Background Self-gated free-breathing 3D cardiac cine MRI has been widely introduced, which provides similar image quality and functional measurements as breath-hold technique [1-3]. In self-gated free-breathing cardiac cine MRI, respiratory and cardiac motions are unpredictable during the acquisition especially in retrospective reconstruction. Therefore, nonuniform k-space distribution is a maj...

Seizure can result from increased voltage-gated persistent sodium current expression. Although many clinically-approved antiepileptic drugs target voltage-gated persistent sodium current, none exclusively repress this current without also adversely affecting the transient voltage-gated sodium current. Achieving a more selective block has significant potential for the treatment of epilepsy. Rece...

buthotus schach is one of the dangers scorpion in iran that belong to the buthidae family. toxins are existing in venom scorpion, modulate the ion channels by blocking or opening the pore of the channel or by altering the voltage gating and useful as pharmacological tools. in the present study, we investigated the effect of venom and its obtained fractions by gel filtrations on electrophysiolog...

it is of value to determine the amount of viable myocardial tissue in patients suffering from chronic coronary artery disease and ventricular dysfunction. having the capability of evaluating both myocardial perfusion and function, simultaneously, myocardial scanning by ecg-gated is an appropriate method for this purpose. the aim of this study was to compare the results of myocardial perfusion a...

PURPOSE To investigate the efficacy of a novel respiratory motion scheme, where only the center of k-space is gated using respiratory navigators, versus a fully respiratory-gated acquisition for three-dimensional flow imaging. METHODS Three-dimensional flow images were acquired axially using a gradient echo sequence in a volume, covering the ascending and descending aorta, and the pulmonary a...

BACKGROUND To overcome flow and electrocardiogram-trigger artifacts in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), we have implemented a cardiac and respiratory self-gated cine ultra-short echo time (UTE) sequence. We have assessed its performance in healthy mice by comparing the results with those obtained with a self-gated cine fast low angle shot (FLASH) sequence and with echocardiography. ME...

The relationship between crime and the built environment has been extensively investigated in field of urban design planning. Gated housing area refers to a physical personal with limited access is governed by special rules, restricting or controlling outside homeowner (via electronic devices safety workers). Therefore, gated communities are assumed be safer than non-gated relation occurrence r...

This paper describes an automated layout design technique for the gated-clock design. Two issues must be considered for gated-clock circuits to work correctly. One is to minimize the skew for gated-clock nets. The other is to keep timing constraints for enable-logic parts. We propose the layout design technique to taking these things into consideration. We developed GatedClock Tree Synthesizer ...

An induced subgraph H of a graph G is gated if for every vertex x outside H there exists a vertex x ′ inside H such that each vertex y of H is connected with x by a shortest path passing through x . The gated amalgam of graphs G1 and G2 is obtained from G1 and G2 by identifying their isomorphic gated subgraphs H1 and H2. Two theorems on Hosoya polynomials of gated amalgams are provided. As thei...
