Open AccessA case of successful management for spontaneous rupture of paraganglioma treated with preoperative transcatheter arterial embolization
Tumors arising from catecholamine-producing chromophil cells in paraganglia are termed paragangliomas (PGLs), which biologically resemble pheochromocytomas (PCCs) that arise from the adrenal glands. Spontaneou...

Kryszkiewicz’s Relation for Indiscernibility of Objects in Data Tables Containing Missing Values
We check Kryszkiewicz’s approach for rough sets in data tables containing missing values in terms of Lipski’s approach based on possible world semantics. The relation for indiscernibility of objects used by Kr...

Extending Kryszkiewicz’s Formula of Missing Values in Terms of Lipski’s Approach
When extracting any information from a data table with incomplete information, following Lipski we only know the lower and the upper bound of the information. Methods of rough sets that are applied to data tab...
