The Total Calcification Score (TCS) is a visual rating scale to measure Primary Familial Brain Calcification (PFBC) related calcification severity on Computed Tomography (CT). We investigated the inte...
Patients aged ≥18 years with PFBC or Fahr's syndrome who visited the outpatient clinic of a Dutch academic hospital were included. The TCS was modified, for example by adding hippocampal calcification...
Forty patients were included (mean age 60 years, 53% female). The median modified TCS was 34 (range 4-76). For all EPA levels, the interrater agreement of the modified TCS was excellent (ICC=0.97 (95%...
The modified TCS can be used with excellent reproducibility of the overall amount of brain calcifications and with limited training, although for some individual calcification locations more expertise...
CI, Confidence Interval; CT, Computed Tomography; EPA, Entrustable Professional Activity; IBGC, Idiopathic Basal Ganglia Calcification; ICC, Intraclass Correlation Coefficient; IQR, Interquartile Rang...
This paper investigates the impact of element size on the microstructure of the steel-concrete interface in self-compacting concrete (SCC). Experiments were conducted on two types of test elements: a ...
The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and fog computing architectures has introduced major security and cyber threats. Intrusion detection systems have become effective in monitoring n...
An understanding of the anatomical structure is crucial for completing successful endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) surgery. This study aimed to precisely delineate the spatial relationship betwe...
This retrospective cross-sectional study included 110 Han Chinese patients diagnosed with unilateral primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (PANDO) from January 2021 to June 2023. This study w...
The prevalence of ANC in this study was 90.9% (100/110). Dynamic examination revealed that only 42.7% (47/110) of ANCs appeared as discrete cells, while the majority were connected to nearby sinus ope...
More than half of the ANCs exhibited overlap with the lacrimal sac, suggesting a significant proportion may necessitate opening during endoscopic DCR procedures. ANCs are often interconnected with adj...
Abnormal deposition or aggregation of protein alpha-synuclein and tau in the brain leads to neurodegenerative disorders. Excessive hyperphosphorylation of tau protein and aggregations destroys the mic...

The chirality transfer phenomenon is attractive for enhancing the optical functionality of nanomaterials by inducing sensitivity to the circular polarization states of photons. An underexplored aspect...
Retrosplenic colonic interposition is a rare anatomical variant which involves an aberrant positioning of the colon between the spleen and the left hemidiaphragm. Cross-sectional imaging, particularly...
To determine the influence of different types of orbital fractures on the radiographic post-treatment outcomes....
The investigation was a retrospective cohort study involving CT data of all patients who underwent delayed primary or secondary surgery for orbital/zygomatico-orbital trauma between 2019 and 2021. The...
Forty-four patients (3 females and 41 males) with a mean age of 28.6 years were included in the study. Reductions in enophthalmos (P < 0.001) and intraorbital volume (P = 0.003) demonstrated significa...
Correction of enophthalmos strongly depends on the type of orbital fracture. There exists a significant linear relationship between enophthalmos and intraorbital volume in fractures involving the inte...
This study explores the efficacy of our novel and personalized brain-computer interface (BCI) therapy, in enhancing hand movement recovery among stroke survivors. Stroke often results in impaired moto...
Many studies have shown that ergonomically designed furniture improves productivity and well-being. As computers have become a part of students' academic lives, they will continue to grow in the futur...
