Cyberknife Radioablation of Prostate Cancer – Preliminary Results for 400 Patients

Objectives: To evaluate the tolerance and effectiveness of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) applied in the treatment of low and intermediate risk (LR & IR) prostate cancer patients (PCP) and provide an evaluation of the level of risk group impact on treatment results. In addition, androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) usage and prostatic specific antigen (PSA) decline after SABR were asse...

Current Issues in ICD SVT-VT Discrimination: Pacing for SVT-VT Discrimination

Synthesis strategies for sub-VT systems

Various synthesis strategies relying on conventional standard-cell libraries (SCLs) are evaluated in order to minimize the energy dissipation per operation in sub-threshold (sub-VT) systems. First, two sub-VT analysis methods are reviewed, both of which allow to evaluate the energy dissipation and performance in the sub-VT regime for designs which have been synthesized using a 65-nm CMOS SCL, c...

Reuse: Revisiting Sisyphus-VT

Reuse has long been a major goal of the Knowledge Engineering community. The focus of this paper is the reuse of domain knowledge acquired for an initial problem solver, with a further problem solver. For our analysis we chose a knowledge base system written in CLIPS based on the propose-andrevise (PnR) problem solver, and which had a lift/elevator knowledge base (KB). Given the nature of the p...

Hypothermia for non-VF/ VT cardiac arrest

Sudden cardiac death represents a major health problem. In adults, the prevalence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) attended by the emergency medical services (EMS) ranges from 52 to 112 per 100,000 person-years in developed countries [1], whereas the prevalence of adult in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) ranges from 1 to 5 per 1,000 patient admissions [2]. Mortality from cardiac arrest e...
