Abstract:

The ability to measure and quantify myocardial motion and deformation provides a useful tool to assist in the diagnosis, prognosis and management of heart disease. Myocardial motion can be measured by means of several different types of data acquisition. The earliest myocardial motion tracking technique was invasive, based on implanting radiopaque markers into the myocardium around the left ventricle, and recording the marker positions during the cardiac cycle by biplane cineradiography. Until recently, this was the only method with high enough spatial resolution of three-dimensional (3D) myoc

Abstract:

Recent guidelines for the management of stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial revascularisation emphasise the importance of the presence of ischaemia for guiding revascularisation. Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) perfusion imaging and fractional flow reserve (FFR) are two methods of physiological ischaemia assessment, one invasive and the other non-invasive. In order that the results are interpreted accurately, it is important to be aware of the limitations and advantages of each technique. These techniques measure different parameters so it is not uncommon that the two t

Abstract:

Silvergran, Abies alba, är en ursprungligen odlad art som har fått snabb spridning i södra och mellersta Sverige de senaste 100 åren. Risk finns att denna art är invasiv och kan påverka vår inhemska flora och fauna negativt. I ett lövskogsområde norr om Uppsala finns en ungefär 70 år gammal plantering av silvergran som är nära 1200 kvadratmeter stor. I området kring planteringen har ett stort antal plantor av silvergran etablerat sig och syftet med denna studie är att kartlägga spridningen av arten i området. Studien kan bidra till att skapa ett generellt spridningsmönster för silvergran i lik

Invasive and non-invasive methods of BTI monitoring and wearout preemption have been proposed. We propose a novel, simple to use, test structure for NBTI /PBTI monitoring. The proposed structure has an AC and a DC stress mode. Although during stress mode, both PMOS and NMOS devices are stressed, the proposed structure isolates the PBTI and NBTI degradation during test mode. A methodology of converting any data-path into ring oscillator (DPRO) is also presented. To avoid the performance overhead of attaching monitoring circuitry to functional block, a non-invasive scheme for BTI monitoring is p

Abstract:

Invasive species, including Lespedeza cuneata (Dum. Cours.) G. Don, threaten the success of grassland restoration through their ability to alter species composition following invasion. Combining the filter framework model of community assembly with the passenger-driver model of non-native species behavior can clarify the broader impacts of invasive species in the communities they invade. Testing this combined theory by exploring the mechanisms by which an invasive functions (above- and belowground) and the response of native plants from different functional groups to these mechanisms can revea

With rising temperatures, distribution shifts in many of fish species have been observed. Additionally, changing thermal conditions are facilitating the colonisation of invasive species.

Abstract:

Measurement of blood pressure is a critical tool in the monitoring of patients undergoing general anaesthesia and has become standard practice within medical fields. Adequate vital organ perfusion is reported to be achieved if a central mean arterial pressure (MAP) is greater than 60mmHg. In clinical practice, peripheral arterial blood pressure (ABP) is used as an estimate of central ABP. Measurement of peripheral ABP can be performed either invasively or non-invasively. While invasive blood pressure measurements (IBP) are considered to be more accurate than non-invasive blood pressure (NI

Abstract:

Reproductive studies in invasive plants are necessary for an understanding of their potential to establish and spread in foreign environments. Elaeagnus umbellata Thunb. (autumn olive) is an invasive woody shrub that flowers early in the spring and is often noted for its abundant fruit set. This study examined the reproductive biology of E. umbellata in Illinois, where it is highly invasive. Hand-pollination experiments were performed to determine the breeding system of E. umbellata, and floral visitors were collected to determine its pollinators. Experiments showed that E. umbellata is a pred

Introduzione Lo scopo dello studio è valutare l’accuratezza diagnostica delle metodiche strumentali non invasive, in particolare dermoscopia, tomografia a coerenza ottica (OCT ) e microscopia confocale (RCM), nelle patologie degli annessi cutanei, confrontate con le metodiche invasive (biopsia ed exeresi chirurgica). Materiali e metodi È stato effettuato uno studio prospettico osservazionale in pazienti afferenti all’ambulatorio di Malattie degli Annessi Cutanei, dell’U.O. di Dermatologia dell’Azienda Ospedaliero - Universitaria di Bologna IRCCS Policlinico di Sant’Orsola, Dipartimento di M

Abstract:

Les infections fongiques invasives, sont des infections sévères grevées d’une lourde mortalité. Elles sont actuellement un problème majeur de santé publique et leur incidence augmente. Les candidémies représentent la quatrième cause d’infection hématogène nosocomiale aux Etats-Unis, les cryptococcoses sont responsables de 600 000 décès chaque année en Afrique et l’aspergillose invasive infecte 10% des patients transplantés de cellules souches. La mortalité de ces infections reste élevée avec des taux de mortalité de 50, 15 et 40% respectivement. L’augmentation de leur incidence est due à l’acc
