High bit rates optical communication systems pose the challenge of their tolerance to linear and nonlinear fiber impairments.The techniques processing of linear and nonlinear impairments involve which balance between linear and nonlinear impairments.Optical Solitons are the special breed of wave packets which can propagate over long distance withou
Assessment of Treatment Plan Quality between Flattening Filter and Flattening Filter Free Photon Beam for Carcinoma of the Esophagus with IMRT Technique
Background: As compared to the flattened photon beam, removing the flattening filter (FF) from the head of a gantry decreases the average energy of the photon beam and increases the dose rate, leading to an impact on the quality of treatment plans.Objective: This study aimed to compare the quality of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) tre

Use of coronary hardware in peripheral vascular interventions: Necessity fostered ingenuity-Is it solution enough?
In third world countries like India, where there is a paucity of dedicated interventional radiologists and Invitations training fellowships in peripheral interventions, it is the onus of the cardiologist to perform peripheral interventions.This coupled with logistic constraints of unavailability of medical insurance for majority of the population,
Role of Serum Ferritin in Predicting Outcomes of COVID-19 Infection Among Sickle Cell Disease Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) are at higher risk of getting severe COVID-19 infection.This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the role of serum ferritin in predicting ICU admission and mortality among patients with SCD following COVID-19 infection.A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Emb
