Patient education and guided self-management plans.
Asthma can be controlled effectively with the use of the appropriate drugs. By varying the level of treatment, the associated risks and unpleasantness of the disease can be minimized. In the majority of situations, the range of possible changes is reasonably straightforward and there is no reason why patients should not be trained to take these steps themselves. Self-management plans are an eff...
متن کاملextremal region detection guided by maxima of gradient magnitude
a problem of computer vision applications is to detect regions of interest under dif- ferent imaging conditions. the state-of-the-art maximally stable extremal regions (mser) detects affine covariant regions by applying all possible thresholds on the input image, and through three main steps including: 1) making a component tree of extremal regions’ evolution (enumeration), 2) obtaining region ...
Myocardial Viability Imaging
The concept of hibernating myocardium originated from observations in the 1970s that the myocardial dysfunction seen in patients with chronic coronary artery disease (CAD) was not always permanent (1). The fact that revascularization with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) could result in the recovery of contractile function in previously akinetic segments led to the development of numerous...
متن کاملimaging and imaging-guided interventions in the diagnosis and management of hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc)-review of evidence
the imaging of hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) is challenging and plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and staging of the disease. a variety of imaging modalities, such as ultrasound, computed tomography (ct), magnetic resonance imaging (mri) and nuclear medicine are currently used in evaluating patients with hcc. although the best option for the treatment of these cases is hepatic resection or...
متن کاملRevision parathyroidectomy guided by intraoperative radionuclide imaging.
BACKGROUND Technetium-99m sestamibi scintigraphy has become one of the most popular techniques for localization of the parathyroid gland after failure of primary neck exploration. OBJECTIVE To examine the efficacy of sestamibi with the hand-held gamma ray detecting probe for the identification of parathyroid adenomas during revision parathyroidectomy. METHODS We reviewed six cases of probe-...
