Epilepsy is one of the most frequent causes of neurological disorders in young adults. We report the case of a patient who lived with the diagnosis of refractory epilepsy for twelve years, when actually the cause of the symptoms could be found with the performance of a tilt table test. Cardiologists should be aware of the possible diagnosis of neurocardiogenic syncope in patients previously dia...

A unified approach to unwarping of omni-images into panoramic or perspective-view images is proposed. The approach does not adopt the conventional technique of calibrating the related parameters of an omni-camera. Instead, it is based on a new concept of a pano-mapping table, which is created once forever, by a simple learning process for an omni-camera of any kind, as a summary of the informat...

Color space transformation using a 3D lookup table (LUT) with interpolation is used to correlate the source and destination color values in the lattice points of a 3D table, where nonlattice points are interpolated by using the nearest lattice points. This method has been used in many applications with quite satisfactory results, and incorporated into the ICC profile standard.1 In this chapter,...

BACKGROUND Water ingestion raises blood pressure substantially in patients with perturbed autonomic control and more modestly in older subjects. It is unclear whether prophylactic water drinking improves orthostatic tolerance in normal healthy adults. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-two healthy subjects, 18 to 42 years of age, with no history of syncope underwent head-up tilt-table testing at 60 d...

BACKGROUND Syncope is an important and common clinical condition, and the neurally mediated syncope is the most frequent type of syncope. Tilt testing is considered as a first-line diagnostic test. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted the conventional and modified tilt test on 200 subjects in the age range of 5-20 years. In conventional protocol, the patient was tilted for up to 15 min without ...

Abstract Introduction The tilt table examination (TTT) is used to investigate patients with syncope for 50 years, and was downgraded by the 2018 Guidelines of European Society Cardiology syncope-evaluation from class I II a/b. Aim study assess changes in referrals TTT 2014 2018. In addition, it examined if there were differences history, clinical findings, results among depending on referral TT...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the amount of plantar pressures on the lower limb during tilt table standing and to indicate the ideal degree of tilting for partial weight bearing. [Subjects and Methods] Fifteen healthy subjects between the ages of 20 and 30 were recruited as volunteers for this study. All the measurements were taken while standing on a tilt table accordi...
