3D-CT von Frakturen: Vergleich von Volumen- und Oberflächen-Rekonstruktionen
1998
Purpose The comparison of volume rendering (VR) and surface rendering (SSD) for demonstrating fractures from spiral-CT data. Materials and methods Standardized VR and SSD projections were produced from 50 spiral CT scans of 50 consecutive patients with fractures. Appropriate multiplanar reformattings (MPR) were used as the standard. Results SSD provided sufficient information in 31/50 cases. Results of VR were not significantly different (33/50). VR was superior in demonstrating 6/7 craniofacial fractures and 3/3 calcaneal fractures. SSD was superior for visualizing 2/3 shoulder fractures and 2/2 elbow fractures. Conclusion VR is a flexible technique for the depiction of fractures and the a…
Hipertensión endocraneal asociada a la sedación con sevoflurano mediante el dispositivo AnaConDa®en un paciente con traumatismo craneoencefálico seve…
2013
Sedation in neurocritical patients remains a challenge as there is no drug that meets all the requirements. Since the appearance of the AnaConDa® device, and according to the latest recommendations, sevoflurane has become an alternative for patients with brain injury. The use of AnaConDa® produces an increase in the anatomical dead space that leads to a decrease in alveolar ventilation. If the decrease in the alveolar ventilation is not offset by an increase in minute volume, there will be an increase in PaCO2. We report the case of a patient with severe traumatic brain injury who suffered an increase in intracranial pressure as a result of increased PaCO2 after starting sedation with the A…
Three-dimensional ultrasonography in prenatal diagnosis
1995
Within the past five years, 3D ultrasonography has developed to the degree that it offers both the patient and the examiner an entirely new visual experience in prenatal diagnosis. With the system described here (Kretz-technik, Austria), any desired plane can be displayed within the stored volume, and within seconds a high-quality 3D surface or transparent image can be calculated and displayed on the ultrasound monitor without need for an external workstation. All of this can be performed routinely in the clinical setting. Since 1989 we have routinely examined a total of 458 fetuses (242 normal and 216 with anomalies) between 16 and 38 weeks of gestation, supplementing our conventional 2D u…
A PROGRAM FOR THE AUTOMATIC COMPUTING OF SOLAR GAIN OF A PARALLELEPIPED VOLUME CONSIDERING THE SHADOWS CAST ON IT BY ANY SYSTEM OF SURROUNDING PARALL…
1985
A program is given, that computes solar gain on a parallelepiped volume taking in to consideration the shadows cast by any system of surrounding parallelepiped. It contains an algorithm for the quick discarding of non shadowing volumes, for the construction of the union polygon, without repetition of overlapping shadows, and for the intersection polygon of formerly found union polygon with the shadowed faces.
Modular Breath Analyzer (MBA): Introduction of a Breath Analyzer Platform Based on an Innovative and Unique, Modular eNose Concept for Breath Diagnos…
2021
Exhaled breath analysis for early disease detection may provide a convenient method for painless and non-invasive diagnosis. In this work, a novel, compact and easy-to-use breath analyzer platform with a modular sensing chamber and direct breath sampling unit is presented. The developed analyzer system comprises a compact, low volume, temperature-controlled sensing chamber in three modules that can host any type of resistive gas sensor arrays. Furthermore, in this study three modular breath analyzers are explicitly tested for reproducibility in a real-life breath analysis experiment with several calibration transfer (CT) techniques using transfer samples from the experiment. The experiment …
Badanie metodą inwersyjnej chromatografii gazowej wpływu wielkości podstawnika na właściwości inkluzyjne kaliksarenów
2009
Badano wpływ wielkości alifatycznego podstawnika na zdolności inkluzyjne kaliksarenów {kaliks[4]arenu(K4), p-izopropylokaliks[4]arenu (IPK4) i p-tert-butylokaliks[4]arenu (TBK4)}. Oceny wpływu dokonywano za pomocą metody QSRR przy użyciu inwersyjnej chromatografii gazowej. W charakterze solutów użyto szeregu alifatycznych alkoholi, homologów benzenu i homologów pirydyny. Na podstawie indeksów retencji Kovatsa i wykresów zależności właściwej objętości retencji od temperatury wrzenia [Vg=f(Tw)] stwierdzono, że tylko podstawione kaliksareny wykazują właściwości inkluzyjne w stosunku do niższych alkoholi.
Influence of M23C6 carbides on the heterogeneous strain development in annealed 420 stainless steel
2020
Understanding the local strain enhancement and lattice distortion resulting from different microstructure features in metal alloys is crucial in many engineering processes. The development of heterogeneous strain not only plays an important role in the work hardening of the material but also in other processes such as recrystallization and damage inheritance and fracture. Isolating the contribution of precipitates to the development of heterogeneous strain can be challenging due to the presence of grain boundaries or other microstructure features that might cause ambiguous interpretation. In this work a statistical analysis of local strains measured by electron back scatter diffraction and …
Headache in cerebrospinal fluid volume depletion syndrome: A case report
2006
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume depletion syndrome is due to leakage of cerebrospinal fluid through lesions of the dural sac at the level of the cranial base or of the spine. When past medical history is negative for recent trauma or surgery, the term spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is used. SIH is characterized clinically by orthostatic headache, neck pain, nausea, emesis, horizontal diplopia, tinnitus, plugged ear, hearing difficulties, blurring of vision, facial numbness, and upper limb radicular symptoms. In SIH, brain and cervical MR scans show a diffuse pachymeningeal gadolinium enhancement that ends at the site of CSF leakage. The application of epidural blood patches has…
Photochemical holes under pressure: Compressibility and volume fluctuations of a protein
1991
From the pressure induced frequency shift of photochemical holes burnt into mesomorphyrin substituted horseradish peroxidase, we determined the compressibility of the protein and the vacuum frequency of the chromophore. From the compressibility, an estimation of the volume fluctuations of the biomolecule is possible.
Thermodynamic properties of some N-alkyl-N-methylpiperidinium chlorides and N-alkylpiperidine hydrochlorides in water
1993
Densities and heat capacities at 25[degrees]C were measured for N-octyl-, N-decyl- and N-dodecyl-N-methylpiperidinium chlorides and for N-octyl- and N-dodecylpiperidine hydrochlorides in water as functions of concentration. Enthalpies of dilution at 25[degrees]C and osmotic coefficients at 37[degrees]C of the N-methyl-N-alkylpiperidinium chlorides were also measured as functions of concentration. The partial molar volumes, heat capacities, relative enthalpies, nonideal Gibbs energies and entropies at 25[degrees]C were derived as functions of the surfactant concentration. By increasing the alkyl chain length of the surfactant, both the apparent molar volume vs. concentration curves are shift…
