ABStrACt. Males of Limnogonus aduncus were found to have the sex chromosome system X0 and chromosome number 2n = 23 (22A + X0). Testis cells were stained with lacto-acetic orcein and silver nitrate so that changes in the morphology and degree of staining of the heteropicnotic chromatin and the nucleolar material could be observed during meiosis and spermiogenesis. These structures share the same nuclear position and could be seen until almost the end of spermiogenesis. A chromosome region stained with silver ni-
Parkinson's disease (PD) has affected millions of people world-wide, being its major problem the loss of movements and, consequently, the ability of working and locomotion. Although we can find several works that attempt at dealing with this problem out there, most of them make use of datasets composed by a few subjects only. In this work, we present some results toward the automated diagnosis of PD by means of computer vision-based techniques in a dataset composed by dozens of patients, which is one of the main contributions of this work. The dataset is part of a joint research project that aims at extracting both visual and signal-based information from healthy and PD patients in order to go forward the early diagnosis of PD patients. The dataset is composed by handwriting clinical exams that are analyzed by means of image processing and machine learning techniques, being the preliminary results encouraging and promising. Additionally, a new quantitative feature to measure the amount of tremor of an individual's handwritten trace called Mean Relative Tremor is also presented.
Transaxillary breast augmentation provides consistent, satisfactory results with ease of dissection, when properly indicated. Although the subfascial augmentation mammaplasty has all the advantages of the subpectoral and subglandular augmentation mammaplasties and eliminates the disadvantages of increased postoperative discomfort, implant visibility, and distortion, patients of all three groups had similar rates of satisfaction. Further follow-up is needed in order to compare the long-term effects of the three different planes of insertion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
