Image reconstruction of fluorescent molecular tomography (FMT) often involves repeatedly solving large-dimensional matrix equations, which are computationally expensive, especially for the case where there are large deviations in the optical properties between the target and the reference medium. In this paper, a wavelet-based multiresolution reconstruction approach is proposed for the FMT reco...

Abstract: In this paper a concept will be presented that introduces a new element called forwarding mobile terminal (FMT) to the HiperLAN/2 (H/2) world. The FMT is designed to provide users in uncovered areas with access to the fixed Internet by providing an intermediate hop. The FMT is introduced in a way that it is backward compatible to existing H/2 equipment. The FMT is a modified H/2 mobil...

Definitely, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a promising research area in disorders with dysbiosis. It is not a novel therapy, however recent advances in gut microbiota research enabled physicians to practice FMT in a more scientific basis. One of the main drawbacks in FMT is the safety and adverse events, which are not thoroughly documented in large series. Among these, immunocompromi...

BACKGROUND Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a microbiota-based therapy that shows therapeutic potential in recurrent or refractory Clostridium difficile infections and other intestinal or extra-intestinal disorders. Nonetheless, adverse events (AEs) remain a major challenge in the application of FMT. AIM To review the AEs of FMT and to address the concerns of safety during the proced...

Past research has demonstrated that performance on frontal lobe-dependent tasks is associated with dopamine system integrity and that various dopamine system deficits occur with aging. The positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer 6-[(18)F]fluoro-l-m-tyrosine (FMT) is a substrate of the dopamine-synthesizing enzyme, aromatic amino acid decarboxylase (AADC). Studies using 6-[(18)F]fluorodop...

BACKGROUND Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an effective treatment for recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) that often fails standard antibiotic therapy. Despite its widespread recent use, however, little is known about the stability of the fecal microbiota following FMT. RESULTS Here we report on short- and long-term changes and provide kinetic visualization of fecal micr...

Background and Aims. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a highly effective treatment option for refractory Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). FMT may be challenging in patients with a low performance status, because of their poor medical condition. The aims of this study were to describe our experience treating patients in poor medical condition with refractory or severe complicated ...

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been shown to be a superior therapeutic modality for the treatment of recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (RCDI). Recently the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determined that human stool should be classified as a biological agent and its use should be regulated to ensure patient safety. Consequently, the FDA determined that prescribers of F...

Multicarrier systems are adopted in several standards for their ability to achieve optimal performance in highly dispersive channels. In particular, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Filtered Multitone (FMT) systems are two special cases of multicarrier systems which differs in terms of spectral partitioning. FMT does not require any cyclic prefix and virtual carriers, thus ...

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is the infusion of liquid filtrate feces from a healthy donor into the gut of a recipient to cure a specific disease. A fecal suspension can be administered by nasogastric or nasoduodenal tube, colonoscope, enema, or capsule. The high success rate and safety in the short term reported for recurrent Clostridium difficile infection has elevated FMT as an eme...
