Factors influencing the rate of 201Tl clearance from the myocardium have not been clearly defined. This study determined the effect of an intravenous infusion of glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) on the net 201Tl clearance rates from myocardium with and without initial 201Tl loading. Anesthetized open-chest dogs underwent 5 min of left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion and intravenous...

The fast growth of medical records provides new opening for meaningful information retrieval in clinical diagnosis and treatment. Although nursing and pathology records provide a complete account of patient's information they are not fully utilized while taking major decisions of surgery or chemo therapy on patients. This research proposes a Minimum spanning tree algorithm to develop k-clu...

We provide a method that enables the simple calculation of the maximal correlation coefficient of a bivariate distribution, under suitable conditions. In particular, the method readily applies to known results on order statistics and records. As an application we provide a new characterization of the exponential distribution: Under a splitting model on independent identically distributed observ...
