COMPARISON OF THE DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMANCE OF 64-SLICE COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY CORONARY ANGIOGRAPHY IN DIABETIC AND NON-DIABETIC PATIENTS WITH SUSPECTED CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE

Abstract Background Diabetics have high prevalence of subclinical coronary artery disease (CAD) with typical characteristics (diffuse disease, large calcifications).Although 64-slice multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) coronary angiography has high diagnostic accuracy to detect CAD, its diagnostic performance in diabetics with suspected CAD is

This paper presents a heterogeneous configuration of the multirotor unmanned aerial system (UAS) that features the combined characteristics of the helicopter and quadrotor in a single multirotor design, featuring the endurance and energy efficiency similar to a helicopter, while keeping the mechanical simplicity, control, and manoeuvrability of the

This paper deals with a possibility of reduction of guiding forces magnitude in small-radius curves by Lamps means of active elements.These guiding forces characterize the lateral force interaction between the rail vehicle and the track and influence the wear of wheels and rails in curves.Their magnitudes are assessed in the framework of vehicle au
