101 Gerig, GuidoCortical enhanced tissue segmentation of neonatal brain MR images acquired by a dedicated phased array coilThe acquisition of high quality MR images of neonatal brains is largely hampered by their characteristically small head size and low tissue contrast. As a result, subsequent image processing and analysis, especially for brain tissue segmentation, are often hindered. To overcome this problem, a dedic...2009-01-01

This report describes a patient with CNH due to a brainstem anaplastic astrocytoma who also exhibited disturbances of sleep and ocular motor function. The CNH r...Central Neurogenic H yperventilation; Ocular Motor Dysfunction1990-11
112 Newton, MariaQualitative analysis of a pediatric strength intervention on the developmental stepping movements of infants with Down syndromeThe purpose of this study was to describe the developmental stepping movements of 5 infants with Down syndrome who participated in a pediatric strength intervention. Pretest and posttest data were collected with the Hawaii Early Learning Profile Strands, Battelle Developmental Inventory, and specia...Developmental stepping movements; Strength intervention; Progressive interactive facilitation; Motor development1996
113 Cates, Joshua E.; Lefohn, Aaron; Whitaker, Ross T.GIST: an interactive, GPU-based level set segmentation tool for 3D medical imagesWhile level sets have demonstrated a great potential for 3D medical image segmentation, their usefulness has been limited by two problems. First, 3D level sets are relatively slow to compute. Second, their formulation usually entails several free parameters which can be very difficult to correctl...GIST; 3D medical images; Segmentation tool; Image segmentation2004-02-27
114 Dailey, Andrew T.Pathophysiology of oral pharyngeal apraxia and mutism following posterior fossa tumor resection in childrenMutism following posterior fossa tumor resection in pediatric patients has been previously recognized, although its pathophysiology remains unclear. A review of the available literature reveals 33 individuals with this condition, with only a few adults documented in the population. All of these pati...Vermis; Posterior fossa tumor; Pediatric patients1995
115 Olivera, Baldomero M.Identification and characterization of a Ca2+-sensitive nonspecific cation channel underlying prolonged repetitive firing in Aplysia neuronsThe afterdischarge of Aplysia bag cell neurons has served as a model system for the study of phosphorylation-mediated changes in neuronal excitability. The nature of the depolarization generating the afterdischarge, however, has remained unclear. We now have found that venom from Conus textile trig...Ca21-activated nonspecific cation channel; Slow inward current; Ion channel modulation; Afterdischarge; Bursting; Aplysia bag cell neurons; Conus textile; Neurotoxins1996
116 Baehr, WolfgangCalcium-sensitive particulate guanylyl cyclase as a modulator of cAMP in olfactory receptor neuronsThe second messengers cAMP and inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate have been implicated in olfaction in various species. The odorant-induced cGMP response was investigated using cilia preparations and olfactory primary cultures. Odorants cause a delayed and sustained elevation of cGMP. A component of this c...Calcium-Binding Proteins; Nerve Tissue Proteins; Rats, Sprague-Dawley1998
