objectives: knowledge about gender differences in intra-limb coordination during walking provides insight into the adaptability of central nervous system for controlling gait in older adults. we assessed the variability and phase dynamic of the intra-limb coordination in older men and women during walking. methods: twenty two older people, 11 female and 11 male, participated in this study. they...

OBJECTIVE Compare the effectiveness of ultrasound and fluoroscopy to guide intra-articular injections (IAI) in selected cases. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective study in our outpatient clinics at the Rheumatology Division at Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), Brazil, was conducted to compare the short-term (4 weeks) effectiveness of ultrasound and fluoroscopy-guided IAI in patients...

Nurses are accountable for their care. Understanding the physiology and process behind any intervention improves patient care, while also increasing nursing satisfaction and skill and IABP is no exception. An awareness of IABP will facilitate sound nursing care, ensure early identification of possible complications or patient compromise, and lead to patient and relative satisfaction. It will al...

Recently, there are many researches on location estimation using optical flow, which is a well-known distance estimation method without any infrastructure. However, since the calculation of optical flow needs high computational power, it cannot adapt to highspeed movement. Therefore, in this paper, we propose intra-frame optical flow, which is a new distance estimation method using an interlace...

Intra-articular haemangioma is a rare and uncommon condition that sometimes presents in infants. The lesion can be a diagnostic challenge, with misdiagnosis often leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment. It is essential to establish and treat the condition early, as intra-articular haemangioma can lead to destruction of the joint and secondary arthrosis. Herein, we report the case of a five-...

Video segmentation has drawn increasing interest in multimedia applications. This paper proposes a novel joint space-time-range domain adaptive mean shift filter for video segmentation. In the proposed method, segmentation of moving/static objects/background is obtained through interframe mode-matching in consecutive frames and motion vector mode estimation. Newly appearing objects/regions in t...

The population of cells that make up a cancer are manifestly heterogeneous at the genetic, epigenetic, and phenotypic levels. In this mini-review, we summarise the extent of intra-tumour heterogeneity (ITH) across human malignancies, review the mechanisms that are responsible for generating and maintaining ITH, and discuss the ramifications and opportunities that ITH presents for cancer prognos...
