Gamma camera imaging is an important technique in nuclear medicine. It capable of diagnostic metabolically active areas and organ function, it can be used to evaluate blood flow the heart muscle, measure bone growth, detect tumors, perform many other medical studies. a real world application that integrates concepts medicine, physics, geometric optics, data processing, calibration, image format...

Estimations of blood proteins and albuminglobulin ratios are coming to occupy a place of increasing importance in medicine. These estimations are usually carried out only in institutions with biochemical laboratories, and the methods usually used, such as the Kjeldahl method, necessitate special apparatus and equipment. Many hospitals do not have these facilities. There is, therefore, a great n...

OBJECTIVES Biomedicine and complementary and alternative medicine are forming new relationships, under the rubric of integrative medicine. Recently, the military has adopted integrative medicine as the model for pain management. An evaluation was conducted on an integrative model for pain management at a major Army medical center to determine the distinct challenges that were encountered during...

gamma camera is an important apparatus in nuclear medicine imaging. its detection part is consists of a scintillation detector with aheavy collimator. substitution of semiconductor detectors instead of scintillator in these cameras has been effectively studied. in this study, it is aimed to introduce a new design of p-n semiconductor detector array for nuclear medicine imaging. a p-n semiconduc...

RONALD E. JOHNSON, DPM JAMES R. VEALE, PhD GREG J. McCARTHY, BS The purpose of this study was to compare the ability of four commonly used ankle support devices (Active Ankle, Aircast Sport Stirrup, DonJoy Ankle Ligament Protector and Malleoloc) to restrict active inversion range of motion before and after exercise. The subjects also compared the devices on subjective characteristics including ...

Social and cultural factors influencing knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) towards leprosy in two communities in eastern Sudan were studied to determine their effects on treatment seeking and compliance. The study was qualitative using focus small group discussions, personal interviews and direct observation. The target populations were Masalit and Hawsa, the two main tribes in the area. ...
