Region of Interest Based MRI Brain Image Compression Using Peano Space Filling Curve
Applications of medical images are increasing rapidly, moreover the medical images produced by the imaging devices occupies more volume of space. Medical information system needs to store huge amount of data in the form of medical images for future record and also these images are required to be transmitted over network to the place of specialist to obtain diagnostics opinion. Because of the limited availability of space and bandwidth, an efficient compression technique is needed to reduce the bits to store and transmit these images. In this paper, we propose an efficient scheme of medical image compression based on region...

Genetic Study in One Individual with Brainstem Hemangioblastoma, Multiple Meningiomas and a Pituitary Space-Occupying Lesion Revealing Partial Deletion in VHL Gene
We present a 29-yearold women with brainstem hemangioblastoma, posterior fossa meningiomas and a pituitary spaceoccupying lesion causing hyperprolactinemia.Despite multiple primary intracranial tumors,through systemic work-up, no other manifestation related to von Hippel-Lindau(VHL) disease was found. Complete resection of the brainstem hemangioblastoma and posterior fossa meningiomas was achieved in one single operation via a sub-occipital posterior combined with retrosigmoid approach. The patient was discharged without obvious postoperative complications. Gene copy number analysis based on quantitative PCR revealed parti...

Possible Hypoxia Signaling Induced Alteration of Glucose Homeostasis in Rats Exposed to Chronic Intermittent Hypoxia - Role of Antioxidant (Vitamin C) and Ca2+ Channel Blocker (Cilnidipine)
Conclusion: CIH induces over production of reactive oxygen species as well as hyper activities of sympathetic N-type Ca2+ channels possibly through HIF 1-α expression and influence on insulin signaling by causing hyperglycemia, glucose intolerance and insulin resistance in rats. Simultaneous treatment with vitamin c or cilnidipine improves glucose homeostasis in CIH exposed rats. (Source: Current Signal Transduction Therapy)
