Changes in myocardial metabolism can be detected externally by registration of time-activity curves after administration of radioiodinated fatty acids. In this scintigraphic study the influence of lactate on fatty acid metabolism was investigated in the normal human myocardium, traced with 123l-17-iodoheptadecanoic acid (123l-17-HDA). In patients (paired, n = 7) lactate loading decreased the uptake of 123l-17-HDA significantly from 27 (control: 22-36) to 20 counts/min/pixel (16-31; p <0.05 Wilcoxon). The half-time value increased to more than 60 rriin (n = 5), oxidation decreased from 61 to 42%. Coronary vasodilatation, a well-known side effect of lactate loading, was studied separately in a dipyridamole study (paired, n = 6). Coronary vasodilatation did not influence the parameters of the time-activity curve. These results suggest that changes in plasma lactate level as occurring, among other effects, during exercise will influence the parameters of dynamic 123l-17-HDA scintigraphy of the heart.

Optimal fitting of a myocardial time-activity curve is accomplished with a monoexponential plus a constant, resulting in three parameters: amplitude and half-time of the monoexponential and the constant. The aim of this study was to estimate the precision of the calculated parameters. The variability of the parameter values as a function of the acquisition time was studied in 11 patients with cardiac complaints. Of the three parameters the half-time value varied most strongly with the acquisition time. An acquisition time of 80 min was needed to keep the standard deviation of the half-time value within ±10%. To estimate the standard deviation of the half-time value as a function of the parameter values, of the noise content of the time-activity curve and of the acquisition time, a model experiment was used. In most cases the SD decreased by 50% if the acquisition time was increased from 60 to 90 min. A low amplitude/constant ratio and a high half-time value result in a high SD of the half-time value. Tables are presented to estimate the SD in a particular case.

This series of videos, Chief Resource Management Officer, decontextualizes and amplifies mundane tasks and actions, exposing an inherent absurdity and dry humor. Conceptually and visually, I engage themes of corporate management structures, cult dynamics, and Sisyphean tasks. Within this work, I am primarily interested in developing situations that disrupt familiar social and political hierarchies. Utilizing recognizable apparel and gestures, I playfully occupy the threshold of absurdity while asking questions about time, value, routines, and the monetization of work and/or presence.

The time value of money is a basic investment concept and a basic element in the conventional theory of finance. The Shari`ah does not rule out this consideration, for it does not prohibit any increment in a loan given to cover the price of a commodity in any sale contract to be paid at a future date. What is prohibited, however, is making money’s time value an element of any lending relationship that considers it to have a predetermined value. Here, the Shari`ah requires that a loan be due in the same currency in which it was given. The value (i.e., purchasing power) of paper currencies varies due to changes in many variables over which the two parties of a loan contract usually have no control. This study examines possible modus operandi of time valuation according to the Shari`ah’s precepts vis-à-vis the concept of money, and whether any value can be attributed to time while considering money’s value. For this purpose, it investigates the juristic views on such relevant issues as the permissibility of difference between a commodity’s cash and credit prices and an increase and reduction of the loan’s amount in return for early repayment.
