Radiofrequency ablation has an established role in the treatment of non-ischaemic ventricular tachycardia. A few patients present with symptomatic but benign ventricular ectopy that can be mapped to the right ventricular outflow tract. The successful use of radiofrequency ablation in a patient with drug resistant, symptomatic ventricular ectopy is reported. Radiofrequency ablation may have a us...

Study Design. Quasiexperimental study. Objective. To investigate whether radiofrequency treatment can preclude the need for spinal surgery in both the short term and long term. Background. Radiofrequency is commonly used to treat lumbosacral radicular pain. Only few studies have evaluated its effects on surgical indications. Methods. We conducted a quasiexperimental study of 43 patients who had...

We report a case of a 81-year-old Caucasian man with colorectal carcinoma, treated by surgery in 1998, referred for palliative treatment of a refractory painful caused by osteolytic metastases of 2.5 cm in back-upper ilium spine. Plasma-mediated radiofrequency ablation was performed under conscious sedation, using Fluoroscopic Computer Tomography guidance. After completing the ablation phase of...

Background: Effect of electromagnetic and radiofrequency fields on human health is not well understood, a concern is its effect on male infertility. With the increased use of modern technology, issue of protection against this fields has great importance. infertility is the problem to follow psychological - social consequences. The most common cause of infertility are: male factor, female facto...

AIMS Thromboembolic complications have been reported after radiofrequency ablation but the low incidence of overt clinical events has been a limitation to the study of factors affecting thrombogenic risk. The aim of this study was to determine whether radiofrequency ablation has a procoagulant effect and to examine variables that affect thrombio generation. METHODS AND RESULTS Thirty-seven co...

One of the most common failures or breakdowns that can occur in high-voltage (HV) equipment is due to partial discharges (PDs). This occurs as a result inadequate insulation, aging, harsh environmental effects, manufacturing flaws. PD detection and recognition methods have gained growing attention seen great progress past decades. Radiometric are one investigated approaches their immunity elect...

radar transmitters emit high-power radiofrequency radiation by creation of a high-voltage and high-frequency alternating electrical current.health effects of occupational exposure to military radar were investigated. visual reaction time was recorded with a simple blind computer-assisted-visual reaction time test. to assess the short-term memory, modified wechsler memory scale test was performe...

background: radiation-induced bystander effect is a response which results in damage in non-irradiated cells in response to signals from the irradiated cells. the aim of the present study was to investigate microwave-induced bystander effect from a gsm mobile phone simulator on induction of apoptosis in jurkat cell line. materials and methods: jurkat cells were divided into three groups of non-...

introduction radiofrequency planar microcoils are used to increase the resolution of magnetic resonance images of small samples. in this study, we aimed to design and fabricate a spiral planar microcoil constructed on a double-sided printed circuit board (pcb). it has four rings with an internal diameter of 241 microns tuned and matched at 63.8 mhz. materials and methods to achieve the maximum ...
