Moving target indication (MTI) is a mode of operation of a radar to discriminate a target against the clutter. [1] It describes a variety of techniques used for finding moving objects, like an aircraft, and filter out unmoving ones, like hills or trees.
Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) is a technology that can be used for therapeutic purposes.It exploits low intensity and pulsed mechanical waves in order to induce regenerative and anti-inflammatory effects on biological tissues, such as bone, [1] cartilage, and tendon. [2]
On inspection the clinician looks for signs of: trauma; previous surgery ()muscle wasting/muscle asymmetry; edema (swelling) erythema (redness); ulcers – arterial ulcers tend to be on the borders / sides of the foot, neuropathic ulcers on the plantar surface of the foot, venous ulcers tend on be on the medial aspect of the leg superior to the medial malleolus.
The Paraná maneuver makes use of a proprioceptive reflex to test venous-muscle-pump- induced flow. (A proprioceptive reflex is a response to a perceived stimulus, especially with regard to movement and position of the body.) [ 19 ] A slight push to the waist triggers a muscle contraction in the leg to maintain posture.
The ability to counter steep diving missiles was improved with more energy at higher elevations or longer pulse. [ 5 ] : 316–317 SPY-1B(V) is a development of earlier SPY-1B with moving target indication capability incorporated in 1997.
In 1899 Austrian chemist von Zaynek determined the rate of heat production in tissue as a function of frequency and current density, and first proposed using high-frequency currents for deep heating therapy. [7] In 1908 German physician Karl Franz Nagelschmidt coined the term diathermy, and performed the first extensive experiments on patients. [8]
Get Your Drugs Tested is a free public drug checking service located in Vancouver, Canada. [1] It was founded by Dana Larsen in May 2019, accepting samples in person at their storefront and by mail from all across Canada. Dana Larsen said: "I want to help save lives, I want people to be informed and I wish they could buy clean, pre-tested drugs ...
Veterinarians were the first health professionals to use PEMF therapy, usually to attempt to heal broken legs in racehorses. [6] In 2004, a pulsed electromagnetic field system was approved by the FDA as an adjunct to cervical fusion surgery in patients at high risk for non-fusion. [6]
