Twenty-Four Hours of Mild Hypothermia in Unsedated Newborn Pigs Starting after a Severe Global Hypoxic-Ischemic Insult Is Not Neuroprotective MARIANNE THORESEN, SAULIUS SATAS, ELSE MARIT LØBERG, ANDREW WHITELAW, DOMINIQUE ACOLET, CARL LINDGREN, JULIET PENRICE, NICOLA ROBERTSON, EGIL HAUG, AND ...
The BOLD resting-state functional MRI protocol consisted of a gradient echo-planar sequence with FOV 230 × 230 mm, matrix 96 × 96, slice thickness 4 mm, TE = 35 ms, TR = 3000 ms, flip angle = 90°, and voxel size of 2.4 × 2.4x4 mm. The acquisition...
The increase in cases of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) underlines the urgency of finding effective methods to slow its progression. Given the limited effectiveness of current pharmacological options to prevent or treat the early stages of this deterior
Functional MRI was acquired using gradient echo planar imaging with the following parameters: TR 2000 ms; TE 20 ms; FOV 224x224mm; voxel size 3.5 × 3.62 × 3.5 mm. To account for T1 equilibrium effects, image acquisition was preceded by a preparation phase. The following sequences were ...
Prevalence and clinical significance of mild paraprosthetic ring leaks and left atrial spontaneous echo contrast detected on transesophageal echocardiography three months after isolated mitral valve replacement with a mechanical prosthesis. Am J Cardiol. 1993; 72(11):848-50....
The 3D-T1 structural images of the brain will be obtained by 3D magnetization-prepared rapid acquisition with gradient echo (3D-MPRAGE) using the following acquisition parameters: 176 sagittal slices; thickness = 1 mm; TR = 8.2 ms; TE = 3.2 ms; flip angle = 8...
Diffusion weighted were acquired from each subject through spin-echo single-shot EPIs sequences (TE = 61 ms; TR = 8500 ms, single-shell, max b-factor = 1000 mm/s2, flip-angle = 90°, 32 directions) with 70 axially oriented 256 × 256 planes resulting in ...
Blood samples were processed in a local laboratory using standardized commercially available test kits for analysis of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), hs-TropT and NT-proBNP (Elecsys 2010, Roche). The local laboratory cutoff value for a limit of detection of hs-TropT was greater...
