BACKGROUND/AIM 99mTc-ciprofloxacin is a radiopharmaceutical preparation sintetized to improve diagnostic accuracy of bacterial infections in human tissues. It is mostly applied in diagnosis of bone and joint infections. Many papers have confirmed its sensitivity to infection, but newer papers argued its specificity. The aim of this study was to compare the results of visual analysis of scintigr...

We evaluated the ability of Doppler echocardiography to assess left ventricular performance in six open-chest dogs studied under various conditions. Intravenous infusions of nitroglycerin were used to vary preload, atrial pacing was used to control heart rate, and changes in inotropic state were induced by two different doses of dobutamine (5 and 10 micrograms/kg/min iv) and by administration o...

in this article, the effectiveness of eight different technical indexes including simple moving average, weighted moving average, exponential moving average, relative strength, commodity channel, stochastic, money flow and demand are examined by comparison between indexes returns with buy and hold returns. the results shows the return of buy and hold strategy is more than technical indexes in t...

the word “arjulakum” in the 6th verse of sura al-ma’ida is recited in three different vowelized endings; marfu’, mansub, and majrur. the two later forms are more popular. given that the word “arjulakum’ in the majrur mode is coordinated to “ru’usikum” and in the mansub mode is coordinated to the position of “ru’usikum”, and the both possibilities would make the word “ru’usikum” object of the ve...

This paper studies a general notion of flatness in the enriched context: P-flatness where the parameter P stands for a class of presheaves. One obtains a completion of a category A by considering the category F latP(A) of P-flat presheaves over A. This completion is related to the free cocompletion under a class of colimits defined by Kelly. We define a notion of Q-accessible categories for a f...
