OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to evaluate parameters of early blood flow (EBF) including duration of EBF, perfusion index (PI), uptake indexes 1 and 2 (UI1 and UI2) derived from dynamic thyroid scintigraphy in patients with Graves' disease (GD), and euthyroid (EI). Maximum instant uptake and maximum uptake of the thyroid gland were also assessed. METHODS A total of 50 patients wi...

background: as we all know, sperm has the capacity to take up foreign dna, therefore, sperm mediated gen transfer can be an inexpensive and simple method in animal transgenesis in various species. however, there is not sufficient evidence of dna uptake by ovine spermatozoa. objectives: the purpose of the present study was to examine the uptake of human lysozyme gene contained plasmid (pegfp-ire...

In this work we present a soft sensor to accurately estimate the yield coefficient YX/S and substrate uptake capacity qSmax in cultivation process using offgas measurements nonlinear state observer with an underlying mechanistic model. The structural observability analysis of model showed that both parameters are observable given available measurement information. different simulation scenarios...

The study compared five treadmill protocols (four utilising a motorised, and one a non-motorised, treadmill) on maximum oxygen uptake. The five male and five female subjects, all actively engaged in training, were assigned the tests in random order. Statistical analysis revealed no significant differences between the five protocols for maximal oxygen uptake, maximum ventilation, maximum heart r...

Hydrothermal and non-hydrothermal spherical TiO2 nanoporous with crystalline framework were prepared by sol-gel method. The Crystalline structures, morphologies and surface texturing of materials were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms. The Hydrothermal spherical TiO2 nanoporous was found to have a narrow and strong p...

Purpose: To study the relationship between (FDG) uptake expressed quantitatively as standardized uptake values (SUVs) in normal breast tissues and breast density, age, menopausal status determined during dual-time point FDGPET/CT imaging. Materials and Methods: maximum and average SUVs were determined in two hundred eighty four patients (all females; mean age 55.5 ± 14.1 range 13-84 years, 115 ...
