Non-Contrast Computed Tomography Scan Based Parameters of Ureteric Stones Affecting the Outcome of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy
OBJECTIVE To compare the non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) scan-based parameters of ureteric stones affecting the outcome of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the pre-procedure NCCT of 74 patients who had ESWL for solitary ureteric calculi of 5-20 mm in diameter. We assessed the age, sex, basal metabolic index (BMI), latera...
متن کاملEfficacy of Tamsulosin Spontaneous Expulsion in the Treatment of Distal Ureteric Stones
Objective: The objective of study was to determine the efficacy of Tamsulosin (alpha blocker) in spontaneous expulsion of 4-7mm ureteric stones in the distal segment of the ureter. Subjects and methods: This randomized controlled trial study was conducted in the department of Urology, Shaikh Zayed Hospital between 24 th November, 2008 to 24 th May, 2009. A total 90 patients with lower ureteric ...
متن کاملNormative Vertebral Hounsfield Unit Values and Correlation with Bone Mineral Density
Background: We hypothesized that vertebral bone mineral density as measured in Hounsfield units (HU) by computed tomography (CT) can correlate with values obtained by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Our study aimed to report such a correlation along with the normative HU values within a large, heterogeneous population. Methods: We identified 2,020 trauma patients with a CT scan encompassing an...

نظریه هوش چندگانه قسمتهای متفاوت هوش بشری را مورد بررسی قرار می دهد که با شناخت آن شخص به درک بهتری از توانایی های خود میرسد و در نتیجه سعی در استفاده از آن جهت یادگیری بهتر میکند. همچنین با شناخت استعداد دانش آموزان، فرایند یادگیری بهتر میشود. هدف از انجام دادن این تحقیق بررسی رابطه بین هوش ریاضی و استعداد یادگیری زبان انگلیسی میباشد. برای انجام این تحقیق از پرسشنامه هوش ریاضی که توسط شیرر در ...
Reversal Trend of Hounsfield Unit Values of Substances with High and Low Effective Atomic Numbers
Introduction: In dual-energy computed tomography (DECT), the Hounsfield values of a substance measured at two different energies are the basic data for finding the chemical properties of a substance. The trends of Hounsfield unit (HU) alterations following the changes in energy are different between the materials with high and low Zeff. The present study aim...
