Ketamine, an Old-New Drug: Uses and Abuses.

Ketamine as an old-new drug has a variety of clinical implications. In the last 30 years, ketamine has become popular for acute use in humans. Ketamine in standard doses is principally utilized for the induction and maintenance of surgical procedures.

Influence of stathmin 1 (STMN1) expression on neoangiogenesis in colorectal adenocarcinoma.

Stathmin1 is a microtubular regulatory protein. The expression disorders of this protein result in significant changes in cell migration, invasion, adhesion and colony formation in many malignant tumors. The aim of our research was to investigate the effects of Stathmin1 expression on neoangiogenesis in colorectal adenocarcinoma.

Effective and efficient subjective testing of texture similarity metrics.

The development and testing of objective texture similarity metrics that agree with human judgments of texture similarity require, in general, extensive subjective tests. The effectiveness and efficiency of such tests depend on a careful analysis of the abilities of human perception and the application requirements. The focus of this paper is on defining performance requirements and testing procedures for objective texture similarity metrics.

Structural texture similarity metrics for image analysis and retrieval.

We develop new metrics for texture similarity that accounts for human visual perception and the stochastic nature of textures. The metrics rely entirely on local image statistics and allow substantial point-by-point deviations between textures that according to human judgment are essentially identical. The proposed metrics extend the ideas of structural similarity and are guided by research in texture analysis-synthesis.

[Abnormal joint laxity in hip dislocation during the first year of life. Arthrographic findings and prognosis].

247 cases of congenital dislocation of the hip (C.D.H.

[Value of arthrography in hip dislocation during the 1st year of life].

Forty-four arthrograms were done in 41 infants less than one year old. The author has studied displacement of the femoral head and deformity of the acetabulum. The relationship of the femoral head to the limbus was specifically assessed.

[Congenital elevation of the scapula in children. Anatomo-pathological and therapeutic study apropos of 27 cases].

The authors have treated 27 cases of congenital elevation of the scapula in children. 21 were operated on. They describe 3 types of the deformity which was often associated with other congenital lesions local (spine, ribs) or general.
