In emergency situations such as hazardous gas leak, search and estimation for identifying source information, known term (STE), in a timely accurate manner is of significant importance. real world situations, obstacles buildings or barriers not only block the path but also interfere flow source. For autonomous using mobile sensor obstacle-rich environments, this paper proposes an information-th...

Males carrying a large deficiency in the long arm of the Y chromosome known to delete the fertility gene kl-2 are sterile and exhibit a complex phenotype: (1) First metaphase chromosomes are irregular in outline and appear sticky; (2) spermatids contain micronuclei; (3) the nebenkerns of the spermatids are nonuniform in size; (4) a high molecular weight protein ordinarily present in sperm is ab...

A 36-year-old man with classic angina pectoris had marked ST-segment elevation (STE) in the inferior leads on stress-testing in the absence of chest pain. There was no evidence of previous myocardial infarction (MI). Selective coronary arteriography delineated severe obstructions in the right coronary artery (RCA) with additional left circumflex coronary artery (LCx) obstruction. Left ventricul...

Arterial hypertension (HtN) is one of the common diseases associated with the increased incidence of heart failure 1, 2 and is one of the independent risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF) 3, 4 through perpetual structural and functional changes in the left atrium (LA) 5. Hypertensive cardiopathy starts in the left ventricle (LV) 6 while ejection fraction (eF) is still maintained 7. subseque...

The aim of this study was to obtain a randomized, clinical and radiological comparison of implants with and without platform switching (PFS). The two compared titanium implant types differed only in the microgap position: test (PFS) or control (StE, no PFS). All implants were inserted in posterior regions and followed up for six months after abutment connection (AC). Twenty one patients with 21...

Introduction: The stimulated-echo (STE) can be used to provide high sensitivity to diffusion and flow (1). We have recently applied a STE acquisition mode (STEAM) to hyperpolarized [1-C]pyruvate metabolic imaging and found improved tumor contrast (2). The STE distinguishes whether [1-C]pyruvate is converted to [1-C]lactate within the tissue or whether the [1-C]lactate was produced elsewhere and...

Despite the success of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) for treating heart failure (HF), rate nonresponders remains 30%. Improvements to CRT require understanding reverse remodeling and relationship between electrical mechanical measures synchrony. The objective was utilize electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI, a method noninvasive electrophysiology mapping) speckle tracking echocardiograp...
