Lesion regeneration in the branching coral Acropora palmata:effects of colonization, colony size, lesion size, and lesion shape

Lesion size inaccuracies in digital mammography.

OBJECTIVE We show with both a clinical case and measurements using the American College of Radiology mammography phantom that some digital mammography acquisition and image display combinations lead to both marked over- and underestimation of lesion sizes on geometrically magnified images. CONCLUSION The results of this study indicate that the accuracy of lesion size measurements in all magni...

Do vivarium conditions influence atherosclerotic lesion size?

Factors that affect radiofrequency heat lesion size.

OBJECTIVE This study aims to compare radiofrequency (RF) heat lesion size across electrodes and generator settings available for interventional pain management. METHODS Monopolar lesions are generated ex vivo in animal tissue using sharp cannulae with tip diameters 23, 22, 20, 18, 16 gauge; tip lengths 5, 6, 10, 15 mm; set temperatures 60, 70, 80, 90°C; set times 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 5, 10 minutes. ...

Serum Malondialdehyde levels and lesion size in acute stroke

This study endeavours to evaluate the measurement of lipid peroxidation in patient with cerebral thrombosis and haemorrhage and also to correlate its level with the lesion size in these patients. Seventy five subjects were included in the study comprising 25 each of cerebral thrombosis and haemorrhage while 25 comparable subjects scored as control. Serum malondialdehyde (SMDA) as a measure of l...

Effects of Laser Physical Parameters on Lesion Size in Retinal Photocoagulation Surgery: Clinical OCT and Experimental Study

Introduction: The aim of the present study was to determine burn intensity in retinal laser photocoagulation based on laser parameters; wavelength, power, beam size and pulse duration, using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), fundus camera, physical eye model and computer simulation in a clinical study.Materials and Methods: Participants were 10 adult patients between 50-80 years with prolifer...
