Online PET Reconstruction From List-Mode Data

This work proposes an alternative to ordered subsets to improve the convergence speed of list-mode expectationmaximization image reconstruction algorithms. Instead of subdividing the input data into non-overlapping subsets, the stream of measured coincidence events is immediately processed online. The reconstruction algorithm maintains a sliding window covering the events that contribute to the...

Marginal cardiac allografts do not have increased primary graft dysfunction in alternate list transplantation.

BACKGROUND Clinical success with modern heart transplantation (HT) has led to the development of an alternate list (AL) HT strategy, matching marginal cardiac allografts with recipients who do not meet standard criteria for HT. Marginal allografts may be at an increased risk for primary graft dysfunction (PGD), the leading cause of early mortality after HT.(1) The incidence of PGD in AL HT rela...

Production of bacterial cellulose from alternate feedstocks.

Production of bacterial cellulose by Acetobacter xylinum ATCC 10821 and 23770 in static cultures was tested from unamended food process effluents. Effluents included low-solids (LS) and high-solids (HS) potato effluents, cheese whey permeate (CW), or sugar beet raffinate (CSB). Strain 23770 produced 10% less cellulose from glucose than did strain 10821 and diverted more glucose to gluconate. Un...
