Rationale: To assess feasibility and yield of diagnostic procedures after active case finding
for tuberculosis with radiologic screening at the three main entry points for asylum seekers to …

since 1999 data from pulmonary hypertension (PH) patients from all PH centres in Switzerland
were prospectively collected. We analyse the epidemiological aspects of these data. PH …

At present, further investigations are needed in patients with suspected pulmonary tuberculosis
(TB) and either negative sputum smear or without sputum. The aim of the present study …

Pulmonary artery sarcomas (PAS) represent a group of rare tumours with a poor prognosis.
In a recent review, the mean¡ SD survival of patients with this disease was 11¡ 3 months …

Background: The 6-min walk test (6MWT) is frequently used to assess overall cardiopulmonary
fitness and to predict outcome, but it yields little diagnostic information. Portable …

We present the catalog of sources detected in the first 22 months of data from the hard X-ray
survey (14–195 keV) conducted with the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) coded mask imager on …

… The spectral properties of X-ray afterglows of XRFs and C-GRBs are similar, but the temporal
properties of XRFs and C-GRBs are quite different. We found that the light curves of C-GRB …

Remote sensing data can be acquired during different times of the year and different times of
the day using satellite or aircraft systems. Radiance values of pixels vary with ground target…

… Its designed energy band was 25-40 keV with Pt/C graded-multilayers and we could
successfully have shown its imaging capability of 1.9 arcmin of HPD(Half Power Diameter) and …

… At its peak, the optical flash reached a measured R c -band magnitude of R c … c ≈ 13.7 mag.
(Error analysis and our transformation of unfiltered instrumental magnitudes to standard R c -…
