Published: March 2016

Ménière's disease is a disorder of the inner ear that causes attacks of vertigo and hearing loss, tinnitus, aural fullness in the involved ear. Over the past 4 decades, the Equilibrium Committee of the AAO-HNS has issued guidelines for diagnostic criteria, with the latest version being published in 1995. These criteria were reviewed in 2015 by the Equilibrium Committee, and revisions were approved at the recent meeting of the committee at the 2015 AAO-HNSF Annual Meeting. The following commentary outlines the amended and approved criteria.

Background: Improvements in the clinical diagnostic use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the identification of liver disorders have been made possible by gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA). Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology is in high demand.

Objectives: The purpose of the study is to segment the liver using an enhanced multi-gradient deep convolution neural network (EMGDCNN) and to identify and categorize a localized liver lesion using a Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI.

Integrating vestibular and visual cues for verticality perception.

Exp Brain Res

January 2025

School of Psychological Sciences, Birkbeck University of London, Malet St, London, WC1E 7HX, UK.

Verticality is the perception of what's upright relative to gravity. The vestibular system provides information about the head's orientation relative to gravity, while visual cues influence the perception of external objects' alignment with the vertical. According to Bayesian integration, the perception of verticality depends on the relative reliability of visual and vestibular cues.

Introduction:  Research on the association between blood groups and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in Africa, including Algeria, is notably limited, with a primary focus on blood donors. This narrow scope hinders a comprehensive understanding of the genetic diversity of blood groups and their potential links to CVD risk within the African context. To bridge this knowledge gap, this study proposes to investigate the distribution of blood group genotypes and their association with CVD prevalence, aiming to enhance knowledge within the African context and contribute to global insights into the relationship between blood groups and CVD.

The kinetics of anthracene hydrogenation was studied using the method of equilibrium kinetic analysis. To determine the diffusion-kinetic characteristics, anthracene hydrogenation was performed at different temperatures (648 K, 673 K, 698 K), at a hydrogen pressure of 3 MPa in the presence of a mixture of pyrite (FeS) and aluminum oxide (AlO) taken at a ratio of 1:1. Chromatographic analysis of anthracene hydrogenation products showed the presence of 9,10-dihydroanthracene (DHA), 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroanthracene (THA), methylnaphthalene (MN), naphthalene (H) and other unidentified compounds.

Prognostic significance of albumin corrected anion gap in patients with acute pancreatitis: a novel perspective.

Sci Rep

January 2025

NHC Key Laboratory of Nuclear Technology Medical Transformation, School of Medicine, Mianyang Central Hospital, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Mianyang, 621000, China.

This study aims to explore the relationship between the albumin-corrected anion gap (ACAG) and short- and long-term all-cause mortality (ACM) in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) managed in the intensive care unit (ICU). We conducted a retrospective analysis utilizing data extracted from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-IV (MIMIC-IV) database. This study sought to investigate the correlation between ACAG and ACM among patients diagnosed with AP across various disease stages.
