Specifically, internal feature-specific prioritization modulates memory-driven capture but this capture also depends on the salience of the features.Seasonal snowfall, a sensitive climate factor and the main form of precipitation in arid areas, is important for forest material circulation and surface processes and profoundly impacts litter…[Read more]

To determine the variability of breast density assessment and the need for additional imaging using computed radiography (CR) mammography versus digital radiography (DR) mammography.

Cohort study.

Department of Radiology, The Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi from March to June 2018.

Patients who underwent screening CR…[Read more]

Investigating acute multifactorial undifferentiated breathlessness and understanding the driving inflammatory processes can be technically challenging in both adults and children. Being able to validate noninvasive methods such as breath analysis would be a huge clinical advance. The ReCIVA® device allows breath samples to be collected directly…[Read more]

Comparing the signal intensity (SI) of an ocular mass to that of the vitreous body has been suggested. Most ocular lesions show a hyper-intense signal compared to the vitreous body on T1-weighted (T1w) images, and malignant melanomas have been almost always determined as ‘cannot be excluded’ in reports.

This study aimed to determine the…[Read more]

Using and combining eye-tracking and EEG frequency band power as process measures, in the current study we were interested in the mental processing demands during learning of text-picture combinations that either enabled or prohibited text-picture integration (TPI). In the mismatch condition, the textual and pictorial information being dissimilar,…[Read more]

To examine the pupil and visual impact of a single early morning drop of a low concentration miotic.

Pupil size, refraction, visual acuity (VA), near reading performance and intraocular pressure were monitored for 8h at a wide range of light levels following bilateral instillation of single drops of 0.1% brimonidine tartate in 19 early…[Read more]

The basic reproduction number was approximated to be 2.05 (95% CI ); the hospitalized cases arrived at the peak of 29766 (95% CI ) on February 7th (95% CI ). Importantly, we identified that the highest risk group of SARS-Cov-2 was the family of four, which has the biggest probability of degree distributions at such node, suggesting that contact…[Read more]

ancerous action of ZnO NPs and their possible genotoxicity.

This fungus-mediated synthesis of ZnO NPs is a simple, eco-friendly, and non-toxic method. Our results show that the synthesized ZnO NPs are an excellent novel antimicrobial and anticancer agent. Further studies are required to understand the mechanism of the antimicrobial,…[Read more]

Restoration of proximal medial femoral support is the keystone in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures. None of the available implants are effective in constructing the medial femoral support. Medial sustainable nail (MSN-II) is a novel cephalomedullary nail designed for this. In this study, biomechanical difference between MSN-II and…[Read more]

Pseudomonas genus is among the top nosocomial pathogens known to date. Being highly opportunistic, members of pseudomonas genus are most commonly connected with nosocomial infections of urinary tract and ventilator-associated pneumonia. Nevertheless, vaccine development for this pathogenic genus is slow because of no information regarding immunity…[Read more]

Peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness might be useful in monitoring ongoing subclinical structural damage especially in eyes with no history of optic neuritis (ON) in neuromyelitis optica (NMO).

To evaluate the peripapillary RNFL thickness and optic nerve functions in fellow eye of NMO with unilateral optic…[Read more]
