Bedsides diagnosis using portable ultrasound scanning (PUS) offering comfortable diagnosis with various clinical advantages, in general, ultrasound scanners suffer from a poor signal-to-noise ratio, and physicians who operate the device at point-of-care may not be adequately trained to perform high level diagnosis. Such scenarios can be eradicated by incorporating ambient intelligence in PUS. I...

We propose a distributed spectrum access algorithm for cognitive radio relay networks with multiple primary users (PU) and multiple secondary users (SU) utilizing multiple antennas at their transmitter. The overlay model is considered, where the PUs allow spectrum access opportunities for the SUs, in exchange for the SUs cooperatively relaying the PUs’ data in exchange for both spectrum access ...

We proposed Text-To-Speech (TTS) synthesis system based on phonetic concatenation for unrestricted input text. The input text is first converted into phonetic transcription using Letter-to-Sound rules. For synthesis of a new speech, TTS system selects the recorded phoneme units (PUs) from database and modifies the duration according to the rule based on spelling using Time Domain Pitch Synchron...

FIG. 1 Crusted lesions with bullae the arrow showing level of pus (Hypopyon sign). A 5-year-old girl presented to us with complaints of exudative painful lesions on the face and upper back for 6 days. The lesions started as multiple fluid filled lesions on the face which turned turbid, ruptured, spread and involved the back. On examination, multiple pustules with level of pus (positive hypopyon...

Renal cell cancers are the most prevalent type of malign renal masses. Sarcomas are one of the rarest subtypes. Primary renal sarcomas make up 1e3% of all renal malign masses. Previously known as malign fibrosis histiocytoma (MFH), pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma (PUS) is the most prevalent soft tissue tumor in adults, with a 20% occurrence rate. PUS has a histologically wide range, the mo...

very irritable, and he is able to take very little nourishment. The abscess was tapped to-day, and about 4 ounces of thick pus drawn off by the aspirator: a slight return of fever in the evening. April 2nd?Again a small collection of pus was drawn off by the aspirator and weak carbolic lotion injected. 3rd.?As it was evident the abscess was not properly emptied by the tapping and aspiration, al...

THE diagnosis of subphrenic abscesses can be notoriously difficult. This fact is well expressed by the well known aphorism: 'Pus somewhere, pus nowhere else, pus under the diaphragm'. Even more puzzling can be the features when complications, which occur relatively f.requently, dominate the clinical picture. The situation of the subphrenic spaces, hidden under the rigid concavity of the ribs an...

To enable mobile stations (MSs) of secondary users (SUs) in cognitive radio (CR) networks sharing a common channel with MSs of primary users (PUs) is an important but challenging issue. In this paper, a cooperative spatial multiplexing (CSM) scheme is proposed, where base station (BS) in CR network has K antennas and each SU or PU has one antenna only, and BS supports PUs and SUs by K spatial c...

Six hundred and nine urine samples were analyzed for pyuria to assess its efficacy as a predictor of bacteriuria, in catheterized patients, using different techniques of pus cells estimation. In 235 and 323 urine samples, pus cells were counted per high power field in centrifuged and uncentrifuged urine respectively, while in 51 urine samples pus cells were counted per cubic millimeter in uncen...
