Abstract Introduction The SYNTAX III REVOLUTION trial demonstrated that clinical decision-making between coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and percutaneous intervention (PCI) based on computed tomography (CCTA) predicting four years mortality according to the score II had a high agreement with treatment decision derived from invasive angiography (ICA). of novel 2020 (SS-2020) CCTA ICA has not...

• Invasive coronary angiography was performed in high risk transplant candidates. Multidisciplinary decision on listing for and revascularisation. 169 patients listed underwent angiography, 73 had artery disease. Coronary disease did not affect 5-year survival post-transplant. Cardiovascular assessment is central to evaluation of liver (LT) However, there a lack consensus the diagnostic algorit...

A traumatic internal carotid artery (ICA) aneurysm is rare and difficult to treat. Trapping of ICA is commonly performed owing to the difficulty of directly approaching ICA aneurysms. Recently, coiling the aneurysm itself was recommended if possible. However, it is controversial which of methods are best to completely treat aneurysm. We present the case of a 74-year-old man, who had experienced...

OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that glucose ingestion leads to a decrease in plasma ionized calcium (iCa) and ionized magnesium (iMg) during the third trimester of pregnancy. METHODS We studied 54 women who underwent a 50 g glucose challenge test (GCT) and 27 women who underwent a 3-hour 100 g glucose tolerance test (GTT) because of an abnormal GCT. Plasma glucose was measured with an autom...

BACKGROUND Prophylactic administration of calcitriol has been suggested to mitigate the risk of hypocalcemia after parathyroidectomy. The effect of calcitriol on postoperative serum ionized calcium concentrations has not been evaluated in dogs after parathyroidectomy. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES To determine the effect of prophylactic calcitriol administration on postoperative serum ionized calcium...

Independent component analysis (ICA) utilizing prior information, also called semiblind ICA, has demonstrated considerable promise in the analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). So far, temporal information about fMRI has been used in temporal ICA or spatial ICA as additional constraints to improve estimation of task-related components. Considering that prior information about...

Independent component analysis (ICA) is vital for unsupervised learning and blind source separation (BSS). The ICA unsupervised learning procedure attempts to demix the observation vectors and identify the salient features or mixture sources. This work presents a novel contrast function for evaluating the dependence among sources. A convex divergence measure is developed by applying the convex ...

We newly propose a novel blind separation framework for SingleInput Multiple-Output (SIMO)-model-based acoustic signals using the extended ICA algorithm, SIMO-ICA. The SIMO-ICA consists of multiple ICAs and a fidelity controller, and each ICA runs in parallel under the fidelity control of the entire separation system. The SIMO-ICA can separate the mixed signals, not into monaural source signals...

Artery Arising from the Internal Carotid Artery I read with interest the article by Chan et al. They stated that there was a rare congenital anastomosis between the vertebral artery (VA) and internal carotid artery (ICA) with an absence of communication between the common carotid and cervical ICA. I, however, diagnose that there was an acquired occlusion of the ICA at its origin with a developm...
