Conclusion: Anatomic masticator space GW4869 involvement affects the overall survival and local relapse-free survival of patients with NPC. When masticator space involvement includes the medial and lateral pterygoid muscles, the disease should be classified as stage T4. (C) RSNA, 2010″
“We describe a technique for profiling of layered samples via near-field (NF) microwave

measurements. This technique is based on a recently developed theory of the NF microscopy of layered media. The deep profilometry involves solution of a nonlinear inverse problem in which sample properties are mathematically reconstructed from a set of experimental data obtained with a system of NF probes. We have built an effective computer algorithm that yields a fairly accurate YAP-TEAD Inhibitor 1 solution of this ill-conditioned problem. As an example, we analyze retrieval of a carrier concentration profile in a semiconductor. The process of retrieving some forms of profiles with the characteristic spatial scales of 10-100 nm, which are typical for semiconductor technologies, is simulated. A satisfactory accuracy (better than 10%-15%) is achieved for millimeter-wave microscopes with the probe apertures of 3-15 mu m. We simulate the measuring characteristics for a possible NF microscope circuit, which provide the basis for realization of the proposed method. (C) 2011 American Institute

“The first African Child Neurology Association meeting identified key challenges that the continent faces to improve the health of children with neurology disorders. The capacity to diagnose common neurologic conditions and rare disorders is lacking. The burden of neurologic disease on the continent is not known, and this lack of knowledge limits the ability to lobby for better health

care provision. Inability to practice in resource-limited settings has led to the migration of skilled professionals away from Africa. Referral systems from primary to tertiary are often unpredictable and chaotic. There is a lack of access to reliable supplies of basic neurology treatments such as antiepileptic RG-7112 nmr drugs. Few countries have nationally accepted guidelines either for the management of epilepsy or status epilepticus. There is a great need to develop better training capacity across Africa in the recognition and management of neurologic conditions in children, from primary health care to the subspecialist level.”
“Purpose: To determine conversion factors for the new International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) publication 103 recommendations for adult and pediatric patients and to compare the effective doses derived from Monte Carlo calculations with those derived from dose-length product (DLP) for different body regions and computed tomographic (CT) scanning protocols.
