Maize leaf disease recognition using PRF-SVM integration: a breakthrough technique.

The difficulty of collecting maize leaf lesion characteristics in an environment that undergoes frequent changes, suffers varying illumination from lighting sources, and is influenced by a variety of other factors makes detecting diseases in maize leaves difficult. It is critical to monitor and identify plant leaf diseases during the initial growing period to take suitable preventative measures. In this work, we propose an automated maize leaf disease recognition system constructed using the PRF-SVM model.

Does the residual displacement of pelvic ring affect the functional outcome in pelvic ring injures?

Purpose: The effects of residual displacement on the functional outcome of the patient are not distinctly known and the acceptability criteria of residual displacement of the pelvic ring remain disputed. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of residual displacement on functional outcome in pelvic ring injuries.

Materials And Methods: A total of 49 patients with pelvic ring injuries (both operative and non-operative) were followed up for six months.

Randomized controlled trial of SystemCHANGE™ weight management intervention in neurological conditions.

Objective: This randomized controlled pilot study examined the feasibility and efficacy of a SystemCHANGE™ (SC) weight management intervention in adults with either multiple sclerosis or stroke.

Methods: Participants (n = 61) were randomized into two interventions: SC, which taught skills to modify personal environments, or active-control (AC), which taught health behavior guidelines. Sessions were held weekly for 12 weeks.

Glenoid fossa fractures: Outcome of operative and nonoperative treatment.

Background: Glenoid fossa fractures are rare injuries having a prevalence of 0.1%. These fractures may be managed operatively if substantially displaced.

A new method of measuring acetabular cup anteversion on simulated radiographs.

Purpose: Optimal positioning of acetabular components is crucial for maintaining stability of THA. Postoperative assessment of acetabular anteversion is a vital but difficult task. Various methods have been devised with good results for measuring anteversion on plain radiographs but these methods are either too complicated or require special objects like scientific calculators, special protectors, tables, etc.

Tuberculosis of the elbow: A clinicoradiological analysis.

Background: The incidence of Tuberculosis (TB) of elbow is 2-5% of all skeletal locations. Most reports of TB elbow have focused attention on the diagnosis. The management options and classification has been missing.
