QUANTIFYING PATTERNS OF SMOOTH MUSCLE MOTILITY IN THE GUT AND OTHER ORGANS WITH NEW TECHNIQUES OF VIDEO SPATIOTEMPORAL MAPPING

Quantifying Patterns of Smooth Muscle Motility in the Gut and Other Organs With New Techniques of Video Spatiotemporal Mapping

The uses and limitations of the various techniques of video spatiotemporal mapping based on change in diameter (D-type ST maps), PS4 change in longitudinal strain rate (L-type ST maps), change in area strain rate (A-type ST maps), and change in luminous intensity of reflected light (I-maps) are described, along with their use in quantifying motilit

Percutaneous snare-retrieval of intracardiac thrombus under fluoroscopic and transesophageal echocardiography guidance: case report and systematic review

Intracardiac foreign bodies (IFB) are rare clinical conditions.There are now several reports on the percutaneous retrieval of IFB under fluoroscopy.However, some IFB are not radiopaque, and retrieval requires combined fluoroscopic and ultrasound guidance.We report the case of a bedridden 23-year-old male patient with T-lymphoblastic lymphoma treate

Effectiveness of Different P2Y12 Inhibitors on Coronary Flow in Patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Background: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a clinical syndrome with high mortality.The main purpose of STEMI treatment is to achieve optimal revascularization for tissue perfusion.Besides the innovations in revascularization strategies, developments in antithrombotic therapy resulted in a significant reduction in STEMI-relate

A machine learning approach to detect potentially harmful and protective suicide-related content in broadcast media.

Suicide-related media content has preventive or harmful effects depending on the specific content.Proactive media screening for suicide prevention is hampered by the scarcity of machine learning approaches to detect specific characteristics in news reports.This study applied machine learning to label large quantities of broadcast (TV and radio) Gui
