically and dynamically correct attenuation time-series. Optimal allocation of communication resources requires consideration of the channel statistics a...

background: mycosis fungoides (mf) is he most common and indolent form of cutaneuse t-cell lymphomas (ctcl), that usually occurs in old adults. objectives: to determine epidemiologic features and patients characteristics of mf in isfahan (iran). methods: we performed a retrospective study in mf clinic of alzahra hospital that is the main center for treatment of mf patients in isfahan (iran) and...

Ichthyosiform mycosis fungoides (MF) is a rare variant of MF, occurring in 3.5% of MF patients according to one study (1, 2). Patients with ichthyosiform MF exhibit clinical manifestations similar to those of acquired ichthyosis; histologically, however, they show epidermotropism of atypical lymphocytes. Ichthyosiform MF is characterized by indolent course and usually good response to photother...

Recently developed STTS-MF receiver by the authors in (referred as TTS-MF receiver in) performs better than the traditional Matched Filter based receiver (referred as STS-MF receiver in), but only when the SNR (expressed in dB) is positive. In this paper, we introduce a new receiver, the CTTS-MF receiver, and demonstrate that it performs better than both STTS-MF and STS-MF receivers, for both p...

BACKGROUND The mental foramen (MF) is a small foramen located in the anterolateral region of the mandible through which the mental nerve and vessels emerge. The knowledge on the anatomic characteristics and variations of MF is very important in surgical procedures involving that area. The aim of this study was two-fold: firstly, to analyze the anatomic characteristics of MF and the presence of ...

Myelofibrosis (MF) can present as a primary disorder or evolve from polycythemia vera (PV) or essential thrombocythemia (ET) to post-PV MF or post-ET MF, respectively. MF is characterized by bone marrow fibrosis, splenomegaly, leukoerythroblastosis, extramedullary hematopoiesis, and a collection of debilitating symptoms. Until recently, the therapeutic options for patients with MF consisted of ...

Mycosis fungoides (MF), a low-grade lymphoproliferative disorder, is the most common type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Typically, neoplastic T cells localize to the skin and produce patches, plaques, tumours or erythroderma. Diagnosis of MF can be difficult due to highly variable presentations and the sometimes nonspecific nature of histological findings. Molecular biology has improved the dia...
