development of an eco-friendly, low cost and high energy density limnpo4 cathode material has attracted much attention due to its high operating voltage vs. li falling within the electrochemical stability window of conventional electrolyte solutions and offers more safety features due to the presence of a strong p-o covalent bond.synthesis of battery materials integrates the battery technology ...

conclusion ct scan is highly accurate in differentiating malignant pleural mesothelioma and metastatic pleural diseases. pleural thickening and thickening of interlobar fissure lead us to the diagnosis of mpm and massive free pleural effusion is more commonly seen in metastatic pleural malignancy. background malignant pleural mesothelioma (mpm) is a rare malignant neoplasm of the pleura that ty...

background: in radiation therapy, water is the phantom material of choice, both for reference and for relative dosimetry measurements. solid phantoms, however, are more useful for routine measurements because they tend to be more robust and easier to set up than water phantoms. materials and methods: fluka input data cards have been arranged in sequential order. a simple cylindrical geometry wi...

mediastinal teratomas are usually asymptomatic tumors, located most commonly in the anterior mediastinum. very rarely, such tumors may rupture into the tracheobronchial tree, lung, pleura or pericardium. computed tomography (ct) is helpful in the diagnosis and differentiation of ruptured and unruptured tumors. we report a case of ruptured anterior mediastinal teratoma in a 20-year-old female pr...

conclusions both eps and er residents either missed or falsely called a significant number of pathologies in their interpretations. the interpretations of eps and er residents were more sensitive and more specific, respectively. these findings revealed the need for increased training time in head ct reading for residents and the necessity of attending continuing medical education workshops for ...

background: chest x-ray has an important role in the diagnosis of tuberculosis (tb). the aim of this study was to determine the radiological changes in patients with smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis.methods: in this study, 325 patients with smear positive pulmonary tb was enrolled. the affected lobe or lobes of the left or right lung were recorded. the types of involvement were categorized...

introduction: motion artifacts are a common problem in pediatric radiographic studies and are a common indication for pediatric procedural sedation. this study aimed to compare the combination of oral midazolam and ketamine (omk) with oral midazolam alone (om) as procedural sedatives among children undergoing computed tomography (ct) imaging. methods: the study population was comprised of six-m...

background: gonad shielding has been recommended during pelvic x-rays since the 1950s. the popular method of gonad shielding is placement a lead shield in the midline of the pelvis. the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and utility of gonad shielding in pediatrics undergoing pelvic x-rays.materials and methodsfollowing study approval, we retrospectively retrieved data from the di...
