HERNIAS OF THE GREATER OMENTUM THROUGH THE ANTERO-SUPERIOR ABDOMINAL WALL: AN EXTENSIVE PICTORIAL MDCT REVIEW WITH EMPHASIS ON TYPICAL ANATOMIC LANDMARKS. A PICTORIAL ESSAY

Thanks to its very high performances in term of spatial resolution, table speed and multiplanar reconstructions (MPR), 64-row MDCT today produces unrivalled high quality images of the entire abdominal wall (AW) during a single short breath hold.It appears thus particularly useful for the evaluation of AW hernias, allowing accurate identification of

Prediction of lethal ventricular arrhythmias leading to sudden cardiac death is one of the most important and challenging problems after myocardial infarction (MI).Identification of MI patients who are prone to ventricular tachyarrhythmias allows for an indication of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator placement.To date, noninvasive techniques s

Research about the lived experiences of asylum-seeking and refugee youth can evoke powerful emotions for those involved.Young people who escaped perilous situations often bear strong emotions linked to their experiences of migration and displacement, as well as their encounters with disorientation, insecurity, isolation, discrimination and racism i

In gun barrel-cradle structure, the presence of clearance usually changes the dynamic response of muzzle and results in shooting dispersion (under continuous firing condition).The parameter estimation of such clearance nonlinear system is the prerequisite for establishing quantitative relation between the clearance and muzzle disturbance.In this pa

Microwave passive and active radiative transfer simulations are performed with the Atmospheric Radiative Transfer Simulator (ARTS) for a mid-latitude snowfall event, using outputs from the Meso-NH mesoscale cloud model.The results are compared to the corresponding microwave observations available from MHS and CloudSat.The spatial structures of the
