“…The differential diagnosis in our patients is diverse [15][16][17], It ranges from patients presenting with pseudotumour cerebri, strokes in the young, myelitis with lym phocytic pleocytosis as well as various cranial nerve pal sies. The crux is to ascertain the history of recurrent oral and genital ulcers and to confirm their presence on fol low-up.…”

Neurological Presentation of Neuro-Behçet’s Syndrome: Clinical Categories

et al. 1990

In an attempt to categorise the diverse neurological manifestations of Behçet’s syndrome, a group of 10 patients was prospectively studied; the diagnosis of Behpet’s syndrome was not known in any of them prior to their neurological presentation. A reasonably clear distinction can be made to divide the manifestations into three general categories with some overlap. Category I includes patients with increased intracranial pressure with or without cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. Category II are those presenting with a stroke. Category III are those patients who present with spinal cord involvement and CSF pleocytosis. Brainstem involvement was noted independently of the group. In general, patients with Neuro-Behçet’s syndrome showed little ocular involvement. The course of the illness both in morbidity and mortality tended to be better in category I, and mortality was only seen in category II patients. In populations susceptible to the disease, the clinical categorisation proposed may alert the clinician to the possibility of neuro-Behçet’s syndrome whenever patients with pseudotumour cerebri, dural sinus thrombosis, stroke in the young, unexplained myelitis or possible multiple sclerosis are encountered.

“…The study of the acoustical properties of a mosque have largely been neglected and have not received as much attention in the literature when compared to other places of worship such as churches [1,2]. Furthermore, the acoustic characteristics of a mosque are typically not considered in the design stages, more importance being placed on other aspects of the design [3] and no design recommendations currently exist to ensure adequate speech intelligibility quality for a mosque. Previous architectural acoustic research has typically focused on concert halls, auditoriums and opera houses.…”

This study presents the assessment of the quality of speech intelligibility of two Malaysian mosques and the results are used to develop a set of general acoustical guidelines to be used in the design of a mosque. Two mosques were selected for the research: Masjid UPM and the Masjid Jamek. The objective of the research is to enable the comparison of the acoustics and speech intelligibility between the mosques as function of the size, volume, occupancy and other parameters of the main prayer hall on the acoustic and speech intelligibility of the respective mosques. The reverberation time (RT60), speech level (SL), background noise (BN), signal-to-noise ratio (S/N ratio) were determined and are used to develop the speech transmission index (STI) and rapid transmission index (RASTI) prediction models for both mosques. It was observed from the results that the RT60, STI and RASTI values shows better performance over number of occupancy for both mosques. Furthermore, the BN and SL results were visualized using the spatial distribution patterns (SDP) of the main hall. The results of the analysis show that the overall acoustic and speech quality of Masjid Jamek is better when compared to the overall acoustic and speech quality of Masjid UPM. These results are then used to develop a set of design recommendations to ensure adequate speech intelligibility quality a mosque.
