Needle bevel orientation does not affect diffusion of contrast medium during perineural injection of the lateral palmar/plantar nerve and lateral palmar metacarpal/plantar metatarsal nerves Open
Summary Background Perineural anaesthesia is used to localise pain in horses presenting with lameness. Diffusion of local anaesthetics during perineural analgesia complicates clinical interpretation. Needle bevel orientation has been shown…

What Is the Prevalence and Fate of Myxoid Soft-Tissue Tumors With an Indeterminate Diagnosis Prior to Resection? Open
Introduction: Differentiating benign and malignant myxoid soft-tissue tumors preoperatively can be challenging due to shared clinical, imaging, and histologic features. Biopsy specimens are frequently described as “low-grade myxoid neoplas…

Distinguishing benign and malignant myxoid soft tissue tumors: Performance of radiomics vs. radiologists Open
Introduction Benign and malignant myxoid soft tissue tumors have shared clinical, imaging, and histologic features that can make diagnosis challenging. The purpose of this study is comparison of the diagnostic performance of a radiomic bas…

The connection between non-normality and trophic coherence in directed graphs Open
Trophic coherence and non-normality are both ways of describing the overall directionality of directed graphs or networks. Trophic coherence can be regarded as a measure of how neatly a graph can be divided into distinct layers, whereas no…

The impact of paediatric epilepsy and co-occurring neurodevelopmental disorders on functional brain networks in wake and sleep Open
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders in children. Diagnosing epilepsy in children can be very challenging, especially as it often coexists with neurodevelopmental conditions like autism and ADHD. Functional brain netwo…

Fitness-Based Growth of Directed Networks with Hierarchy Open
Growing attention has been brought to the fact that many real directed networks exhibit hierarchy and directionality as measured through techniques like Trophic Analysis and non-normality. We propose a simple growing network model where th…

Measures of Admission Immunocoagulopathy as an Indicator for In-Hospital Mortality in Patients with Necrotizing Fasciitis Open
Background: Necrotizing fasciitis is a rapidly progressive infection with a high mortality rate. Pathogens evade the host containment and bactericidal mechanisms by hijacking the coagulation and inflammation signaling pathways, leading to …

Influence and Influenceability: Global Directionality in Directed Complex Networks Open
Knowing which nodes are influential in a complex network and whether the network can be influenced by a small subset of nodes is a key part of network analysis. However, many traditional measures of importance focus on node level informati…

Strong Connectivity in Real Directed Networks Open
In many real, directed networks, the strongly connected component of nodes which are mutually reachable is very small. This does not fit with current theory, based on random graphs, according to which strong connectivity depends on mean de…
