Strain and Shear Wave Elastography in Thyroid Nodules: Tissue Stiffness as a Complementary Risk Marker for Differentiating Benign, Indeterminate, and Malignant Cytology

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the diagnostic performance of shear wave elastography (SWE) and strain elastography (SE) as complementary techniques to conventional B‐mode ultrasound for differentiating benign, indeterminate, and malignant thyroid nodules. Methods This prospective cross‐sectional study included 208 thyroid nodules evaluated using B‐mode

Operational assessment and adaptive selection of micro‐Doppler features

IET Radar, Sonar & Navigation, 2015
A key challenge for radar surveillance systems is the discrimination of ground‐based targets, especially humans from animals, as well as different types of human activities. For this purpose, target micro‐Doppler signatures have been shown to yield high automatic target classification rates; however, performance is typically only given for near‐optimal

Perceptions and experiences of midwives' regarding the use of the labor care guide at two state hospitals in Khomas region, Namibia

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract The labor care guide (LCG) is a new tool for monitoring labor, introduced to replace the partograph, which had been used improperly and inconsistently across various contexts. Early research suggests that healthcare practitioners view the LCG as a tool that enhances the quality of care during labor and delivery.
