this paper presents a new method called vespiary regular hexagonal (vrh) model to calculate parasitic capacitance between conductor wire filaments of one turn of a coil and between conductor wires filament and liner and also total capacitance of n-turns having single-layers, multi-conductor wire filaments of the helix magneto cumulative generator (mcg) coil. the presented method is an analytica...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Iodine nutritional status in pregnant women is important for neuronal development of the fetus, and may vary depending on the geographic area. Thyroid function and urinary iodine excretion were therefore assessed in pregnant women from three different provinces of a large Spanish autonomous community. PATIENTS AND METHODS A descriptive study was conducted in the thre...

The PCR analysis was performed on DNA samples extracted from a total of 20 individuals using six oligonucleotides primers. The author accomplished clustering analyses to reveal the Euclidean genetic distances among four clam populations from Gochang, Seocheon, Taean and Anmyeon of the Korean peninsula. The oligonucleotides primer OPA-08 generated 5 unique loci to each population, approximately ...

In this paper, we present a novel full cube computation and representation approach, named MCG. A data cube can be defined as a lattice of cuboids. In our approach, each cuboid is seen as a set of sub-graphs. Redundant suffixed nodes in such sub-graphs are quite common, but their elimination is a hard problem as some previous cube approaches demonstrate. MCG approach computes a data cube in two...

BACKGROUND Propofol is used worldwide for its sedative effective; nonetheless, has the serious side effect of respiratory depression. An increased blood concentration of propofol is well known to be associated with increased respiratory depression. However, there are no studies of the effect site concentration inducing respiratory depression. The purpose of this study was to determine the effec...

Rett syndrome (RS) is a severe neurological disorder, predominant in females, with higher risk of sudden death (SD). So far for risk-assessment, heart rate variability (HRV), QT duration and its dispersion (QTd) were measured with ECG. However SD has occurred in RS also in absence of ECG abnormality. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of magnetocardiographic (MCG) mapping as an alternative to...

We described recently a modified charcoal-gelatin (MCG) assay for measuring progesterone receptor activity in low-protein cytosols. We showed that pre-mixing of gelatin with sample cytosols (final gelatin concentration 0.1%) and removal of unbound steroid by a 1% charcoal suspension with 0.1% gelatin but without dextran preserves the progesterone receptor activity in dilute cytosol. For estroge...

BACKGROUND Vasoconstriction, an inherent property of Hemoglobin Based Oxygen Carriers (HBOC) potentially due to nitric oxide (NO) scavenging, may increase cardiovascular complications in HBOC resuscitated trauma patients. The purpose of this study was to determine if co-administration of a weak NO donor, intravenous nitroglycerin (NTG), with HBOC-201 during resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock ...

BACKGROUND The value of magnetocardiography (MCG) for the detection of cardiac electrical disturbances associated with myocardial ischemia was studied. METHODS Sensitivity and predictivity of admission MCG for the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) were prospectively evaluated in 264 consecutive patients presenting with acute chest pain and without ST-segment elevation. MCG findings we...

10 P&T® • January 2011 • Vol. 36 No. 1 sponse. The patient was then taken to a nearby hospital for admission to a criticalcare unit. When the transport team arrived, one of the paramedics reviewed the patient’s IV infusions and, per protocol, independently calculated the rate of infusion for each. While reviewing the pump settings, the paramedic noticed that the dopamine dose had been programme...
