Performance of single-use syringe versus multi-use MR contrast injectors: a prospective comparative study

A comparison of the use of traditional hand injection versus automated contrast injectors during cardiac catheterization.

OBJECTIVE To compare the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) and vascular complications in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization using traditional manual contrast injection techniques with those in which an automated contrast injector device was used. BACKGROUND It has been suggested that use of automated contrast injectors in coronary interventions could reduce complication...

Effects of Mathematical Model of MR Damper on Its Control Performance; A Nonlinear Comparative Study

In this paper, the effect of mathematical representation method of an MR damper on the performance of control algorithm is investigated. The most exact and common Maxwel Nonlinear Slider (MNS) and modified Bouc-Wen hysteretic models are employed through a nonlinear  comparatve numerical study. In many of semi-active control algorithms, a mathematical modelling method is required for determinig ...

Ultrasound scissors: new single-use instruments vs. resterilised single-use instruments – a prospective randomised study

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare reliability in handling and function of resterilised and single-use disposable ultrasonic scissors. METHODS In a prospective randomized study, the surgeon blindly tested new and resterilised ultrasonic scissors. The parameters were force of activation, cutting effect, coagulation effect, error messages and disturbing generator noise. RESULTS 5...
