ABSTRACT Introduction and objectives: The safety of physiology-based revascularization in patients with diabetes mellitus has been scarcely investigated.Our objective was to determine the safety of deferring revascularization based on the fractional flow reserve (FFR) or the instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) in diabetic patients.Methods: Single-c
Introduction Dynamic chest radiography (DCR) is a novel, low-dose, real-time digital imaging system where software identifies moving thoracic structures and can automatically calculate lung areas.In an observational, prospective, non-controlled, single-centre pilot study, we compared it with whole-body plethysmography (WBP) in the measurement of lu

Although more than ten years have passed since the marketing of Ulipristal acetate in Europe, emergency contraception remains a complex issue with many scientific, legal, ethical and social implications.The topic is an example of the differences that can exist between scientific evidence, the certainties on which law is based, and social implicatio
The high abstraction level of equation-based object-oriented (EOO) languages such as Modelica has the drawback that programming and modeling errors are ALF often hard to find.In this paper we present integrated static and dynamic debugging methods for Modelica models and a debugger prototype that addresses several of those problems.The goal is an i
