Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is the gold standard imaging modality for volumes and function assessment and has the unique capability to provide tissue characterization [38]. In addition, two-dimensional (2D) phase-contrast (PC) sequences can be used to assess blood flow within cardiac chambers...
CO activates guanylate cyclase/cGMP signaling and Ca2+-sensitive K+ channels that hyperpolarize the membrane of VSMCs, therefore reducing Ca2+ entry via voltage-sensitive channels. There may be an interaction between CO and NO in eliciting vasodilation. Little is known about effects of endogenous ...
FLAIR sequence was performed after contrast administration.The images were reviewed by three experienced radiologists.Results Postcontrast FLAIR was sensitive to the enhancement of adjacent parenchyma,intracranial nerves and cerebrospinal fluid.The pitfalls of postcontrast T1WI that enhancement of the meningeal...
Interstitial fluid (ISF) surrounds the parenchymal cells of the brain and spinal cord while cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fills the larger spaces within and around the CNS. Regulation of the composition and volume of these fluids is important for effective f
there remain unmet needs for diagnostics to sensitively detect the disease at both initial presentation and at recurrence. This latter need is particularly important, since recurrences (particularly subependymal metastatic disease within the ventricles) do not always enhance on MRI, and, when present,...
Imaging protocols and data processing for MRI and PET studies in DIAN have previously been described in detail69,70. We used the precuneus region for cortical thickness and metabolic imaging analyses given that it has been shown to be the region most sensitive to early AD changes in ADAD69. ...

This may further facilitate the encapsulation and delivery of gastric sensitive compounds to the small intestine. However, the discrepancy within the digestibility of interfacial layers and whole emulsions must be stressed. While polysaccharides reduce the rate of proteolysis or lipolysis at fluid ...
Introduction Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) (1,2) often suffers from fluid and flow contaminations from CSF and vasculature, especially at the ventral brain regions, within the periventricular space or close to the cortical surface, because of the hyper-intensity of fluid in the T2 weighted basel...
