Objective- The aim of this study was to determine the normal ultrasonographic and morphologic appearance of mammary gland and teat in Caspian mares during lactation and dry period. Design- Experimental study. Animals- Seven mature Caspian mares Procedures- Using a 6.5-8.5 MHz linear transducer the ultrasonographic appearance of lactating and dry mammary glands was determined in 7 mature Casp...

the clinical and economic importance of heart failure is widely recognized.   the incidence of heart failure is on the increase, particularly with the aging of the population around the world.   it is time for a paradigm shift in heart failure management. alternative non-pharmacological strategies to remodel the failing ventricle will shape a major portion of heart failure therapy in the decade...

background & aim : although the literature provides evidence-based guidance for bathing infants, it is important to be aware of cultural differences what may arise when caring for infants with a diverse family background. the aim of this study was to examine the correlation between social support and state anxiety in mothers’ practices in newborn baby bathing. methods & materials : the descript...

The use of ultrasound in textile wet processing offers many potential advantages. Previous work has shown that the use of ultrasonics in dyeing provides the following benefits: (1) energy savings and reduced processing times, (2) environmental improvements, (3) process enhancement, and (4) lower overall processing costs. A fundamental understanding of the operative processes are needed so that ...

Most of the published studies concerning platelet aggregation were performed with chemical stimulation procedures, however, mechanical stimulation might be a better simulation of physiological activation of platelets. In order to evaluate the influence of ultrasound on platelet aggregation in vitro, we developed an ultrasound device in a standardized set-up, and we evaluated the influence of li...

An approach for simulating non-linear ultrasound imaging using Field II has been implemented using the operator splitting approach, where diffraction, attenuation, and non-linear propagation can be handled individually. The method uses the Earnshaw/Poisson solution to Burgers’ equation for the non-linear propagation. The speed of sound is calculated from the instantaneous pressure of the pulse ...
