Background: The aim of this study was to observe the effect comprehensive yogic breathing (Sudarshan Kriya Yoga [SKY] and Pranayam) had on cardiac autonomic functions in patients with diabetes.Materials and Methods: This is a prospective randomized controlled intervention trial.Cardiac autonomic functions were assessed in 64 diabetics.Patients were
OBJECTIVES: This paper proposes imaging with 3-dimensional vibroacoustography for postoperatively assessing the uncovered cup area after total hip arthroplasty as a quantitative criterion to evaluate implant fixation.METHODS: A phantom with a bone-like structure covered by a tissue-mimicking material was used to simulate a total hip arthroplasty ca
Sonochemical Baby Bottle Nipples technology is a technology that involves ultrasonic waves in chemical reactions.In this study, humic acid isolated from peat soil has been successfully modified with magnetite (HA-Fe3O4) using sonochemical technology.Characterization of the physical and chemical properties of HA-Fe3O4 was carried out using FTIR, XRD
In cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) of radiation-sensitive biological samples, both the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the contrast of images are critically important in the image-processing pipeline.Classic methods improve low-frequency image contrast experimentally, by imaging with high defocus, or computationally, by applying various typ
