Introduction: Look-Locker inversion recovery produces images at multiple inversion times (TI) after a 180° inversion pulse (1). In non-cardiac and phantom experiments, the sequence timing can be carefully controlled. This allows the user to exactly specify both the TIs and the magnetization recovery time between inversions. In cardiac imaging, however, these timing variables are measured in uni...

INTRODUCTION Lamotrigine is licensed for treatment of epilepsy and prevention or at least delay of depressive episodes in bipolar disorder. The accepted therapeutic reference range (TRR) of lamotrigine for anticonvulsant treatment is 3 000-14 000 ng/ml. This TRR is often used for the therapy of bipolar disorders as well. This work presents serious doubts about this approach. METHODS KONBEST, ...

The role of aliphatic alcohols on the temperatures of the helix-coil (Trr) and of the melting transformation (Tr) for collagen in water solutions was investigated. Alcohols used were CH,OH, C2H50H, and C3H70H and the role of chloroethanol was also investigated. The results indicate that on increasing alcohol concentration both Tr and Trr are initially depressed (i.e. the random coil form is fav...

A ciprotloxacin resi stant mutant (Cf) of Rhizobium legulIlinossarulll bv phaseoli USDA 2695 which nodulates common bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L) was isolated after nitrous acid mutagenesis. Another m tant resistant to nalidi xic acid (NaIR) was isolated spontaneously. Both mutants showed thermotolerance as evident by their abi lity to grow at elevated (40°C) temperature, although the wi l...

Wide free spectral range (FSR) optical filters are very much essential for modern commercial Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing(DWDM) technique.Performance of a serially coupled integrated optic triple ring resonator (TRR) which can be used as optical filter has been investigated in this article. Delay line signal processing and Mason’s rule have been used to analyze the TRR architecture. F...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is characterized by a series of persistent respiratory symptoms that limit airflow, causing morbidity and even mortality. The intervention the Rehabilitation Nursing Specialist (RNS) important to promote actions which ensure functional empowerment in self-care, preventing complications. Objective: Identify indicators sensitive (RN) care health gains ...

Designing KBS for dynamic environments requires the consideration of temporal knowledge reasoning and representation (TRR) issues. Although humans present a natural ability to deal with knowledge about time and events, the codification and use of such knowledge in information systems still pose many problems. Hence, the development of applications strongly based on temporal reasoning remains an...

La enfermedad renal crónica se ha convertido en un problema de salud tanto a nivel nacional como mundial. tasa prevalencia el Ecuador para año 2022 es 1182,77 ppm e incidencia 169,55 ppm. El deterioro progresivo la función resulta uso terapia reemplazo (TTR) mientras espera por trasplante renal. En 95% estos pacientes no encuentran registrados lista trasplante. sobrevida los 5 años TRR 62%. est...

In this study we hypothesized that the lameness of early lactation dairy cows would have an impact on inline biomarkers, such as rumination time (RT), milk fat (%), protein fat/protein ratio (F/P), lactose (L, %), electrical conductivity all udder quarters, body weight (BW), temperature reticulorumen content (TRR), pH (pH), and walking activity (activity). All 30 lame (LCs) used in experiment h...

The use of lead bullets and shot at shooting ranges is under increasing scrutiny as a potentially significant source of Pb pollution. This study assessed Pb contamination in the soils of two shooting ranges (TRR and MPR) in Florida. Soil samples were collected from the two ranges and analyzed for total Pb to determine Pb contamination. Selected spent bullets and berm soil samples were mineralog...
