Introduction: A long term follow - up of thyrotoxic patients treated sur- gically is required not only for early detection of hypothyroid patients with poor compliance with treatment, but also for revealing late postoperative hyperthyroidism. Regarding the prevalence of postoperative hyperthyroidism, two previous studies found that 16% relapsed after 20 years (Kalk WJ, 1978) and 19% of post - thyroidectomy thyrotoxicosis occurred 20 -50 years after
Read moreBackground: After total thyroidectomy and radioiodine ablation therapy in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC), thyroglobulin (Tg), anti-thyroglobulin antibodies (Anti TgAb) and post-therapeutic 131I scan (whole body scan-WBS) are essential for the risk stratification and for further management. Stimulated serum Tg levels on thyroid hormone (T4) withdrawal are usually well correlated with 131I imaging results. Changes in thyroglobulin
Read moreMany applications in GIS are characterized by data network representing and analysis. Network analysis is based on linear structures. The fields where these types of analysis are used are different, such as: roads network, electric networks, hydrographic network and so on. For example, a hydrographic network is characterized by a one way direction (the water will flow in the same direction) with no return. Instead a road network can be crossed in
Read moreFlood risk assessment in Timis River basin - the Caransebes -Lugoj sector- using GIS technique. Over time freshets, thus floods constituted and constitute a particularly important issue that requires attention. In many cases, flood damages are extensive to the environment, to the economy and also socially. The purpose of this paper is to identify flood-prone areas between Caransebes and Lugoj, land that is part of the Timis river basin. This paper
Read moreSatellite and aerial images are objective photographical representations of the reality from the field, related to spatial – temporal frames. The purpose of the present study is to create a comparative analysis of a LANDSAT 8 satellite image by supervised and unsupervised classification methods. The algorithms used in this research were maximum likelihood algorithm for supervised classification and ISODATA algorithm for unsupervised classification.
Read moreThe satellite image is the current graphic document, containing the real data of the terrestrial surface when it was acquired, based on which the soil and the vegetation cover can be evaluated. The NDVI index is used for a large number of the vegetation properties. In this research we analyzed the variation of NDVI index depending on R, G, B and NIR spectral bands, based on the LANDSAT 8 images. The relation between NDVI index with the respective
Read moreTransportation of hazardous materials represent a high risk operation all over the world. Flammable substances such as oil, kerosene, hydrocarbons, ammonium nitrate or toxic products are shipped every day on busy roads by trucks. An innovative solution for increasing hazardous materials transportation safety is presented in this paper. The solution integrates three systems: one mounted on the truck that can alert authorities in case of an accident,
