Despite recent medical progress in supportive medical absent, DM present (n=318); (iii) RI present, DM absent (n=298); (iv) both RI and DM present (n=216) therapy, the frequency of hospital-acquired acute renal failure has increased in recent years from ~5% to [14]. The frequency of RCIN, defined as an increase of serum creatinine 0.5 mg/dl, was 8.5% for iohexol (I ) 6.4% [1,2]. Even more distr...

agent technology is an emerging and promising research area in software technology, which increasingly contributes to the development of value-added information systems for large healthcare organizations due to its capability to automatically modify themselves in response to changes in their operating environment. multi agent system (mas) approach is the construction of a complex system as a se...

Metrizamide is a water-soluble, nonionic radiocontrast medium that penetrates better into narrow subarachnoid spaces than do oily contrast media or gas. We performed metrizamide optic nerve thecography on five cats with iatrogenic orbital lesions. Optic thecograms successfully demonstrated displacement of the optic nerve, obstruction of the optic nerve sheath subarachnoid space, and extravasati...
