The latest international video coding standard, H.266/Versatile Video Coding (VVC), supports high-definition videos, with resolutions from 4 K to 8 or even larger. It offers a higher compression ratio than its predecessor, H.265/High Efficiency (HEVC). In addition the quadtree partition structure of H.265/HEVC, nested multi-type tree (MTT) H.266/VVC provides more diverse splits through binary a...

PURPOSE This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the accuracy of dead-space fraction derived from the ventilator volumetric capnography (volumetric CO₂) or a prediction equation to predict the survival of mechanically ventilated patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). METHODS Consecutive VD/VT measurements were obtained based upon a prediction equation validated...

BACKGROUND Impaired vasodilator myocardial blood flow response has been observed in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP). However, the mechanisms responsible for this blunted response are not clear. In the present study, we investigated whether the blunted vasodilator flow response is related to indices of left ventricular performance in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. METHODS AND R...

OBJECTIVES To characterize via NMR spectroscopy the full spectrum of metabolic changes in umbilical vein blood plasma of newborns diagnosed with different clinical forms of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). METHODS 23 early IUGR cases and matched 23 adequate-for-gestational-age (AGA) controls and 56 late IUGR cases with 56 matched AGAs were included in this study. Early IUGR was defined...

there is no randomized study carried out in order to compare their pharmacokinetic parameters although midazolam, as a sedative, has been widely administered via continuous infusion as well as intermittent bolus doses in mechanically ventilated critically ill patients. we prospectively investigated the effect of these two principal methods on pharmacokinetic parameters in 23 of mentioned patien...

Lung volumes in irreversible diffuse obstructive pulmonary syndromes (DOPS(I)) have been studied by using an analog of the lung that simulates an 18-breath nitrogen washout. The functional residual capacity (FRC), the dead space volume (Vd), the distribution of ventilation, as well as the pattern of lung emptying have been measured in normal subjects and those with obstructive syndromes. The Vd...

BACKGROUND There is growing interest in using diet counselling in the management of patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Among new emerging diets, vegetarian diets (VD) seem to be experiencing an important popularity, partly because of their alleged health benefits. A recent study performed among a rural Indian population showed that predominant VD could be associated with IBS. OBJEC...

Background Considering the increasing prevalence of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) as an autoimmune disease in recent years and the positive effects of vitamin D (VD) on this disease, especially the preventive effect of VD on progressive reduction of pancreatic β-cells, we aimed to investigate the effect of VD on pancreatic β-cell function in T1DM patients. Materials and Methods From Sep 2016 ...
