Abstract:
Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVFs) are the most common type of spinal arteriovenous malformation and frequently cause progressive myelopathy. Early detection and surgical or endovascular intervention are important to preventing permanent neurologic impairment. Selective spinal angiography is still the gold standard for the diagnosis and localization of the SDAVF. Occasionally, these lesions may be angiographically occult. Here we report a case of an angiographically occult SDAVF, which was localized using magnetic resonance angiography. The lesion was successfully treated by direct surgery.

Veins of Thorax
The azygos vein, positioned just right of the midline and anterior to the vertebral column, begins at the junction of the right ascending lumbar and subcostal veins, terminating in the superior vena cava. This vein drains blood from the right side of the thoracic wall, thoracic viscera, and posterior abdominal wall.

Multiple Regression
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...
