Clinical indications for digital imaging in dento-alveolar trauma. Part 1: traumatic injuries
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2007-04)
In vivo butyrylcholinesterase activity is not increased in Alzheimer's disease synapses
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-01)
Objective We tested the premise that cholinesterase inhibitor therapy should target butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) in Alzheimer's disease (AD), not acetylcholinesterase (AChE) alone, because both enzymes hydrolyze ...
Histotripsy of Rabbit Renal Tissue in Vivo: Temporal Histologic Trends
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers, 2007-10-01)
Background and Purpose: Histotripsy is defined as noninvasive, nonthermal, mechanical (cavitational) tissue ablation. We previously demonstrated the predictable acute tissue effects of histotripsy in rabbit kidney and other ...
Use of computerized tomography and chest X-rays in evaluating efficacy of aerosolized recombinant human DNase in cystic fibrosis patients younger than age 5 years: A preliminary study * Presented in part at the International Conference for the American Thoracic Society, April 23–28, 1999, and at the North American Annual Cystic Fibrosis Conference, October 7–10, 1999.
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-05)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of high-resolution computerized tomography (HRCT) of the chest and chest x-rays (CXR) to determine efficacy of inhaled recombinant human DNase (rhDNase) in cystic fibrosis ...
Estimate of vascular permeability and cerebral blood volume using Gd-DTPA contrast enhancement and dynamic T2*-weighted MRI
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-08)
Purpose To develop a numerical approach for estimation of vascular permeability from dynamic T2*-weighted imaging, a technique routinely used to measure cerebral blood volume (CBV) and flow in gliomas. Materials and ...
Diffusion-weighted MR imaging of the liver at 3.0 Tesla using TRacking Only Navigator echo (TRON): A feasibility study
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2009-11)
Purpose: To assess the feasibility of TRacking Only Navigator echo (TRON) for diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) of the liver at 3.0T. Materials and Methods: Ten volunteers underwent TRON, respiratory ...
Evaluation of ( E )-2′-deoxy-2′-(fluoromethylene)cytidine on the 9L rat brain tumor model using MRI
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2003-04)
( E )-2′-deoxy-2′-(fluoromethylene)cytidine (FMdC), was evaluated as a potential treatment for malignant gliomas using the rat 9L brain tumor model. FMdC was shown to be an effective inhibitor of cell proliferation in ...
Potential of a Compton camera for high performance scintimammography
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2004-02-21)
In this paper, we present a novel approach to scintimammography that is based on the Compton camera principle. We analyse the performance of our scheme using Monte Carlo simulations. In particular, we evaluate the detection ...
Clinical and Radiologic Assessments to Predict Breast Cancer Pathologic Complete Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer, 2005-08)
To prospectively compare the ability of clinical examination, mammography, vascularity-sensitive ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to determine pathologic complete response (CR) in breast cancer patients ...
Cognitive function and nigrostriatal markers in abstinent methamphetamine abusers
(Springer-Verlag, 2006-04)
Preclinical investigations have established that methamphetamine (MA) produces long-term changes in dopamine (DA) neurons in the striatum. Human studies have suggested similar effects and correlated motor and cognitive ...
