In this article I will briefly review the current status of radio observations of nearby supernovae and their remnants. This review will initially address observations of the radio light curves of nearby core-collapse supernovae, followed by a more detailed summary of recent Very Long Baseline Interferometric observations of the expansion of nearby supernovae and their remnants. These later sec...

accessory pathways (ap) are abnormal myocardial connections between atria and ventricles with electrical conductive properties. we performed radio frequency (rf) catheter ablation in 66 patients with manifest ap at dr.shariati hospital during 5 years. bipolar mapping was used in 48 patients and unipolar mapping in 18 patients of find the best site for rf energy delivery. we calculated total dur...

introduction: patients administered with a therapeutic dose of 131i for thyroid cancer treatment are potential sources of unacceptably high radiation exposure to other individuals, particularly the patient's immediate family members. the aim of this study is to investigate effects of early liothyronine consumption after radio-iodine therapy on accumulated dose and exposure rate in patients with...

background: gts, ptsm and atsm are bis-thiosemicarbazone ligands used in the preparation of copper radiopharmaceuticals. chemical structure of these materials indicates that they should have radio-protective effects. objective: to study the radio-protective effects of gts, ptsm and atsm. methods: this study has focused on radio-protective effects of these compounds at different doses (20, 40 an...

background: contrast nephropathy will increase mortality up to 30% following angiographic procedures. adenosine is a crucial mediator of contrast-induced nephropathy. the purpose of this study was to investigate whether the adenosine antagonist theophylline reduces the incidence of cn after coronary angiography. methods: in this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial study,...

background: about 83% of patients with breast cancer (bc) undergo radiation therapy. these patients show various degrees of mild to acute reactions during and after the completion of treatment.the aim of this study was to compare inherent radiosensitivity of gamma-irradiated g0-lymphocytes between bc patients and normal individuals using cytokinesis blocked micronucleous assay. methods: three t...

av-node modification by catheter rf energy delivery is treatment of choice in the symptomatic patients with avnrt. this study included 30 patients with avnrt (19 women, 11 men). we did slow pathway ablation in 29 cases successfully. maximum effective energy delivery was 40 watts for 40 msec. 1:1 av conduction increased from 290±40 msec before ablation to 340±65 msec after ablation. also av-node...

radio frequency identification (rfid) is used to identify the characteristics of an object wirelessly using radio waves. the purpose of this technology in this study is mainly focused on healthcare for inventory management and theft control replacing the manual logs. the storage and tracking of high-cost inventory items is developed. automatic reordering and billing interfaces are designed for ...

conclusions these findings suggest that exposure to tc-99m could induce a radio-adaptive response against the exposure of tl-201. background low dose radiation will induce adaptation and following exposure to an adaptive dose, the cells are more resistance to following challenging doses. this phenomenon is known as radio-adaptive response. the aim of this study was to investigate the percentage...

introduction: applying information technology in healthcare system is one of the most important criteria of the world health organization for evaluating the quality of healthcare systems of different countries. moreover, applying this technology in different parts of health care system can create great potentials for improving the quality of healthcare services. in this regard, radio frequency ...
