Blushing has been identified as an indicator of deception, shame, anxiety and embarrassment. Although normally associated with the skin coloration of the face, a blush response also affects skin surface temperature. In this paper, an approach to detect a blush response automatically is presented using the Argus P7225 thermal camera from e2v. The algorithm was tested on a sample population of 51...

Uterine visualization was found as a transient finding in the early phases of the biphasic and triphasic bone scans in 29 of 29 postmenarchial adolescent and young adult females studied regardless of phase of the menstrual cycle. This observation differs from reports of uterine uptake in Meckel's scanning where visualization occurred only in the menstrual or secretory phases of the cycle. None ...

A 59-year-old woman consulted for palpitations of one month’s evolution. The electrocardiogram documented frequent premature atrial beats, occurring shortly after episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Echocardiography performed to investigate these findings showed a left atrial mass, 50×35 mm in diameter, adhering to the interatrial septum. On the contrast myocardial perfusion study (Figu...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is typically occult at angiography and fails to enhance on MR images. After observing angiographic abnormalities characterized by arteriovenous shunting and pathologic parenchymal blush in patients with AIDS-related PML, often in the absence of contrast enhancement on MR images, we hypothesized that there might be distinct ...

tissue level myocardial perfusion is one of the most important prognostic factors after successful recanalisation of the occluded coronary artery in patients suffering acute st elevation myocardial infarction (stemi). the primary objective of the present study was to examine the relationship between videodensitometric myocardial perfusion parameters as assessed on coronary angiograms directly f...

OBJECTIVES We analyzed the safety and feasibility of myocardial echocardiography with intracoronary injection of contrast, its effect on left ventricular remodeling and systolic function, and its relationship with angiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the evaluation of post-infarction coronary microcirculation. PATIENTS AND METHOD Thirty patients with a first ST-elevation myoca...
