A comparative methodological approach for argan forest classification using Landsat imagery.

In the last decades, natural and anthropogenic pressures have caused observable changes in the argan landscape despite its significance in Morocco. Remote sensing data can be used to monitor these changes over time and provide information on vegetation health and land cover changes. This study assesses the performance of supervised methods (support vector machine, maximum likelihood, and minimum distance) and unsupervised classification method (Isodata) for mapping the argan forest in the Smimou area of Essaouira province using remote sensing data from Landsat-5 and Landsat-8 (1985 and 2019).

Brain correlates of declarative memory atypicalities in autism: a systematic review of functional neuroimaging findings.

The long-described atypicalities of memory functioning experienced by people with autism have major implications for daily living, academic learning, as well as cognitive remediation. Though behavioral studies have identified a robust profile of memory strengths and weaknesses in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), few works have attempted to establish a synthesis concerning their neural bases. In this systematic review of functional neuroimaging studies, we highlight functional brain asymmetries in three anatomical planes during memory processing between individuals with ASD and typical development.

Lateral luxation: Is root resorption an unavoidable complication?

Lateral luxation is defined as a traumatic displacement of a tooth in any direction other than axially. A laterally luxated tooth is often immobile because of its bony lock. It produces a high metallic sound during percussion.

Incidental finding of a bilateral complete ossification of stylo-hyoid chain and thyro-hyoid ligaments.

Ossification of stylohyoid chain corresponds to the ossification of stylohyoid ligament that can vary from thin short to thick long ossification and can be associated with other calcifications. We report in this case a bilateral non painful complete ossification of the stylohyoid complex extended to the thyrohyoidien ligament.

Erosive cheilitis as an early manifestation in DRESS syndrome.

Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) is a distinct part of severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs). It is characterized by fever, rash, hematologic abnormalities, lymphadenopathy, or/and different degrees of visceral organ involvement. Its diagnosis is particularly challenging due to the variability of its clinical presentations and its long latency period (2-6 weeks).
