Abstract

The 'USHUS' journal has been consistently trying to bring together academic effort from many regions and on several diverse issues. This issue, in particular, saw significant contribution from the teaching fraternity. Eminent educationists, academicians and lecturers from regions as far apart as Karnataka, Goa, Manipur and Indore have been able to put forward their valued opinions and the results of numerous meticulous research projects for general deliberation and readership. Finance and entrepreneurship have taken centre stage this time around, with Financial Planning for the Future, Micro Finance in Manipur (Robita S), a Hypothetical Model for Strategising Future 'Banks' (Justin Paul) and Entrepreneurial Survey in Relation to Commercial Banks' Lending (Anitha H.S.) giving due consideration to the theoretical, institutional, implemented and projected frameworks of this vital field.

The conundrum of ECG-gated carotid arterial imaging with navigator corrected respiratory motion

“…3D sequences combat this problem but swallowing [1] and respiratory motion [2] may cause motion artefact. Non-ECG gated imaging is reported to be qualitatively comparable to ECG-gated images in older people with thickened, less compliant vessel walls [3]. We used a cross-pair navigator to track respiratory motion with and without ECG-gating to assess image quality.…”
