Examination of the time course of left ventricular ejection has been found useful in several clinical applications. Equilibrium gated radionuclide angiography provides non-invasive means to obtain the ventricular ejection curve. To evaluate the accuracy of the equilibrium gated radionuclide left ventricular volume curve we compared equilibrium gated radionuclide date with biplane cine-angiography in 16 patients examining each set of data on a point by point basis. The cine-angiographic data consisted of 60 frame per second biplane cineangiograms and the radionuclide data consisted of 28 points spanning the cardiac cycle. All data was normalized for the patient's heart rate and stroke volume. The equilibrium gated radionuclide angiographic data accurately reproduced the contrast angiographic data at each point on the curve. This result justifies using the equilibrium gated radionuclide time activity curve to evaluate parameters such as early systolic ejection rates or rates of maximum ventricular ejection.

Gated equilibrium radionuclide angiography (ERNA), or multigated acquisition scanning, is a well-established technique to monitor left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients treated with potentially cardiotoxic chemotherapy. To determine the results of a true change in LVEF, low inter- and intrareader variability is important. The aim of this study was to investigate inter- and intrareader variability in LVEF measurements using 2 different commercially available software packages with cardiac MR (CMR) as a reference standard.

Equilibrium radionuclide angiography (ERNA) has long been assumed as the preferred method to assess cardiac volumes as well as left ventricular systolic and diastolic indices. ERNA was used to diagnose subtle changes in cardiac function during chemotherapy or early stages of heart failure. Gated myocardial perfusion SPECT (GMPS) was introduced as a more feasible and versatile alternative to ERNA, but the precision of GMPS to assess systolic and diastolic indices has not yet been fully reviewed.

Tropical cyclones (TCs) sporadically cause extensive damage to forests. However, little is known about how TCs affect forest dynamics in mountainous terrain, due to difficulties in modelling wind flows and quantifying structural changes. Typhoon Mangkhut (2018) was the strongest TC to strike Hong Kong in over 40 yr, with gusts > 250 km h.

Copper complexes of tripodal ligands have been used as model systems for electron transfer proteins for decades, displaying a broad range of electron self-exchange rates. We herein report a group of six tripodal tetradentate triarylamine ligands which display a varying number of guanidine and 2-methylquinolinyl moieties. Their corresponding Cu(I) complexes have been (re)synthesized and studied with regard to their electron transfer properties.
