ODUCTION ar sensors with dual-polarization capability etter understanding and characterization of hazards. Advanced knowledge-based hazard algorithms would require better knowledge of ttering characteristics of hydrometeors such as , hailstones, and snowflakes. Especially, characteristics becomes important for utilize phase-array dual-polarization radar Traditionally, theoretical approaches [1]...

The purpose of this communication is to review briefly the agents available at the present time for use in thrombolytic therapy and to indicate why we believe that at the present time streptokinase is the only suitable agent for extended clinical trial. An account will then be given of the use of streptokinase administered by local perfusion in the treatment of peripheral arterial occlusion and...

Thrombolytic therapy is a practical, effective approach to the management of acute myocardial infarction that is widely used in Europe today. Early European trials demonstrated a clear reduction in mortality in patients who received thrombolytic therapy compared with those given conventional treatment. The findings of experimental studies suggest that early reperfusion of the infarct-related ar...

BACKGROUND Intravenous thrombolysis is an approved treatment method for patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and is recommended by multiple guidelines. However, it seems that it is less frequently used in the developing countries compared to the developed countries. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to estimate the percentage of patients with AIS, eligible for intravenous thrombol...

Objective: The purpose of the current study was to investigate the in vivo (analgesic, antidiarrheal, neurological, and cytotoxic) and in vitro (antioxidant, antimicrobial, thrombolytic and anthelmintic) activity of different fractions of methanolic extract of Momordica charantia. Materials and Methods: The antioxidant property ...

We describe a method for generating sentences from “keywords” or “headwords”. This method consists of two main parts, candidate-text construction and evaluation. The construction part generates text sentences in the form of dependency trees by using complementary information to replace information that is missing because of a “knowledge gap” and other missing function words to generate natural ...

Time-dependent thrombolytic resistance is a critical problem in thrombolytic therapy for acute myocardial infarction. Platelets have been regarded as the main source of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) found in occlusive plateletrich clots. However, endothelial cells are also known to influence the fibrinolytic capacity of blood vessels, but their ability to actively mediate time-depen...

Thrombolytic therapy is not recommended for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in patients under the age of 18 and published experience is limited. In this case report, we describe two children treated with systemic thrombolytic therapy. One child received additional mechanical revascularization and achieved a good clinical outcome. The differences in the fibrinolytic system and the different etiology...

A patient's refusal to receive blood products can pose both clinical and ethical challenges to the surgeon. In this report, we review the case of a Jehovah's Witness presenting with critical lower limb ischemia and severe anemia for whom the decision of whether to perform thrombolytic therapy was complicated by his refusal to accept blood products. The case demonstrates that thrombolytic therap...
