A comprehensive use of ultrasound examination in infertility workup

2021

Considering the growing availability of ultrasound diagnostic methods in gynecology, its role in the infertility setting is increasing. In this review, we present an up-to-date ultrasound based diagnostic scheme in infertility workup comprising the evaluation of ovarian anatomy and function, uterine exploration, as well as tubal patency. The possibility of performing the vast majority of infertility diagnostics by ultrasound in the ambulatory settings is not only attractive and beneficial to patients, but also to health care system. Thus, it is vital for gynecologists to implement modern non-invasive ultrasound modalities in their everyday practice.

Congenital Müllerian anomalies: a review of currently available imaging modalities

2002

Congenital uterine anomalies are associated with infertility and adverse obstetric outcomes. The sensitivity of transvaginal sonography in diagnosing these anomalies ranges from 42% to 87%. More re...

The keyboard as a part of visual, auditory and kinesthetic processing in sight-reading at the piano

2009

Sight-reading at the piano requires coordination of multiple modalities—visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Visual feedback (obtained by looking at the keyboard and the fingers) is usually regarded as one means by which pianists guide musical performance, but few researchers have focused on the organisational aspects implicit in the information provided by the keyboard. This study investigated the role of the keyboard with respect to the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modalities involved in sight-reading. Five pianists sight-read two compositions, each in a different musical style. They were then interviewed in a semi-structured interview format. A qualitative content analysis was made fr…

In Search for an Integrated Design Basis for Audio and Haptics

2008

Audio and haptics as interaction modalities share properties, which make them highly appropriate to be handled within a single conceptual framework. This paper outlines such framework, gaining ingredients from the literature concerning cross-modal integration and embodied cognition. The resulting framework is bound up with a concept of physical embodiment, which has been introduced within several scientific disciplines to reveal the role of bodily experience and the corresponding mental imagery as the core of meaning-creation. In addition to theoretical discussion, the contribution of the proposed approach in design is outlined.

REALIZATION OF INTEGRATED LEARNING IN STUDY PRACTICE: PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS EXPERIENCES

2018

The integrated teaching is important tool for promoting the development of students’ critical and creative thinking, self-cognition, learning and cooperation skills and cultural understanding in a constantly changing world. In Latvia, integrated curriculum has become a challenge for educational reforms, too. Latvian teacher educators are looking for appropriate Curriculum content and strategies, in order to promote pre-service teachers with understanding of integrated learning, courage and ability to implement them in professional activities. The aim of an article is analyze possibilities how to improve the pre-service teachers’ readiness to plan integrated lessons for study practice. Metho…

Touchless gestural interfaces for networked public displays

2015

In the near future, we can easily imagine a significant increment in diffusion of networked public displays, as well as novel interaction modalities used in their applications. In the following, we present two of the main challenges related to networked displays we are dealing with, with a particular focus on touchless gestural interfaces: overcoming interaction blindness (i.e. enable users to immediately guess the interactivity of the display, and the gestural nature of it) and performing evaluations in-the-wild (i.e. outside any controlled environment).

The addition of interleukin-2 to cyclophosphamide therapy can facilitate tumor growth of B16 melanoma.

1995

The role of interleukin-2 (IL-2) on tumor growth of B16F10 melanoma cells was assessed in two sets of mice with different immune status: normal (immunocompetent) mice and immunodeficient mice. The two sets of animals were treated with cyclophosphamide (CY) or IL-2 alone or with a combined therapy of CY+IL-2. On days 6 and 10 after tumor cell injection, we evaluated the incidence of hepatic B16 melanoma metastases and the percentage of hepatic volume occupied by metastatic tissue. We observed that the CY alone (300 mg/kg, days 3 and 8 post-tumoral inoculation) significantly reduced tumor growth in all treated mice; however, CY proved more effective in normal recipients than in immunodeficien…

L'émergence de la notion de "pôle d'échanges" : entre interconnexion des réseaux et structuration des territoires

2008

This article explores the concept of " interchange station ", through an analysis terminology. The evolution of semantic networks nodes that we detail in this work, shows a more off their dual dimension to both network element and territory. Based on a literature review, this terminology will help clarify neighbours words used in different contexts. The article demonstrate that the emergence of the term " interchange station " and its equivalent " park and ride" makes sense in relation to the evolution of these devices. Indeed, the need to "appoint" those places complex demonstrates their importance in the organization of networks and urban functions (distribution of the habitat, activity, …
