diastolic phase of cardiac function is associated with lower arterial flow and hence higher concentration of intra arterially injected drug is achieved at the site of injection. it is herein postulated that drugs show higher efficacy when injected during the diastolic phase of cardiac function. it is also postulated that this benefit cannot be achieved when the drug is injected with higher rate...

conclusions the obtained results revealed that there has been a high rate of genetic diversity in bioluminescent strains isolated from gulf of izmir and v. lentus and v. crassostreae strains could be also bioluminescent for the first report. at the same time, pfge analysis of bioluminescent bacteria including four different genera and ten different species were shown for the first time by this ...

introduction: basal cell carcinoma (bcc) is the most common cutaneous malignancy. proffered treatment for these lesions is surgery. based on patient’s age, drug allergies, and place of lesions, surgery may not be the best option, and alternative treatments should be considered. pulsed dye laser (pdl) may be a good alternative therapy. the aim of the present study was to determine the effectiven...

fe49co33ni18 nanowire arrays (175 nm in diameter and lengths ranging from 5 to 32μm) were fabricated into nanopores of hard-anodized aluminum oxide templates using pulsed ac electrodeposition technique. hysteresis loop measurements indicated that increasing the length decreases coercivity and squareness values (from 274 oe and 0.58 to200 oe and 0.105, respectively), indicating the increase in m...

Pulsed laser strategies (i.e. pulsed ablation and fragmentation in liquid) have been reviewed with a focus on the synthesis processing of amorphous metal nanoparticles. The possible formation criteria mechanism discussed.

Pulsed eddy current inspection techniques were derived from the conventional eddy current testing technology, based on the fundamental principle of an eddy current coil, but using periodic ultrasound pulses. The authors first introduce the principle of pulsed eddy current inspection and some experimental measurement results using pulsed eddy current equipment. This technology can be applied to ...

OBJECTIVES We aimed to prospectively evaluate the response and safety of pulsed and continuous radiofrequecy lesioning of the dorsal root ganglion/segmental nerves in patients with chronic lumbosacral radicular pain. METHODS Seventy-six patients with chronic lumbosacral radicular pain refractory to conventional therapy met the inclusion criteria and were randomly assigned to one of 2 types of...

This study compared the efficacy of continuous or pulsed-water medication with enrofloxacin, danofloxacin, and sarafloxacin in eight groups of 90 chicks each by using an infectious bronchitis virus-Escherichia coli model of colisepticemia. The model produced lesions of typical those occurring in birds with severe colisepticemia; for the infected, nonmedicated birds the mortality was 43.5% and t...
