Techniques to Achieve Optimal Small Bowel Imaging for Capsule Endoscopy
Small bowel video capsule endoscopy provides visualization of the gastrointestinal tract by transmitting images wirelessly from a disposable capsule to a data recorder worn by the patient.1 The capsule is activated by removal from a magnetic holder and provides image accrual and transmission at a frequency of 2 frames per second until the battery expires after 7+ 1 hour.2 FDA-approved systems a...

متن کامل[Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension].
INTRODUCTION Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) is a surgical procedure which is considered the only effective and potentially curative treatment for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). CTEPH is a rare outcome from pulmonary emboli and, when left untreated, will result in right ventricular failure and death. METHODS From June 1999 to November 2003, 40 of these procedures...
متن کاملNonlinear Optimal Control Techniques Applied to a Launch Vehicle Autopilot
This paper presents an application of the nonlinear optimal control techniques to the design of launch vehicle autopilots. The optimal control is given by the solution to the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation, which in this case cannot be solved explicity. A method based upon Successive Galerkin Approximation (SGA), is used to obtain an approximate optimal solution. Simulation results invo...
متن کاملPulmonary thromboendarterectomy in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
hypertension (CTEPH) develops in 1-3% of cases following acute pulmonary embolism. The disease is underdiagnosed and under-treated, as statistical studies have shown. Identification of patients with CTEPH is difficult since 90% of them have no apparent disturbance of the coagulation mechanism. CTEPH is a progressive disease, the result of the incomplete lysis of large organised thrombus in the ...
