Thyroid cancer ranks second in the incidence rate of endocrine malignant cancer. Thyroid cancer is usually asymptomatic at the initial stage, which makes patients easily miss the early treatment time. Combining genetic testing with imaging can greatly improve the diagnostic efficiency of thyroid cancer.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: To compare the therapeutic effect of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP) and nitroglycerin on acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF).
Methods: Fifty ADHF patients were randomly divided into rhBNP group and nitroglycerin group. In all the patients, dyspnea and global clinical status were assessed before and at 30 min, 6 h and 24 h after drug administration, and the volume of fluid intake and urine along with hemodynamic parameters was recorded 24 h after drug administration.

Objective: To investigate the effects of ultrasound mediated microbubble destruction on capillary permeability in rat skeletal muscles.
Methods: Eighteen SD rats were randomized into 3 groups, namely the Evans blue (EB) group, EB+ultrasound (E+U) group and EB+microbubble+ultrasound (U+E+M) group with corresponding treatments, using EB injected into the carotid artery as the indicator for capillary permeability. The microbubbles were injected through the carotid artery with fixed ultrasound parameters.
Objective: To investigate the optimal atrioventricular delay (AVD) in using dual-chamber pacemaker.
Methods: Thirty patients with atrioventricular conduction block, aged 62 +/- 12, implanted for were implanted with DDD pacemakers. Program controller was used to program the AVD.
