We have developed a production system for 18F-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-glucose (18F-2FDG), which assures reliable production with easy handling and reduces radiation exposures to the operator. Chemical procedures in this system are the same as manual method developed in NIRS. This system has 2 operation modes; one is remote controlled manual operation mode and the other is microcomputer controlled au...

UNLABELLED A 10-year-old boy with polysplenia syndrome was diagnosed with complex congenital heart disease, including common atrium, bilateral superior vena cava, complete atrioventricular canal defect, severe pulmonary stenosis, interrupted inferior vena cava, and patent ductus arteriosus. Previously, he underwent a bilateral bidirectional Glenn shunt operation with ligation of the patent duct...

Proximity of the vagus nerve to  a patent  ductus  arteriosus (PDA) can cause traction  or  entrapment  of vagus nerve during surgical closure of the in rare occasions. This can lead to a life threatening postoperative bradycardia. Herein, we report a case of bradycardia caused by unexpected irritation of the vagal trunk by the end of operation. The patient was managed by re-opening the chest, ...

Massive MIMO is widely recognized as an essential technology for 5G. Together with newly allocated spectrum (bandwidth) and network densification (small cells), it is expected to play a key role in coping with the ongoing explosion in data-traffic demand and services. Compared to 4G MIMO technologies, massive MIMO can offer large gains in cell spectral efficiency, which, in combination with sma...

End-user focused end-to-end Service Delivery Platform offerings are key to achieving real market and revenue growth through effective partner and service lifecycle management. Rapid and efficient rollout, operation and retirement of services support true service innovation. Adopting the end-to-end approach will allow operators to service-enable their subscribers. Subscribers become empowered an...

Abstract- Communication has become inevitably part of our day to day activities, in academic, business, banking, and other sectors. It has therefore become so important to implement good and efficient communication system. A reference point according to this research is the wireless sensor networking (WSN) system, and most important thing in communication is to be free from interference, attenu...

Acquired Megacolon is a rare disease that usually presents in elderly people and there have been only few reported cases in literature. In this article we report a 24-year-old woman who had referred with chronic intermittent epigastric pain from 4-5 years ago and also chronic constipation and distension of upper abdominal part. Clinical examinations and imaging studies (chest x-ray, barium enem...

BACKGROUND: Narcotics and sedatives can reduce intraocular pressure. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of remifentanil plus ketamine on intraocular pressure and sedation quality in comparison with fentanyl plus ketamine during and after operation in patients undergoing phacoemulsification with topical anesthesia. METHODS: Forty four patients were randomized into two groups to rece...

We have studied the incidence of apnoea after induction of anaesthesia in patients allocated randomly to receive a standardized dose of either propofol or etomidate. We measured anxiety before operation with a standard questionnaire and end-tidal carbon dioxide concentration from a mask during breathing 35% oxygen, before induction of anaesthesia. Respiration was measured by pneumotachograph an...
