The time-dependent reproduction number, R t , is a key metric used by epidemiologists to assess the current state of an outbreak of an infectious disease. This quantity is usually estimated using time…
The Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic has brought the world to a standstill. Healthcare systems are critical to maintain during pandemics, however, providing service to sick patients has po…
The aim of the study was to analyse the data obtained from a 2-year follow-up study of middle-aged Finnish subjects (n = 183) with a previous history of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in order to el…
Stereology applied on histological sections is the 'gold standard' for obtaining quantitative information on cancellous bone structure. Recent advances in micro computed tomography (microCT) have made…
As part of Public Health England's assessment of vectorborne disease risk to public health in the UK, tick specimens are regularly submitted by veterinarians for identification via the Tick Surveillan…
The study aimed to assess the level of correlation between muscle-tendon unit (MTU) stiffness and mechanomyogram (MMG) signal amplitude of the human gastrocnemius medialis muscle, both before and afte…
The structure and hydrogen bonding of water in an aqueous solution of amphoteric copolymers (poly(MA-r-DMAPMA), 3x10(3)<M(w)<10(4)) composed of various ratios of methacrylic acid (MA) and N-[3-(dimeth…
BACKGROUND : Elevation of hepatic enzymes is associated with insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia and obesity. However, the factors behind elevation of liver enzymes remain unclear. The aim of this study…
We report an improved tool for acquiring temperature-resolved fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra of complex polymer systems undergoing thermal transitions, illustrated by application to severa…
As lipofilling of the female breast is becoming more popular in plastic surgery, the use of MRI to assess breast volume has been employed to control postoperative results. Therefore, we sought to eval…
OBJECTIVE: As the morpholgic severity of coarctation of the aorta is difficult to assess, especially after previous repair, the value of the technique of multiplanar reconstruction of magnetic resonan…
Little is known about the factors influencing individual selection and consumption of fats or the role of sensory preferences in this process. Thirty human subjects kept diet records for 10 d and then…
The effects of age on the interrelation between the physical properties of the arterial tree (aortic input impedance) and left ventricular performance (cardiac output) were studied in 45 subjects, age…
UNLABELLED: The distribution of benzodiazepine receptors in the human brain has been widely studied with SPECT using (123)I-iomazenil and semiquantitative approaches, but these methods do not allow qu…
The N-terminus of the B-chain of insulin may adopt two alternative conformations designated as the T- and R-states. Despite the recent structural insight into insulin-insulin receptor (IR) complexes, …
Estimation of multiple T2 components within single imaging voxels typically proceeds in one of two ways; a nonparametric grid approximation to a continuous distribution is made and a regularized nonne…
OBJECTIVE: To study the genuine of 32 samples of Niuxi from 14 provinces, and compare some samples stored for different time to check the change in the coures of store.METHOD: IR spectroscopy and Anal…
BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have revealed structural brain changes in late life depression, mainly in white matter or whole lobes with few focussing just on grey matter (GM). The objective was to inv…
PURPOSE: To validate the 2010 diagnostic criteria from the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) on MRI using the surgical liver specimen as a…
Measurement of hemodynamic wall shear stress (WSS) is important in investigating the role of WSS in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. Echo particle image velocimetry (echo PIV) is a n…
