Aims: While acute cardiovascular complications of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are well described, less is known about longer-term cardiac sequelae. For many individuals with cardiac signs or symptoms arising after COVID-19 infection, the aetiology remains unclear. We examined immune profiles associated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) abnormalities in patients with unexplained cardiac injury after COVID-19.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA unified approach for calculation of information data stream parameters in the atmospheric optical communication channel is presented based on irradiance fluctuations of optical wave propagation through turbulence and on a generalized Ricean K-parameter distribution. The effects of turbulence are described via the well-known Kolmogorov scheme of turbulent structure relaxation in terms of stochastic scintillation theory described by the gamma-gamma distribution along with measurements of the values of the refractive index structure parameter, C(n)(2). The relation between the Ricean parameter K and the signal scintillation parameter sigma(I)(2) is considered to develop a unified description of the corresponding probability density function (pdf) of signal fading within an atmospheric wireless communication link.
