Hepatic artery thrombosis after liver transplantation is a devastating event requiring emergency retransplantation in most patients. Early clinical signs are often nonspecific. Before duplex sonography (combined real-time and pulsed Doppler) capability was acquired in October 1984, 76% of all transplants in this institution referred for angiography with a clinical suspicion of hepatic artery th...

This work addresses the problem of compensating for differential Doppler shifts due to source motion in a time-reversal mirror. Time reversal is a feedback wave focusing technique that can be used in poorly-characterized media, and is quite appealing in bidirectional underwater communications as it allows multipath to be transparently canceled in highly dispersive channels. Under simplifying as...

BACKGROUND Children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are at higher risk of early adult-onset cardiovascular disease. We assessed cardiovascular structure and function in adolescents with T1D compared with healthy controls and the relationships between peripheral vascular function and myocardial parameters. METHODS AND RESULTS 199 T1D [14.4 ± 1.6 years, diabetes duration 6.2 (2.0-12.8) years] and 17...

AIMS Patients with heart failure (HF) show abnormal arterial stiffening. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined 60 patients (52.1 +/- 12, 8 years) with non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDC), New York Heart Association II-III, in sinus rhythm, left ventricular ejection fraction 30.1 +/- 8.6%, and 44 normals. All subjects underwent an echocardiographic study and a cardiopulmonary exercise test. ...

This thesis describes the laser Doppler technique based on a self-mixing effect in a diode laser to noninvasive cardiovascular pulse detection in a human wrist above the radial artery. The main applications of self-mixing interferometry described in this thesis in addition to pulse detection are arterial pulse shape and autonomic regulation measurements. The elastic properties of the arterial w...

The design of a weather radar system, as well as its scanning strategies, involves various tradeoffs based upon the goal of observing certain features of interest. The tradeoffs made in this design are based on certain assumptions about the performance of the radar system and on characteristics of the feature of interest. Often, the development of algorithms and optimal scanning strategies requ...

Wideband waveform techniques, such as pulse compression, allow for accurate weather radar measurements in a short data acquisition time. However, for extended targets such as precipitation systems, range sidelobes mask and corrupt observations of weak phenomena occurring near areas of strong echoes. Therefore, sidelobe suppression is extremely important in precisely determining the echo scatter...

Background: Echocardiographic findings of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) are diagnostic in infants and young children, and echocardiography may be the only examination required prior to surgery. Global left ventricular function determined by conventional Doppler may be normal in these patients; but regional myocardial function assessment by tissue Doppler if abnormal in these patients may affect out...

The present study investigated consistency of the constant frequency (CF) portion of biosonar pulse s emitted by CF-FM bats and relationship between the pulse emission and wing motion. Here, pulse CF2 frequency at rest, closely related to the reference frequency, was measured for several months. Besides, Doppler-shift compensation was investigated on different days by a telemetry-microphone (Te...
