Supratotal resection of primary brain tumors is being advocated especially when involving "non-eloquent" tissue.However, there is extensive neuropsychological data implicating functions critical to higher cognition in areas considered "non-eloquent" by most surgeons.The goal of the study was to determine pre-surgical brain regions that would be pre
Real-time visualization of joint cavitation.
Cracking sounds emitted from human synovial joints have been attributed historically to the sudden collapse of a cavitation bubble formed as articular surfaces are separated.Unfortunately, bubble collapse as the source of joint cracking is inconsistent with many physical phenomena that define the joint cracking phenomenon.Here we present direct evi
Screw dislocations in BCC transition metals: from ab initio modeling to yield criterion
We show here how density functional theory calculations can be used to predict the temperature- and orientation-dependence of Used Helmet the yield stress of body-centered cubic (BCC) metals in the thermally-activated regime where plasticity is governed by the glide of screw dislocations with a $1/2 langle 111 angle $ Burgers vector.Our numerical m
Screening for the Sickle Cell Trait in Odisha, India: An Approach to a Major Public Health Burden
The present study aims to determine the prevalence and distribution of sickle cell traits in Koraput district of Odisha along with the financial burden on households.A total of 1092 individuals of either sex, aged above 30 years, were randomly screened.Blood samples from each individual were collected and tested using the sodium metabisulphite (Na2
Medical emergencies in Goa
Background: Most emergencies in Goa arise due to road traffic accidents and drowning, which have been compounded by the rise in number of recorded accidents in Lifestyle 2007 to be above 4000.It is believed that 11 people meet with an accident on Goa′s roads every day and this is expected to rise by 10% by next year.Similar is the cas
