Simplified Placental Localization

Simplified placental localization.

Localization of the placenta by means of technetium-99m and a portable scintillation counter and ratemeter proved to be both simple and accurate. It could be performed by resident obstetric staff with minimal technical knowledge, and the radiation dosage was low.

Placental Localization by Arteriography

At the present time the only certain method of diagnosing placenta praevia in 3 pregnant woman who has had an ante-partum haemorrhage is by examination under anaesthesia. The examination is usually deferred until the 38th week of pregnancy) when the foetus is considered to be sufficiently mature should premature delivery have to be effected. The procedure is traumatic and may induce labour with...

Characterization and localization of human placental ferritin.

Ferritin has been purified from normal full-term human placentae and its antigenic and molecular characteristics compared with adult liver ferritin. Placental ferritin is composed predominantly of a single subunit type, co-migrating with a liver ferritin standard on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. Comparison of dose-response curves in an immunoradiometric assay indic...

Localization of Characteristic Peaks in Cardiac Signal: A Simplified Approach

Cardiovascular system study using Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals have evolved tremendously in the research domain of medical electronics and signal processing community. The extraction of characteristic points of an ECG signal helps in detection of any irregularities if present. This paper attempts to provide the basic understanding of ECG signal, pre-processing and extraction of fiducial poin...
