McVeigh Department of Biomedical Engineering, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, United States, Lab of Cardiac Energetics, NHLBI, National Institutes of Health, DHHS, Bethesda, MD, United States Synopsis MRI motion correction is used to improve image quality while reducing total scan time. The Fourier nature of MRI is used to describe a technique for compensatin...

This paper compares measurement with prediction of ITU-R Recommendation P.1546. This recommendation mainly depends on propagation curves which are based on the measurement result. The basic field strength is derived from the curve corresponding to transmitting antenna height, frequency and required distance and then correction factor is added to this. There are two important correction values i...

Staphylococcus aureus infection begins when bacterial cells circulating in blood adhere to components of the extracellular matrix or endothelial cells of the host and initiate colonization. S. aureus is known to exhibit extensive interactions with platelets. S. aureus is also known to bind to red blood cells (RBCs) in the presence of plasma proteins, such as fibrinogen and IgG. Herein we report...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recent evidence has suggested that shear-induced platelet aggregation is an important mechanism of thrombosis at arterial bifurcations or stenoses. We measured shear-induced platelet aggregation with a new apparatus in patients with cerebral ischemia and also studied correlations with other hemostatic parameters as well as the effect of antiplatelet agents. METHODS The ...

Plantar shear stress has been held accountable as a causative factor in diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) (1,2). Delbridge et al. (2) recognized shear stress as a major causative factor by stating that it is shear rather than vertical load that is responsible for tissue breakdown that occurs deep to the skin. Historically, research in this area has been hampered by an underestimation of the importance...
