PURPOSE To evaluate a technique for contrast agent preparation as mixing the patients' blood with agitated saline and to compare it with agitated saline alone in diagnosis of cardiac right-to-left shunt in regard to their sensitivity, time window, and distribution of artificially induced microembolic signals. METHODS Fifty-two patients with stroke who had Transesophageal echocardiography prov...

The application of kalman filter in tracking the maneuver target is not available as it is used in tracking the target of uniform motion. Therefore, a improved method for tracking a maneuver target is proposed. In the proposed approach, the maneuver detector provides the estimate of time instant at which a target starts to maneuver, when a target maneuver is determined, the kalman filter model ...

overtaking a slow lead vehicle is a complex maneuver because of the variety of overtaking conditions and driver behavior. in this study, two novel prediction models for overtaking behavior are proposed. these models are derived based on multi-input multi-output adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (manfis). they are validated at microscopic level and are able to simulate and predict the future...

Muller cyst is very rare. It found in about 5% of azoosperm patients. a residual embryological vestige the female genital organ men. collection developed uterine cavity man called prostatic utricle. [1] it benign lesion, most often congenital, rarely acquired. This lesion may be asymptomatic or symptomatic, and rare cases associated with renal agenesis. [2] various means treatment, treatment co...

The displacement of the larynx in the three specific directions (a) posteriorly against the cervical vertebrae, (b) superiorly as possible, and (c) slightly laterally to the right have been reported and named the "BURP" maneuver. We evaluated the efficacy of the BURP maneuver in improving visualization of the larynx. Six hundred thirty patients without obvious malformation of the head and neck ...

In this paper, some results are provided for minimum time roll about velocity vector maneuvering with thrust-vectoring and aerodynamic control in effect. The mathematical model for attitude motions of the aircraft is developed. First order necessary conditions for optimality using Pontryagen principle is applied, and the existence of an extreme family of solutions for the maneuver is shown. Mul...
