Promoting bone healing including fracture non-unions are promising targets for bone tissue engineering due to the limited success of current clinical treatment methods. There has been significant research on the use of stem cells with and without biomate
Preoperative studies and clinical information are helpful in the evaluation of postoperative MRI examinationsBackground: CNS abnormalities may occur in different stadium of leukemia and be caused by: leukemic infiltration, indirect complications associated with the disease or side-effects of the therapy.To...
Currently, patients with clinically isolated syn- drome (CIS) and brain lesions on MRI sugges- tive of multiple sclerosis (MS), are offered a con- firmatory MRI scan after 6 months. Researchers in Italy have found, however, that conversion to a diagnosis of MS based on MRI can be made...
This is a double-blinded, randomized controlled trial to investigate the effects of vitamin D supplementation during the post-operative period on quadriceps muscle strength in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-injured patients. Patients aged 18–50 with serum vitamin D < 20 ng/ml, unilateral AC...

Erectile Function Restoration After Repair of Resected Cavernous Nerves by Adipose-Derived Stem Cells Combined with Autologous Vein Graft in Rats ADSCs combined with autologous vein graft treatment had beneficial effects on the smooth muscle/collagen ratio in the corpus cavernosum. This procedure, ......
Children were also excluded if they were hospitalized for more than 48 h, suffered multi-trauma injuries, or if the computed tomography (CT) scan showed evidence of traumatic intracranial findings. The hospital electronic databases were used to identify children who were hospitalized or had a head...
Step 3, Elaboration of highly realistic anatomical models from MRI and CT scans. Step 4, Automatic generation of rootlets based on the identification of the uppermost rootlet (shown in red) in high-resolution MRI acquisitions. Rootlet trajectories are interpolated from this rootlet, using the ...
Using a region of interest technique, we determined the signal-intensity values of these tissues before and at fixed times up to 68.5 min after administration of the contrast agent. In tumor tissue, the 8.5 min postinjection (p.i.) scan showed a significant increase in signal intensity. The...
