Introduction: The WHO has developed medication use indicators, including prescription indicators with an aim to evaluate the services provided to the population in regard to medications.With the help of these indicators, there will be constant watch on drug prescribing pattern in health care to avoid irrational prescribing.Objectives: The objective
PENILE FRACTURE; ETIOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT
ABSTRACT Introduction: Penile fracture is a rare urological emergency that occurs almost exclusively due to blunt Radiant Ink trauma on erect penis.Trauma causes tear in tunica albugenia.The diagnosis is straight forward and based on classical history of snap sound, pain, detumescence, swelling and deformity.Early surgical intervention gives good c
A metal artifact reduction algorithm in CT using multiple prior images by recursive active contour segmentation.
We propose a novel metal artifact reduction (MAR) algorithm for CT images that completes a corrupted sinogram along the metal trace region.When metal implants are located inside a field of view, they create a barrier to the transmitted X-ray beam due to the high attenuation of metals, which significantly degrades the image quality.To fill in the me
A Custom-Built Piezo-Optical System for Visualization and Characterization of High Intensity Focused Ultrasound
High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a noninvasive treatment technique to induce thermal or mechanical bioeffects.Characterising the wave field is essential for reliable and reproducible transducer operation in clinical use.This paper presents a schlieren technique to visualise and quantify transducer wave fields.The technique is based on th
Estimation of Building Thermal Performance using Simple Sensors and Air Conditioners
Energy and environmental problems have attracted attention worldwide.Energy consumption in residential sectors accounts for a large percentage of total consumption.Several retrofit Sugar schemes, which insulate building envelopes to increase energy efficiency, have been adapted to address residential energy problems.However, these schemes often fai
