No Consistent Methodology Used in Application of RF to Allow Valid Comparisons

No consistent methodology used in application of RF to allow valid comparisons.

With interest, we read the article from Simopoulos et al (1). We have extensively utilized pulsed radiofrequency applications for radicular pain for greater than 10 years. As published earlier (1), it is our experience that outcome is directly related to the proximity of the radiofrequency electrode to the targeted neural structure. Thus, positive stimulation at 50 Hz at less than 0.2 volts wou...

Valid comparisons of antifibrinolytic agents used in cardiac surgery.

Bleeding is a major source of morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgical procedures. Patients who return to the operating room for bleeding have a 4-fold increase in mortality and a similar increase in the rate of sternal infection. The significance of this issue is underscored by the fact that patients undergoing cardiac surgery consume up to 30% of the nation’s blood supply. During massiv...

Application of characteristic X-rays to measure linear attenuation coefficient of nano-composites used in shielding

Using of X-rays in different industries and especially in medical application is increasing. In this regard, designing of light and efficient protective material based on polymeric nanocomposites and precise study of the effect of adding nanoparticles with different sizes on the X-ray attenuation is necessary. In this study the epoxy nanocomposites with different percentages of copper oxide nan...
