objective(s):   recently, applications of mno2 nanoparticles and microparticles in industry, pharmacology, and medicine have considerably expanded. mn distribution and clearance from brain and spinal cord tissue compared with muscle tissue of rats after single subcutaneous injection of nanoparticles and microparticle of mno2. pain sensory threshold of rat was evaluated as neurologic consequence...

UNLABELLED A renal expert system (RENEX) has been developed to assist physicians detect renal obstruction in patients undergoing pre- and postfurosemide 99mTc-mercaptoacetyltriglycine (99mTc-MAG3) scans. RENEX uses quantitative parameters extracted from the dynamic renal scan data and heuristic rules in the form of a knowledge base (KB) obtained from expert interpreters to conclude whether a ki...

arginine vasopressin as a supplementary vasopressor in septic shock restores vascular tone and mean arterial pressure, meanwhile decreases dose and exposure time to catecholamines. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of vasopressin on lactate and lactate clearance as markers of tissue perfusion during septic shock. in this prospective, randomized, controlled trial, 30 patient...

Keywords: false-positive result; [131I ]MIBG scan; renal neuroblastomas, and has had only limited success in other tumour types [1,2]. In our patient, the topo-artery stenosis graphic appearance of the MIBG accumulation corresponded exactly to the entire left kidney, as defined by diffuse homogeneously decreased MAG3 perfusion and uptake. Horne et al. supposed this accumulation to Renal history...
