Image series expansion for electrical impedance tomography.

Phys Rev Lett

Department of Electrical Engineering, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel.

Published: October 2004

A novel electrical impedance tomography method is introduced for reconstruction of layered biological tissues. The method utilizes a recently proposed image series expansion scheme in conjunction with the WKB approximation. This results in a locality feature, assigning analytically to each image term a local impedance associated with a unique layer, and thus leading to linear, efficient, and accurate reconstruction procedures.

Purpose: We compared the radiographic union and magnitude of humpback deformity correction when using different vascularized bone grafts (VBGs) and nonvascularized bone grafts (NVBGs) in the treatment of unstable scaphoid nonunions (USNUs).

Methods: This was a retrospective radiographic review of 93 patients with an USNU treated between 2013 and 2022 at a single center by a single surgeon. Inclusion criteria included skeletally mature patients with radiographic evidence of an USNU resulting from failure of either nonsurgical or operative treatment.

Negotiation of the intricate pulp canal space may pose a challenge in endodontic treatment. Consequently, appropriate diagnosis and thorough knowledge of the pattern and distribution of root canal systems are imperative for a more predictable outcome in the treatment of pulp diseases. Accordingly, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is deemed appropriate as an adjunctive diagnostic tool in endodontics.

Purpose: To evaluate the radiological and clinical outcomes in two patient groups: first, varus aligned medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) patients who underwent posteromedial open wedge high tibial osteotomy (PMOWHTO) and simultaneous root repair; second, patients with varus medial knee osteoarthritis without MMPRT who underwent PMOWHTO.

Methods: Patients had MMPRT repair concomitant with PMOWHTO and varus medial knee osteoarthritis without concomitant root tear patients who underwent PMOWHTO and were reviewed. Radiographic parameters, medial meniscus extrusion (MME) and Knee Society Scores [KSSs, including the following subscores: knee score (KS) and knee function score (KFS)] were evaluated.

Background: Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) is a common pathogen causing non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections, primarily affecting the lungs. Disseminated MAC disease occurs mainly in immunocompromised individuals, such as those with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, hematological malignancies, or those positive for anti-interferon-γ antibodies. However, its occurrence in solid organ transplant recipients is uncommon.

Electronic address:

Background: Accurate quantification of microRNA (miRNA) is of great significance because it provides opportunities for the accurate early diagnosis of a series of human diseases including cancers. Currently, complicated nucleic acid amplification technologies are always required for the highly sensitive miRNA detection. The introduction of nucleic acid signal amplification coupled with various enzymes will inevitably lead to tedious work and increase the complexity of the analysis process.
