The study aims to investigate the effect of cerebral ischemia or hypoperfusion in the evaluation of neural activity with blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI…
Orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances increases the caries risk in young persons. The aim of this study was to apply a new caries diagnostic method, quantitative laser fluorescence, for longitud…
The performance of the level set segmentation is subject to appropriate initialization and optimal configuration of controlling parameters, which require substantial manual intervention. A new fuzzy l…
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the popcorn technique using a wide range of holmium laser settings and fiber sizes in a systematic in vitro assessment.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Evaluat…
PURPOSE: To evaluate an improved image acquisition and data-processing strategy for assessing aortic vascular geometry and 3D blood flow at 3T.MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a study with five normal volunt…
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Optimal means for assessing cerebral vasospasm, mainly at the vertebrobasilar system, have not been established. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of multisect…
BACKGROUND: Rapid identification of a proximal occlusion site of a major coronary artery is of paramount importance in the care of myocardial infarction (MI). It is increasingly recognized that routin…
Over 99% of sucrose in mandarin juice (57.1 g/l in original juice to 428.4 g/l in concentrated juice) was enzymatically converted to glucooligosaccharides using 3 U dextransucrase/ml prepared from Leu…
The authors describe the continuance of the growth of the distracted cranium after the reshaping of the cranium by distraction osteogenesis (DO) in children with simple symmetric and asymmetric cranio…
MedPics is a computer-based image delivery system with supporting text fields and on-screen graphics to assist in key feature identification. It has been used by the University of California, San Dieg…
Sir Karl Popper is well known for explicating science in falsificationist terms, for which his degree of corroboration formalism, C(h,e,b), has become little more than a symbol. For example, de Queiro…
The most important sensory attribute affecting consumer acceptability is tenderness, which is a complex trait. Aging is the practice of holding meat at low temperatures to improve tenderness. In order…
Multipoint linkage analysis is commonly used to evaluate linkage of a disease to multiple markers in a small region. Multipoint analysis is particularly powerful when the IBD relations of family membe…
Data obtained in in vitro experiments and urethane anaesthetized animals have revealed that the mechanisms responsible for the generation of hippocampal cholinergic theta rhythm are specifically affec…
Quality of life for the visually impaired is an urgent worldwide issue that needs to be addressed. Obstacle detection is one of the most important navigation tasks for the visually impaired. In this r…
During development, dopaminergic neurons innervate the developing striatal target, forming two different growth patterns: a patchy growth and a diffuse growth. Chronic treatment with the dopamine anta…
The aim of this study was to develop a planimetric, automatic method for evaluation of the extension and volume of plaque. Series of color macrophotographs of stained plaque were analyzed with a digit…
Amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), which has a high risk of progression to Alzheimer's disease (AD), can be classified into single domain (S-aMCI) and multiple domain (M-aMCI) subtypes. We inv…
PURPOSE: To establish an optimized sequence design for fast acceleration of arterial spin labeling (ASL)-based time-resolved magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) by acquisition of control and labeled …
PURPOSE: To demonstrate simultaneous editing of the two most commonly edited and overlapping signals, ã-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and glutathione (GSH), with Hadamard encoding and reconstruction of ME…
