Image processing has become an essential component in many fields of biomedical research such as tumor detection, automatically determining the volume of a heart chamber, screening brain scans for possible diseases. Different techniques for automatic detection of brain tumor involve various steps: image acquisition, segmentation, classification using neural network and optimization, and identification of tumor type. This paper presents a new approach to detect and segment brain tumors.

A 10 days old female Tellicherry goat kid was presented for necropsy at the Central University Laboratory (CUL), Madhavaram. Detailed necropsy was carried out and suppurative encephalitis was identified as the cause of death. On necropsy, the brain revealed the presence of purulent and foul-smelling exudate in both ventricle of the cerebrum. Histologically, brain revealed severe diffuse degeneration of neutrophils with perivascular edema, neuronal necrosis, and extensive neutrophilic infiltration in the meninges that extended in to the grey matter.

Context: Experimental evidence suggests that mechanical vibration of low intensity (below 0.4 g) and low frequency (below 50 Hz) can be transmitted effectively through the human body. Thus, superimposition of such vibration to an active muscle has the potential to amplify the acute and chronic neuromuscular adaptations achieved during low-intensity exercise. Aim: To study the effects of sports specific flexi-bar training on strength and power of upper limb musculature in archers.

Periodontal regenerative procedure is a surgical therapy that aims to make up new bone, radicular cement, periodontal ligament (identified as new periodontal attack), demonstrated by histologic studies. The damage of these periodontal tissues is an effect of periodontal disease or occlusal trauma. Histologically, the new attachment is different from the long epithelial attachment. This occurs when there is migration of the junctional epithelium instead of connective tissue.

A descriptive, cross-sectional study was designed to determine the prevalence of secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism among patients with chronic renal failure who attend Az Zawiyah Kidney Hospital for hemodialysis. The duration of hemodialysis, blood level of iPTH (intact parathyroid hormone), calcium and phosphate were considered. This study has found that, among the fifty patients, forty-seven of them have hyperparathyroidism, and 35 patients from these 47 patients has tertiary hyperparathyroidism. While, only 12 patients have SHPT.

Patients with cervical cord trauma are at risk of having an unstable cervical spine and any movement of the neck can cause further damage. Therefore, the primary goal of airway management is to minimize neck movement while securing the airway. Cervical spine movement during intubation with direct laryngoscopy can predispose to new-onset neurological deficits in patients with cervical spine instability, awake fiberoptic guided intubation (FGI) is mostly preferred to eschew any further injury(1).

In each of these patterns of integer right triangles, the Canada number serves as a representation of the area-to-perimeter ratio. Also provided are a few intriguing relationships between the sides.

The conventional Bone marrow aspiration and trephine biopsy is a routinely done investigation under conscious sedation with rare complications. We present an atypical case of a 47 year old male who was diagnosed with a broken biopsy needle in an urban academic hospital. A removal in theatre under fluoroscopy was performed by the orthopaedic surgery team. At postoperative follow up, the patient was symptom free.

It was became clear that the flow - fate of all many protons, generated in mitochondria of 50-80 trillion cells (By us mitochondria flow of protons named as 1-7 stages of proton conductance) have been needed another special structures - another system to soak up the extra H+ activity generated as a result of process conducted in the 1-7 stages of proton conductance in order for true buffering to occur, that system consists of intracellular proteins, of which haemoglobin is the key player, concretely speaking, one of these are the erythrocyte membrane surroundings for packaging of protons an

The present work has for objective to make a survey compared of the physico-chemical quality of the consumption waters between the certified villages and no certified of the zones of health of the Province of the Tshopo, in DRC. To the total 2.646 samples of these waters have been appropriated and have been submitted to the analyses. On every sample, the debit, the temperature, the pH, the turbidity, the electric conductivity, the free chlorine, ions ammonium, nitrites, nitrates, phosphates and iron have been determined.
