METHODS Reinjection-g-SPECT, MIBI-g-SPECT, and three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (3DMRI) were conducted in 20 patients with coronary artery disease. Regional wall motion (RWM) and wall thickening (RWT) were analyzed using semiquantitative visual scoring by each g-SPECT and 3DMRI. The left ventricular end-systolic and end-diastolic volumes (EDV, ESV) and LVEF estimated by reinjectiona...

Bence Jones protein injected into rabbits was excreted rapidly into the urine. The excreted protein retained the physicochemical and immunochemical properties of the injected Bence Jones protein. In spite of the rapid excretion, a significant portion of the injected Bence Jones protein was found to be metabolized. After reinjection of radioactive Bence Jones protein into the donor patient, only...

Based on the analysis of geothermal research and utilization, this paper lists the most main challenges of geothermal exploration and exploitation at present in Beijing which is including the lack of regional reconnaissance, the undeveloped of prospecting techniques, the shortened of service life in those geothermal fields which are exploited unreasonably, the unsystematic of dynamic monitoring...

The Static Synchronous Compensator (StatCom) is one of the most useful FACTS devices, since it can synthesize the reactive power from small storing elements. When it is operated within the linear region, it is seen by the system as a synchronous voltage source. By regulation of the Statcom‟s output voltage magnitude, the reactive power Exchange between the device and the transmission system may...

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) and IVTA plus macular laser grid photocoagulation therapy in diffuse diabetic macular edema (DME). MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixteen patients affected by diffuse DME were retrospectively evaulated. Patients were divided into two groups: control group (IVTA injection) and laser group (IVTA plus grid laser). Main outcom...

One-dimensional maps showing chaotic intermittency with discontinuous reinjection probability density functions are studied. For these maps, the mechanism possesses two different processes. The M function methodology is applied to analyze complete and determine function. In M(x) continuous non-differentiable. Theoretical equations found for Finally, theoretical results compared numerical data f...

PURPOSE To report the efficacy and safety of combined intravitreal dexamethasone implant and micropulse laser for anti-VEGF resistant diabetic macular edema. PATIENTS AND METHODS Prospective, non-controlled study that was conducted for twenty eyes with center-involved diabetic macular edema not responding to anti-VEGF therapy. Ozurdex intravitreal implant was injected to all eyes with subsequ...

BACKGROUND Chronic abdominal pain (CAP) is a serious medical condition which needs to be approached with great attention. Chronic abdominal pain may be caused by entrapment of cutaneous branches of intercostal nerves (ACNES). OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is the surgery for abdominal wall pain which caused by cutaneous nerve entrapment in children during last 5 years. MATERIALS AND METHO...
