Conclusion. The IP approach is quickly learned by residents. Resident placement with the IP approach offers no advantage for the experienced resident. Pump placement and distal dilatation began and remain challenging. Location of corporotomy is the most challenging component and dictates difficulty of dilatation.

Abstract The neuronal pathways, through which prolactin secretion is regulated during lactation, have still not been fully explored.
Studies indicate that the suckling stimulus travels through the spinal cord, the brain stem, and then reaches the hypothalamus.
The focus of this present experiment is to further explore the neuronal connections between the brain stem and the arcuate
nucleus that may be involved in suckling-induced prolactin release. Ante- and retrograde tracing techniques were used. To
chemically characterize the explored neurons neuropeptide immunohistochemistry was applied. Previous studies ...

Abstract The Pennes bioheat equation and finite element method (FEM) are used to solve for the temperature distributions in the spinal

cord temperatures are reduced by 3.48 and 2.72°C, respectively. The 100-mm wide pad provides the desired cooling and uses
the least amount of material. The presence of zero-average CSF oscillation under normal conditions decreases the cooling extent
in the spinal cord due to the introduction of warm CSF surrounding the spinal cord. The temperatur...

Comparison of Hematoma Shape and Volume Estimates in Warfarin Versus Non-Warfarin-Related Intracerebral HemorrhageEmail this article to a colleague.

Conclusions Hematoma shape was not statistically significantly different in patients with OAT-ICH. Among bedside approaches, the standard
ABC/2 method offers reasonable approximation of hematoma volume in OAT-ICH and non-OAT-ICH.

Abstract Picture archiving and communications systems (PACS) utilize short- and long-term storage to provide both rapid retrieval and
large storage capacity. Owing to the practical limitations imposed on the size of the much faster short-term storage, it is
important to use an effective algorithm in the retrieval of comparison images from long to short-term storage. A strategy
must be used to maximize the likelihood that the relevant historic images have been previously retrieved into short-term memory.
Data were collected with a database consisting of 754 consecutive examinations and 7,723 associated histor...

Abstract Volume visualization is gaining widespread acceptance in medical applications. As its use increases, the issue of accuracy
becomes critical. There have been very few studies examining the accuracy of volume rendering techniques. We studied the accuracy
of hardware-assisted volume rendering for measurement of arterial stenosis in computed tomography (CT) data. The results of
our study reveal that accurate measurements can be made from volume rendered CT data. However, error is present (absolute
average error from 5.1% to 13.6%) and there is some variability, even for experts (standard deviation range...

This study tested the effectiveness of a prevention curriculum, All Stars, as implemented in a year-long school-based after
school program and provides an independent replication of the effects of All Stars on targeted mediators and problem behaviors
using an experimental methodology. Middle school students (N = 447) who registered for the after school program were randomly assigned to the experimental or control condition. The sample
included approximately equal proportions of males and females, was 70% African American, and 59% of the students received
subsidized meals at school. All Stars was delivered with reas...
