Resumo: Objetivo: Avaliar a Sensibilidade e Especificidade de parâmetros estruturais (topografia de disco óptico e análise da camada de fibras nervosas da retina) no diagnóstico do glaucoma. Métodos: Pacientes com glaucoma primário de ângulo aberto foram selecionados do ambulatório de glaucoma da Unicamp. Indivíduos normais foram recrutados junto a voluntários dentro da equipe médica, amigos e parentes dos pacientes. Os participantes, após aprovação do Comitê de Ética da instituição, foram submetidos a exame oftalmológico completo, campimetria computadorizada (Humphrey Full Threshold, programa 24-2), topografia de disco óptico com o TOPSS e análise da camada de fibras nervosas da retina por meio da polarimetria de varredura a laser (GDx, versão 1.0.12). Curvas ROC foram criadas para se estabelecer novos pontos de corte para cada parâmetro individual de ambos os instrumentos. Em seguida, a análise de regressão multivariada foi empregada com parâmetros da topografia de disco óptico e polarimetria de varredura a laser separados e em conjunto para obter uma melhor relação sensibilidade/especificidade (Se/Es) no diagnóstico do glaucoma. Resultados: Cento e doze indivíduos com glaucoma e 88 normais foram incluídos. Os parâmetros individuais da polarimetria de varredura a laser com melhor capacidade em diferenciar olhos normais de glaucomatosos foram: The Number (Se: 79,5%, Es: 81,8%, área abaixo da curva ROC - aROC: 0,870), Maximum Modulation (Se: 83,0%, Es: 76,1%, aROC: 0,842) e Ellipse Modulation (Se: 65,2%, Es: 88,6%, aROC: 0,831), enquanto Average Disc Diameter (Se: 64%, Sp: 89%, aROC: 0.824), Total Disc Area (Se: 85%, Sp: 66%, aROC: 0.802) e Cup Area (Se: 69%, Sp: 85%, aROC: 0.797) foram os melhores parâmetros individuais da topografia de disco óptico. Entretanto, a análise discriminante apresentou melhores resultados que os parâmetros individuais, tanto para a polarimetria de varredura a laser (Se: 87,5%, Es: 86,4%, aROC: 0,900), topografia de disco óptico (Se: 90%, Sp: 81%, aROC: 0,910), quanto para a combinação de parâmetros derivados de ambos os instrumentos (Se: 93%, Es: 91%, aROC: 0,970). Conclusão: Parâmetros estruturais, avaliados pela topografia de disco óptico e pela polarimetria de varredura a laser apresentam boa capacidade na diferenciação entre olhos normais e glaucomatosos. Entretanto, os melhores resultados são obtidos ao combiná-los em uma função linear discriminante com parâmetros derivados de ambos os instrumentos
Abstract: Purpose: To test the ability of structural parameters (as measured by the Scanning Laser Polarimetry and Confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy) to discriminate between normal and glaucomatous eyes. Methods: After approval of the Ethics Committee of the University of Campinas, primary open-angle glaucoma patients were selected from the glaucoma service. Normal individuals were recruited from volunteers among the medical staff, university members, family and friends of patients. All individuals underwent a thorough ophthalmic evaluation, a 24-2 full threshold Humphrey visual field, Scanning Laser Polarimetry with the GDx and Confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy with the TOPSS. Cut-off points were selected and ROC curves were created for each individual Confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy and Scanning Laser Polarimetry parameters. Finally, multivariate discriminant formulas were developed in order to achieve a better sensitivity (Se)/specificity (Sp) ratio for the diagnosis of glaucoma, initially separately for each device, and then combining parameters from Confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy and Scanning Laser Polarimetry. Results: One-hundred and twelve patients with primary open-angle glaucoma and 88 normal individuals were enrolled in the study. The best Scanning Laser Polarimetry parameters in differentiating normal individuals from glaucoma patients were: The Number (Se: 79,5%, Es: 81,8%, area under the ROC curve- aROC: 0,870), Maximum Modulation (Se: 83,0%, Es: 76,1%, aROC: 0,842) and Ellipse Modulation (Se: 65,2%, Es: 88,6%, aROC: 0,831), while the best Confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy individual parameters were: Average Disc Diameter (Se: 64%, Sp: 89%, aROC: 0,824), Total Disc Area (Se: 85%, Sp: 66%, aROC: 0,802) and Cup Area (Se: 69%, Sp: 85%, aROC: 0,797). However, the multivariate analysis resulted in better results for the Scanning Laser Polarimetry (Se: 87,5%, Es: 86,4%, aROC: 0,900), Confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy (Se: 90%, Sp: 81%, aROC: 0,910), and for the combination of parameters from both devices (Se: 93%, Es: 91%, aROC: 0,970). Conclusion: Structural parameters, as measured by the Confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy and Scanning Laser Polarimetry have good ability to differentiate normal individuals from glaucoma patients. However, better results are obtained combining parameters from both devices in a multivariate discriminant formula

Full textAngina pectoris is chest pain and myocardial ischemia due to Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) or Non-Coronary Artery Disease (non-CAD). Exercise stress test (EST) is the most common diagnostic procedure for angina pectoris. Non-CAD, low sensitivity for exercise electrocardiography (ex-ECG) and diffuse symptoms lower the diagnostic accuracy for females. This review’s aim was to study whether haemodynamic parameters and risk stratifications with Pre-test probability (PTP) or Duke Treadmill Score (DTS) improves the diagnostic accuracy of EST for females. Inclusion criterions were English peer reviewed, clinical studies with mentioned ethical approval or consent. Snowballing, PUBMED, MEDLINE and CINAHL were used. Articles that were included in the results, were reviewed once again, and compared to one another. Hemodynamic parameters, PTP and DTS increase the diagnostic accuracy of EST in women. This diagnostic accuracy depends on PTP method, risk group, ethnicity, and angina pectoris variant. Further research regarding ethnic specific PTP methods, mechanism behind the blood pressure reaction, DTS for diagnosis of non-CAD and methods for differentiation of subtypes of non-CAD, would be valuable. Without studies about the Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE), Diamond Forrester Score (DFS), and their impact on ex-ECG, the result of this review cannot be generalized to ex-ECG in Sweden.
Bai, Xueshi. "Laser-induced plasma as a function of the laser parameters and the ambient gas." Thesis, Lyon 1, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014LYO10333/document.
Full textLaser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has been invented for more than 50 years, which analyzes the spectrum of the laser-induced plasma to determine the elemental composition of the ablated sample. Recently, LIBS technique has been well developed and applied in different domains, for example oceanic exploration, pollution monitoring in the environment. LIBS uses the ablation plasma as a light source that contains the elemental composition information of the sample. However, the laser-induced plasma exhibits a transient behavior. Although time-resolved and gated detection can greatly improve the performance of the LIBS technique especially that of calibration-free LIBS (CF-LIBS) with a better determination of plasma temperature, the temporal evolution of the plasma is correlated to its morphology and its spatial inhomogeneity. The determination of the morphology as well as the internal structure of the plasma together with their evolution during plasma expansion into the ambient gas is therefore crucial for the optimization of the use of ablation plasma as a spectroscopic emission source. Evolutions of the morphology and the internal structure of the ablation plasma are considered as the consequence of its hydrodynamic expansion into the ambient gas. Following the thesis of Qianli Ma which has studied the effect of laser wavelength on the behavior of the plasma induced in an ambient gas of argon, the present thesis has used the same diagnostic techniques (time- and space-resolved emission spectroscopy and fast spectroscopic images) together with 1064 nm ns laser pulse ablation of a target of aluminum to investigate the effects of other parameters, such as the fluence and the duration of laser pulse, the effect of different ambient gases (argon and air), on the morphology and internal structure of the plasma. Furthermore, in order to understand the effects of these parameters on the properties of the plasma, the microscopic mechanisms during post ablation and the propagation of the plasma are also studied. While the plasma cools down in air, molecules are formed, AlO for instance. So the thesis also studied the condition for the formation of the molecules in the plasma. Beyond the practical interest of this study for LIBS, it provides also insights to the kinetics of the AlO molecule formation in laserinduced plasma

Full textDenna rapport beskriver ett examensarbete för högskoleingenjörsexamen i datorteknik vid Växjö universitet, utfört av Philip Albertson. Vid företaget BSR i Växjö pågår utvecklingen av en ny teknik benämnd Web Based Diagnostics. Målet med projektet är att göra fordonsdiagnostik tillgängligt för bilägare till ett bra pris. Systemet består av tre delar; en modul som sätts i bilen, en server som hanterar informationen och en klient för att kunden ska kunna nå informationen. Min del i detta projekt var att identifiera hur sökta parametrar nås på CAN-bussen i bilar från VAG (Volkswagen Auto Group) och Saab. Företagets representanter var nöjda med resultatet då det utgör en bra grund för vidareutvecklingen av den prototyp för modulen som utvecklats av EDAB (Elektronik Design AB) i Sundsvall.
This abstract describes the bachelor degree thesis in computer technology at Växjö University written by Philip Albertson during the spring term of 2007. At the company BSR in Växjö, Sweden there is a new project under development called WBD – Web based diagnostics. The aim of the project is to make car diagnostics available to ordinary people at a decent cost. The system consists of three parts; a module to plug in the car, a server to handle the information and a client to allow the customers to reach the information about their car. My part in this project was to specify how to reach certain parameters on the CAN-bus in cars from VAG (Volkswagen Auto Group) and Saab. The company was satisfied with the results since they provided a good basis to further develop the module prototype built by the company EDAB (Elektronik Design AB) in Sundsvall, Sweden.

Full textEsta tese pretende contribuir para o estudo e análise dos factores relacionados com as técnicas de aquisição de imagens radiológicas digitais, a qualidade diagnóstica e a gestão da dose de radiação em sistema de radiologia digital. A metodologia encontra-se organizada em duas componentes. A componente observacional, baseada num desenho do estudo de natureza retrospectiva e transversal. Os dados recolhidos a partir de sistemas CR e DR permitiram a avaliação dos parâmetros técnicos de exposição utilizados em radiologia digital, a avaliação da dose absorvida e o índice de exposição no detector. No contexto desta classificação metodológica (retrospectiva e transversal), também foi possível desenvolver estudos da qualidade diagnóstica em sistemas digitais: estudos de observadores a partir de imagens arquivadas no sistema PACS. A componente experimental da tese baseou-se na realização de experiências em fantomas para avaliar a relação entre dose e qualidade de imagem. As experiências efectuadas permitiram caracterizar as propriedades físicas dos sistemas de radiologia digital, através da manipulação das variáveis relacionadas com os parâmetros de exposição e a avaliação da influência destas na dose e na qualidade da imagem. Utilizando um fantoma contrastedetalhe, fantomas antropomórficos e um fantoma de osso animal, foi possível objectivar medidas de quantificação da qualidade diagnóstica e medidas de detectabilidade de objectos. Da investigação efectuada, foi possível salientar algumas conclusões. As medidas quantitativas referentes à performance dos detectores são a base do processo de optimização, permitindo a medição e a determinação dos parâmetros físicos dos sistemas de radiologia digital. Os parâmetros de exposição utilizados na prática clínica mostram que a prática não está em conformidade com o referencial Europeu. Verifica-se a necessidade de avaliar, melhorar e implementar um padrão de referência para o processo de optimização, através de novos referenciais de boa prática ajustados aos sistemas digitais. Os parâmetros de exposição influenciam a dose no paciente, mas a percepção da qualidade de imagem digital não parece afectada com a variação da exposição. Os estudos que se realizaram envolvendo tanto imagens de fantomas como imagens de pacientes mostram que a sobreexposição é um risco potencial em radiologia digital. A avaliação da qualidade diagnóstica das imagens mostrou que com a variação da exposição não se observou degradação substancial da qualidade das imagens quando a redução de dose é efectuada. Propõe-se o estudo e a implementação de novos níveis de referência de diagnóstico ajustados aos sistemas de radiologia digital. Como contributo da tese, é proposto um modelo (STDI) para a optimização de sistemas de radiologia digital.
In the present study an attempt has been made to contribute for the analysis of the factors related with the technical acquisition, the quality of the diagnostic image and dose management in digital detector systems for projection radiography. The thesis methodology is organized in two components. The observational component is based on a retrospective and transversal design. The data collected from CR and DR systems allowed the evaluation of exposure parameters from digital images, absorbed dose and exposure index to the detector. Under this classification (retrospective and transversal design) it was also possible to develop diagnostic quality evaluations from digital radiographic images: observer performance studies from digital images stored in the PACS. Under the experimental component of this thesis several experiments using phantoms were performed in order to evaluate the relation between dose and image quality. The experiments allowed the characterization of physical properties of digital image systems and manipulation of variables such as those related to exposure parameters and evaluation of its influence in dose and image quality. Using a contrast-detail phantom, anthropomorphic phantoms and an animal bone phantom it was possible to provide objective measures concerning the quantification of diagnostic quality and measures of object detectability. According to the research undertaken several conclusions could be highlighted. Quantitative measures of DR and CR detectors performance provide a basis for optimization, allowing to measure and determinate the physical properties of digital radiology image systems. Exposure parameters being used in digital radiography shows that current routine radiographic practice does not comply with European guidelines concerning exposure techniques. There is a need to evaluate, improve and establish a baseline reference aiming exposure optimization and provide new guidelines for current digital systems. Exposure parameters influence patient dose in digital radiology but image quality perception seems not to be affected with exposure variation. Studies performed both with phantoms and patients showed that overexposure is a potential risk when working with digital systems. Evaluation of diagnostic quality of digital images when a variation of exposure parameters is provided showed no substantial decrease in image quality when dose reduction is achieved. New dose reference levels should be studied and implemented according to the digital system characteristics and performance. A conceptual framework (STDI) is proposed as an attempt to provide a practical method to optimize digital radiology systems.
