Mapping the capacities of fixed health facilities to cover people at risk of gambiense human African trypanosomiasis
- OPEN
- International journal of health geographics
- Published about 7 years ago
- Discuss
The emphasis placed on the activities of mobile teams in the detection of gambiense human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) can at times obscure the major role played by fixed health facilities in HAT control and surveillance. The lack of consistent and detailed data on the coverage of passive case-finding and treatment further constrains our ability to appreciate the full contribution of the health system to the control of HAT.

Shave to Save Face: Two Case Reports of Basal Cell Carcinoma on the Scalp
- Journal of cutaneous medicine and surgery
- Published over 4 years ago
- Discuss
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common cutaneous malignancy. Terminal hair is not routinely removed for assessment of BCCs on the scalp and yet may obscure the true size of scalp BCCs. This can compromise effective management.

A cadaveric study of surgical landmarks for retrograde parotidectomy
- OPEN
- Annals of medicine and surgery (2012)
- Published over 4 years ago
- Discuss
Retrograde parotidectomy is employed in situations where tumors or scar tissue obscure the facial nerve trunk, making anterograde parotidectomy hazardous. Hence, the reliability of anatomical landmarks in retrograde parotidectomy is of equal practical importance.

Estimation of Pleural Fluid Volumes on Chest Radiography Using Computed Tomography Volumetric Analysis: An Update of the Visual Prediction Rule
- Journal of thoracic imaging
- Published almost 6 years ago
- Discuss
The purpose of the study was to determine the volumes of pleural fluid (PF) required to produce visible menisci in the lateral and posterior costophrenic angles (CPA) and obscure the hemidiaphragms (HD) on upright frontal and lateral chest radiographs (CXRs), using volumetric analysis of chest computed tomography (CT).

High Resolution Coherent Three Dimensional Spectroscopy of Br(2)

- Published about 8 years ago

In the past, high resolution spectroscopy has been limited to small, simple molecules that yield relatively uncongested spectra. Larger and more complex molecules have a higher density of peaks and are susceptible to complications (e.g., effects from conical intersections) that can obscure the patterns needed to resolve and assign peaks. Recently, high resolution coherent 2D spectroscopy has been used to resolve and sort peaks into easily identifiable patterns for molecules where pattern-recognition has been difficult. For very highly congested spectra, however, the ability to resolve peaks using coherent 2D spectroscopy is limited by the bandwidth of instrumentation. In this paper, we introduce and investigate high resolution coherent 3D spectroscopy (HRC3D) as a method for dealing with heavily congested systems. The resulting patterns are unlike those in high resolution coherent 2D spectra. Analysis of HRC3D spectra could provide a means for exploring the spectroscopy of large and complex molecules that have previously been considered too difficult to study.
