spatial resolution of neuromagnetic records: theoretical calculations in a spherical model.spatial resolution of magnetoencephalography (meg) was studied by computer simulations using a spherical conductor model for the head. the accuracy obtainable in the absolute location of a dipole was found by calculating the confidence limits for source location in 3 dimensions. the accuracy in determining the relative locations of two sources was estimated by calculating the smallest shift in source location that could be detected with statistical significance. the results were used to illustra ...20082446847
the influence of the bony pelvis in persistent occiput posterior position.roentgenologic pelvimetry has been performed in 68 consecutive cases of occiput posterior position. the results point to an influence from a transverse narrowing of the pelvis or a tendency towards large dimensions. in many cases, however, no clear correlation to pelvic dimensions is found. a significant difference exists in the rate of obstetrical complications between nulliparous and parous women. the reasons for this and for the persistent op position are discussed.1990269635

uses and limitations of the balance technique.classical balance techniques are a powerful, sensitive, and usually accurate technique for assessing the nutritional or metabolic response to changes in nutritional intake or to metabolic or physiological perturbations. balances are particularly sensitive for examining transient or short-term responses to nutritional or metabolic stimuli. a major factor responsible for the precision and sensitivity of this technique is the precise control of the activities and environment of an individual during ...20113312697
therapeutic activity of lactate 12% lotion in the treatment of ichthyosis. active versus vehicle and active versus a petrolatum cream.lactate 12% lotion was significantly more effective than both its vehicle and a petrolatum-based cream in the treatment of ichthyosis. the treatment regimen was twice-daily application for 4 weeks with evaluations weekly during the treatment period and for 2 weeks after treatment was stopped. vulgaris, lamellar, sex-linked, netherton's, and epidermolytic hyperkeratotic forms of ichthyosis were significantly improved by treatment with lactate 12% lotion. this new therapeutic modality expands the ...20123543073
parity violation and chiral symmetry breaking of a racemic mixture.the chiral symmetry breaking of a racemic mixture by the parity violating weak interaction is considered. particular attention is given to a mechanism recently proposed by mason and tranter whereby the weak neutral current interaction in chiral molecules leads to the differential absorption of unpolarized light by d vs. l enantiomers. after extending the usual theory of optical activity to include weak neutral currents, it is found that for spin-allowed transitions in typical organic molecules t ...20123580533
