Background: Spectral Doppler ultrasound, an important diagnostic tool for the functional assessment of various organs, as yet has no major use in prenatal diagnosis due to the conventional technique's limitation of analyzing only one site at a time. Our aim was to develop a new modality that shows simultaneous studies of multiple sites in a vascular area, which should provide improved assessment of hemodynamic status of vascular systems.
Technique: The new Doppler modality features automatic acquisition and analysis of blood flow in multiple sites over a large area. The quantitative Doppler data are presented as color-coded maps of the spectral Doppler indices overlaid on the gray-scale sonographic images and as histograms of indices distribution.
Experience: Serial sequences of Doppler measurements in the umbilical artery were taken in 14 women. The reproducibility of the new modality was confirmed.
Conclusion: Our new Doppler modality provides reproducible and reliable data. This method is a viable alternative to the traditional Doppler ultrasound and might offer better assessment of feto-placental circulation.

In this paper, the idea of a radar based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is applied to 5G NR Positioning Reference Signals (PRS). This study demonstrates how the estimation of the communication channel using the PRS can be applied for the identification of objects moving near the 5G NR receiver. In this context, this refers to a 5G NR base station capable of detecting a high-speed train (HST).

Background: This study aimed to assess the accuracy of tricuspid spectral Doppler (E/A) and tissue Doppler parameters (E/E') to diagnose right ventricular diastolic dysfunction (RVDD) in comparison to American Society of Echocardiography (ASE criteria) in pediatric tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) patients after surgical repair.
Methods: This prospective, observational study was done at a tertiary care hospital involving 40 pediatric TOF patients aged less than 2 years who underwent complete intracardiac repair with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Echocardiographic observations were made using a pediatric transesophageal echocardiography probe after surgical repair in the post-CPB period.

Approximately 5-10% of patients with hypertension have secondary hypertension. We describe a case of secondary hypertension from bilateral renal artery stenosis (RAS): "Pickering syndrome." This is a case of hypertension secondary to bilateral RAS which provides an opportunity to review secondary hypertension with a specific focus on RAS, in terms of when to consider work up, causes of secondary hypertension, diagnostic testing, and treatment.

Chromatographic separations in combination with spectroscopic detectors are a main pillar of today's analytical chemistry. The recorded spectroscopic data is usually not shown in a typical chromatogram, therefore the contained additional information cannot be accessed readily by the analyst and is inspected in tedious additional routines, such as separate database searches. We developed a method to add colors to gas chromatograms with mass spectral detection.
