Congenital hypothyroidism:Pertechnetetate scan is a fairly simple exam to perform. It can pretty accurately distinguish between several etiologies: athyrogenesis (no thyroid uptake), ectopic thyroid/lingual thyroid (uptake is noted outside the expected thyroid bed/lower neck), and thyroid hormone dys...
using a bi-factor model, three factors can be extracted from the Short-scale Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised16neuroticism scale, and that these factors had different effects on health. The first factor, a
Proposed diagnostic algorithm for women with suspected heart failure. In both acute and chronic HF, TTE is the frontline test for the evaluation of cardiac contractility and chamber volumes, in addition to cardiac biomarkers (troponin and brain natriuretic peptide) [114]. Because of TTE’s potentia...

Cardiac SPECT: Cardiac SPECT systems focus on cardiac imaging by utilizing specialized detector heads to enhance the accuracy of heart-related scans.[49] Brain SPECT: Brain SPECT systems are tailored to deliver higher sensitivity and resolution in neuroimaging, allowing for detailed exploration of brain...
I.V. Dobutamine is used for asthma patients and is a drug designed to increase the heart rate. Side effects, which may occur, include chest pain, headache, dizziness, changes in heart rate and blood pressure, nausea and flushing, heart pounding and jitteriness. You will be given the tracer...
Gamma radiation detector forms the heart of a radiation monitoring system and hence, deployment of such detectors in the vicinity of nuclear power plants is vital. There has been a steady migration from conventional fossil fuel based energy to the realization of sustainable and economically viable ...

Subsequently, recent experimental results from the first beam energy scan program (BES-I) at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) pertaining to measurements of collectivity, chirality, criticality, global polarization, strangeness, heavy flavor, dilepton and light nuclei productions are reviewed....
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are defense mechanisms that trap and kill microorganisms and degrade cytokines. However, excessive production, dysregulation of suppression mechanisms, or inefficient removal of NETs can contribute to increased infla
