[An empirical model for calculating electron dose distributions].

Dose-distributions in radiation fields are calculated for purpose of irradiation planning from measured depth dose and cross-distributions predominantly. Especially in electron fields the measuring effort is high to this, because these distributions have to be measured for all occurring irradiation parameters and in many different tissue depths. At the very least it can be shown for the 6.

Heart rate pattern during sleep in an infant with congenital prolongation of the Q-T interval (Romano-Ward syndrome).

Heart rate and the variability of the heart rate, indices of autonomic control, were studied during sleep in an infant with prolonged Q-T interval (Romano-Ward syndrome) and were compared to the heart rate and variability of heart rate in 18 normal infants studied at monthly intervals during the first four months of life. The overall variability and beat-to-beat variability in the infant with Romano-Ward syndrome were significantly below the median in the normal infants at each age and sleep state. This decrease in overall and beat-to-beat variability persisted after normalization by the absolute heart rate; however, the heart rate in the infant with Romano-Ward syndrome was not different from those in normal infants.
