At magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and multidetector computed tomography (CT), artifacts
arising from metallic orthopedic hardware are an obstacle to obtaining optimal images. …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of metallic implant positioning on MR
imaging artifacts, to determine the optimal imaging conditions for minimizing artifacts, and to …

A set of weakly dispersive Boussinesq-type equations, derived to include viscosity and
vorticity terms in a physically consistent manner, is presented in conservative form. The model …

OBJECTIVE. We evaluate the efficacy and safety of sonographically guided ethanol sclerotherapy
for benign thyroid cysts. SUBJECTS AND METHODS. We examined 22 patients with …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The techniques of preoperative embolization of hypervascular
spinal tumors, which has been known to be helpful for completing tumor resection, have …

Wave and combined wave-and-surge overtopping was significant across a large portion of
the hurricane protection system of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. In particular, along …

This paper aims to introduce non-dispersive shallow water and dispersive, Boussinesq-type
numerical models used in tsunami modeling, as well as an approach to two-way couple …

Undular bores and shocks generated by dam-break flows or tsunamis are examined
considering nonhydrostatic pressure and dispersive effects in one- and two-horizontal-dimensional …

The epithelial cells of the gut form a physical barrier against the luminal contents. The
collapse of this barrier causes inflammation, and its therapeutic restoration can protect the gut …

Dear Editor: Erythema annulare centrifugum (EAC), a chronic inflammatory skin disease
with an unknown etiology, is considered a hypersensitivity reaction caused by cutaneous or …
