Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a threatening condition, and it is far more common than previously assumed, especially after the COVID pandemic. Its outcome is not good; if detected late, and can lead ...
In this study, 160 patients having both CT and echocardiography with a maximum gap of one month were assessed from June to November 2021. The association between CT signs and echocardiography to diagn...
The correlation between main pulmonary artery (MPA) diameter and main pulmonary artery to aorta ratio (MPA/AO) with mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) was weak but statistically significant (r = 0....
The CT signs of PH correlate with echocardiography; however, should not be used solely; the cut-off values should be used according to race and population....
Effective separation of hydrogen isotopes still remains one of the extremely challenging tasks in industry. Compared to the present methods that are energy- and cost-intensive, quantum sieving technol...
This micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) study analyzed band-shaped isthmuses having their floor at the apical third of the mesiobuccal roots of maxillary molars in terms of 2D and 3D morphological p...
A total of 199 maxillary first molars were scanned with micro-CT. Twenty-seven specimens, confirmed to have a band-shaped isthmus, were further examined in terms of the isthmus length, volume, structu...
The band-shaped isthmus frequency was 13.5% and its length reached up to 5.5 mm. The distances of the apical foramina of mesiobuccal canals (MB1 and MB2) from the isthmus floor were similar (p > .05)....
The band-shaped isthmuses are not rare and can reach through the half of the root length with oval cross-sections in the floor and roof anatomy. The distance between the isthmus floor and apical foram...
The band-shaped isthmus morphology contributes to the complexity of the apical anatomy of maxillary first molar teeth with various lengths and diameters....
Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) allows direct visualization of monosodium urate (MSU) deposits in joints and soft tissues....
To describe the distribution of MSU deposits in cadavers using DECT in the head, body trunk, and feet....
A total of 49 cadavers (41 embalmed and 8 fresh cadavers; 20 male, 29 female; mean age, 79.5 years; SD ± 11.3; range 52-95) of unknown clinical history underwent DECT to assess MSU deposits in the hea...
33/41 embalmed cadavers (80.5%) showed MSU deposits within the thoracic aorta. 11/41 cadavers (26.8%) showed MSU deposits within the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints and 46.3% of cadavers demonstrated...
Microscopy confirmed the presence of MSU deposits in fresh cadavers within the lens, thoracic aorta, and foot tendons, whereas no MSU deposits could be detected in cranium/intracerebral vessels or cor...
In the present study, we explore the time-dependent convectional flow of a rheological nanofluid over a turning cone with the consolidated impacts of warmth and mass exchange. It has been shown that i...
Post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) is an increasingly utilized tool in forensic medicine for evaluating head gunshot injuries. Vault bevelling sign, when present, provides information regarding en...
A-mode ultrasound (US) is a potential method for directly measuring muscle thickness in patients with cancer, but its utility remains underexplored. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using A-mod...
A cross-sectional analysis was conducted with hospitalized patients with cancer. Muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) was derived from CT scans. Biceps muscle thickness (BMT) and thigh muscle thickness (...
We included 120 patients (53.3% women, 45% older adults, and 85.8% with disease stages III-IV). TMT alone and the combined approach (BMT + TMT) were weak and positively correlated and significantly as...
A-mode US has the potential to be a feasible tool for diagnosing sarcopenia in clinical practice at the bedside for patients with cancer despite the need for further improvements in the tool's accurac...
Artificial Neural Networks are incredibly efficient at handling complicated and nonlinear mathematical problems, making them very useful for tackling these challenges. Artificial neural networks offer...
Utilizing acoustic information for search route planning will greatly increase the success rate of searching for underwater targets, which requires rapid computing of numerous underwater acoustic fiel...
Photon-counting detector-computed tomography (PCD-CT) has emerged as a promising technology, offering improved spatial resolution....
This study aimed to evaluate the clinical impact and diagnostic performance of PCD-CT vs conventional energy-integrating detector computed tomography (EID-CT) for obstructive coronary artery disease (...
From 2022 to 2023, we retrospectively identified 7,833 consecutive patients who underwent clinically indicated coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) at a single center, with either PCD-CT (n...
Patients who underwent PCD-CT were less frequently referred to subsequent ICA than those undergoing EID-CT (9.9% vs 13.1%; P < 0.001). Among those who underwent ICA, revascularization was more frequen...
PCD-CT exhibited excellent diagnostic performance for detecting obstructive CAD. Compared with patients undergoing conventional EID-CT, fewer patients were referred to ICA after PCD-CT, but those refe...
