The EBT-XD model of Gafchromic™ films has a broader optimal dynamic dose range, up to 40 Gy, compared with its predecessor models. This characteristic made suitable for high-dose applications, such as stereotactic body radiotherapy and radiosurgery, well ultra-high rate FLASH radiotherapy. purpose the current study was characterize dependence film response on linear energy transfer (LET) therap...

• Drinking cold water evokes decreases in spirometric indices of lung function We studied if this may be explained by changes exhaled-breath temperature (EBT), flow dynamics, and spirometer measurement EBT falls significantly below baseline following cold-water ingestion The decrease was calculated to influence pneumotachograph measurements < 1% Accordingly, decreased likely has a physiological...

In this work poly eriochrome black T (EBT) was electrochemically synthesized on the glassy carbon electrode as electrode modifier. On the modified electrode, voltammetric behavior of isoniazid (INH) was investigated. The poly (EBT)-modified glassy carbon electrode has excellent electrocatalytic ability for the electrooxidation of isoniazid. This fact was appeared as a reduced overpotential of I...

The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE), as well as a number of federal agencies and medical societies, recognizes obesity as a disease requiring primary therapy. In 2011, the ASGE and the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) jointly published a white paper with the intent of providing a pathway for bringing endoscopic bariatric therapy (EBT) to clinic...

PURPOSE Small organ subvolume irradiated by a high-dose has been emphasized to be associated with late complication after radiotherapy. Here, we demonstrate a potential use of surface-based, non-rigid registration to investigate how high-dose volume topographically correlates with the location of late radiation morbidity in a case of tracheobronchial radiation stenosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS A...

The Electron Beam CT (EBT) Coronary Calcium Score (CCS) is an independent predictor of coronary events and adds incremental information to standard risk factors. How to use this information was uncertain. To assist our referring physicians in utilizing this test, a web based calculator was created that combines the Framingham score risk with the EBT CCS risk to obtain a new risk for cardiac eve...

OBJECTIVE Statins reduce cardiovascular risk and slow progression of coronary artery calcium (CAC). We investigated whether CAC progression and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) reduction have a complementary prognostic impact. METHODS AND RESULTS We measured the change in CAC in 495 asymptomatic subjects submitted to sequential electron-beam tomography (EBT) scanning. Statins were started after ...

The assessment of coronary artery calcium (CAC) by electron beam tomography (EBT) or multidetector spiral computed tomography (CT) and the evaluation of myocardial perfusion and function by use of myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) (MPS) are both valuable in the noninvasive assessment of patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). CAC provides uni...

Lymphoplasmacytic lymphomas are rare and may present with uncommon and devastating symptoms. We report a case of a 43-year-old male who presented with bleeding gums and sudden onset of bilateral blindness but was not on anticoagulants and had no family history of bleeding disorder. He had bilateral hyperpigmented infraorbital skin lesions, visual acuities (VA) of hand motion in both eyes (blind...
