Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. BACKGROUND Myocardial work (MW) estimation by pressure-strain loops (PSL) allows a non-invasive evaluation myocardial performance, as recently demonstrated in adult patients. Aim this study is to provide the reference values for global index (MWI), constructive (MCW), wasted (MWW), and efficiency (MWE) group healthy children. METH...

Microwave irradiation (MWI) in the synthesis of materials has been an actively developing branch science for last three decades. Structures based on calcium phosphates (CaP) are one most well-known and widely used synthetic biomaterials orthopedics dentistry. The main topic this review is use MWI formation phosphate phases their complexes with biopolymers (chitosan, alginate, silk fibroin). phy...

The paper entitled “Against Many-Worlds Interpretations” by A. Kent, which has recently been submitted to the e-Print archive (gr-qc/9703089) contained some misconceptions. The claims on Everett’s many-worlds interpretation are quoted and answered. 03.65.Bz Typeset using REVTEX 1 A. Kent has submitted the paper [1] entitled “Against Many-Worlds Interpretations”, in which we can see frequently (...

The prevalence of goitre in areas with mildly excessive iodine in drinking-water is still under debate. The aim of the present study was to explore the prevalence of goitre and its epidemiological characteristics in these areas using WHO criteria. To this end, three towns with a median water iodine (MWI) of 150-300 μg/l were selected randomly in Hengshui City of Hebei Province of China, and one...

Microwave imaging is a promising alternative to conventional mammography methods. At microwave frequencies, normal and malignant tissues show high contrasts in their electrical properties. Microwave Imaging (MWI) systems can be used to construct three-dimensional profiles of the electrical properties of the body part that is being examined. MWI systems illuminate the body part with electromagne...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) could associate with malignant ventricular arrhythmias. annular disjunction (MAD), which leads to excessive mobility, mechanical stretch, and myocardial damage, has been studied as a putative mechanism for an arrhythmic substrate. However, it is unclear whether that the only sufficient risk...

The evaluation of the microwave imaging (MWI) prototype and algorithms on experimental bone phantoms is a precursor step before clinical testing for measuring in vivo dielectric properties human bones. To this end, paper presents tomographic image reconstruction normal diseased calcaneus using ...

Objective: An aluminium faceted chamber designed for 3D microwave imaging (MWI) of the breast has been integrated into an electromagnet in order to carry out signal acquisition experiments inverse scattering-based ferromagnetic resonance (FRI) system, or magnetic contrast-enhanced MWI system. Methods: For this proof concept, equipped with four wire monopole antennas, and low-contrast oil-based ...
