[image: S00954470.gif] Publication date: September 2016 *Source:*Journal of Phonetics, Volume 58 Author(s): Megan J. Crowhurst, Niamh E. Kelly, Amador Teodocio Some studies of human rhythmic grouping biases (RGBs) have found that listeners tend to perceive greater duration as marking group endings, a “long-last” RGB that has been related to preboundary lengthening in languages. Accumulating evidence from adult and infant studies now suggests that duration-based RGBs are variable, learned, and sensitive to language input. If RGBs can be influenced by language background, then phonolo... περισσότερα »

The eustachian tube consists of 2 compartments: the Rüdinger’s safety canal and the auxiliary gap. It is surrounded by a cartilaginous wall on the craniomedial side and a membranous wall on the inferolateral side. The eustachian tube cartilage is firmly attached to the skull base by the lateral and the medial suspensory ligaments, which are separated by the medial Ostmann fat pad.

Abstract Background To investigate the correlation between iodine-related attenuation of dual-energy computed tomography (DE-CT) and the histopathological invasiveness of surgically resected primary non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) ≤ 3 cm in diameter. Methods We selected 63 consecutive NSCLC lesions from 60 patients (32 males, 28 females; age range, 39–85 years; mean age, 68 years). After injection of iodinated contrast media, arterial phases were scanned using 140-kVp and 80-kVp tube voltages.

How I report breast magnetic resonance imaging studies for breast cancer staging and screening

Alexandros G. SfakianakisστοSquamous cell carcinoma (SCC) - Cancer - MelanomaΠριν από 27 δευτερόλεπτα

Abstract Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the breast is the most sensitive imaging technique for the diagnosis and local staging of primary breast cancer and yet, despite the fact that it has been in use for 20 years, there is little evidence that its widespread uncritical adoption has had a positive impact on patient-related outcomes. This has been attributed previously to the low specificity that might be expected with such a sensitive modality, but with modern techniques and protocols, the specificity and positive predictive value for malignancy can exceed that of breast ult... περισσότερα »

Differences in Brain Metabolic Impairment between Chronic Mild/Moderate TBI Patients with and without Visible Brain Lesions Based on MRI

Introduction. Many patients with mild/moderate traumatic brain injury (m/mTBI) in the chronic stage suffer from executive brain function impairment. Analyzing brain metabolism is important for elucidating the pathological mechanisms associated with their symptoms. This study aimed to determine the differences in brain glucose metabolism between m/mTBI patients with and without visible traumatic brain lesions based […]

On a New Class of -Valent Meromorphic Functions Defined in Conic Domains

We define a new class of multivalent meromorphic functions using the generalised hypergeometric function. We derived this class related to conic domain. It is also shown that this new class of functions, under certain conditions, becomes a class of starlike functions. Some results on inclusion and closure properties are also derived. from #AlexandrosSfakianakis via Alexandros […]

A review of patient safety incidents reported as ‘severe’ or ‘death’ from critic al care units in England and Wales between 2004 and 2014

Summary We analysed 1743 patient safety incidents reported between 2004 and 2014 from critical care units in England and Wales where the harm had been classified as ‘severe’ (1346, 77%) or ‘death’ (397, 23%). We classified 593 (34%) of these incidents as resulting in temporary harm, and 782 (45%) as more than temporary harm, of […]

PMLiVE Boehringer stops Gilotrif head and neck cancer trials PMLiVE Boehringer Ingelheim has said it will abandon two trials of Gilotrif in head and neck cancer after disappointing data. Gilotrif (afatinib) has been on the market for EGFR-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) for some time, and was recently … from #AlexandrosSfakianakis via Alexandros G.Sfakianakis […]

The Role of the Pharmacist in the Treatment of Patients with Infantile Hemangioma Using Propranolol

Abstract Introduction Infantile hemangiomas (IH) are the most common benign vascular tumors of childhood, with an incidence of 5–10% during the first year of age. Propranolol is considered the first-line treatment for this condition. Potentially there is a high probability of negative results to therapy, because in many countries there are no treatment protocols or […]

[image: S00954470.gif] Publication date: September 2016 *Source:*Journal of Phonetics, Volume 58 Author(s): Megan J. Crowhurst, Niamh E. Kelly, Amador Teodocio Some studies of human rhythmic grouping biases (RGBs) have found that listeners tend to perceive greater duration as marking group endings, a "long-last" RGB that has been related to preboundary lengthening in languages. Accumulating evidence from adult and infant studies now suggests that duration-based RGBs are variable, learned, and sensitive to language input. If RGBs can be influenced by language background, then phonolo... περισσότερα »
