OBJECTIVES To ascertain current use of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) after paediatric cardiac arrest in UK emergency departments (EDs), and views on participating in a UK randomised controlled trial (RCT) incorporating early induction of TH in ED. DESIGN Anonymous web-based survey of 77 UK Emergency Medicine (EM) consultants from 28 UK EDs that see children during the period April-June 2010. ...

The Non-Local Means (NLM) method of denoising has received considerable attention in the image processing community due to its performance, despite its simplicity. In this paper, we show that NLM is a zero-th order kernel regression method, with a very specific choice of kernel. As such, it can be generalized. The original method of NLM, we show, implicitly assumes local constancy of the underl...

Hagen, G. 3D Rotational Angiography of Transplanted Renal Arteries. A Clinical and Experimental Study. 46 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 91-506-1748-6. Th ree-dimensional rotational angiography (3D-RA) is an established method within the fi eld of interventional neuroradiology. Th e method has also a great potential in other areas with a complicated arterial anatomy. Th e purpose of this study was fi rstly ...

The scalar two-loop master diagram is revisited in the massive cases needed for the computation of boson and fermion propagators in QED and QCD. By means of the causal method it is possible in a straightforward manner to express the propagators as double integrals. In the case of vacuum polarization both integrations can be carried out in terms of polylogarithms, whereas the last integral in th...
