Postsystolic shortening in ischemic myocardium: active contraction or passive recoil?
BACKGROUND Postsystolic shortening in ischemic myocardium has been proposed as a marker of tissue viability. Our objectives were to determine if postsystolic shortening represents active fiber shortening or passive recoil and if postsystolic shortening may be quantified by strain Doppler echocardiography (SDE). METHODS AND RESULTS In 15 anesthetized dogs, we measured left ventricular (LV) pre...
متن کاملP01.21. Effect of acupuncture on isotonic contraction of elbow flexor
Methods Subjects are 20 healthy males. Maximum Voluntary Contraction (MVC) of elbow flexor was measured using a strain gauge prior to exercise (MVC1). Subjects received acupuncture stimulation before the exercise on their biceps brachii. The stimulation is either deep needling (targeting muscle; mACU) or superficial needling (sACU). The exercise protocol contains 5 sets * 10 repetitions of maxi...
متن کاملPrecise Cross-Section Estimation on Tubular Organs
In this article we present a new method to estimate precisely the cross-section of tubular organs. Obtaining a precise cross-section is the critical step to perform quantitative analysis of those organs, for which diameter or area are often correlated to pathologies. Our estimation method, based on a covariance measure from the Voronoi cells of the set of studied points, can be computed either ...
متن کاملA Framework for Tubular Organs Segmentation
Tubular organs (blood vessels and bronchial tubes), because of their anti-compact nature, generally appear randomly cross-sectioned in CT slices. Because of this, it’s difficult to analyze this kind of organ. We show how to use a previously presented work of ours to segment, and therefore be able to measure, tubular organs extracting local axis oriented slices. Finally, we show some examples of...
متن کاملPrioritizing simple administrative measures to ensure appropriate tuberculosis infection control
Results “WHO Policy on TB-IC in Health-Care Facilities, Congregate Settings and Households” (2009) recommended the implementation of a set of measures (administrative, personal protection, environmental). Since, WHO and other partners have been engaged in a series of actions, including Regional/National trainings of hundreds of professionals and Technical Assistance to countries. A new indicato...
