Preliminary image evaluation performance of radiographers in one New Zealand District: a 6‐month prospective study [PDF]
The aim of this study was to determine what effect regular feedback had on radiographers' performance when performing PIE in ED. A prospective longitudinal study design was used to analyse PIEs performed by radiographers for 6‐months between 2 April and 30 September 2023. The findings of this study recommend participants in a PIE system receive ongoing

Primary Peritoneal Serous Cancer: A Case Report of a Tumor in the Rectovaginal Septum [PDF]
Peritoneal cancer is the invasion by malignant cells of serous membrane that lines the abdominal cavity, the viscera, and the coelom of the amniotes. Histologically, it is indistinguishable from ovarian counterpart, although in the former, it commonly involves the ovary only superficially, or it may totally lack an ovarian component, but with extensive

Condition Assessment of Passive MRTB Based on Fuzzy Theory [PDF]
As one of the core equipment of high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) transmission system, the health status of passive MRTB would directly threaten the secure and stable operation of power system. Aiming at correctly getting the real-time operating status of passive MRTB , a new condition assessment method base on fuzzy theory is proposed and the ...
