To assess the feasibility of a proposed pancreatic protocol CT generated from portal-venous phase (PVP) dual-energy CT (DECT) acquisition and its impact on image quality, lesion conspicuity, and arterial visualization/involvement.

We included 111 patients (mean age, 66.8 years) who underwent pancreatic protocol DECT (pancreatic phase, PP,…[Read more]

These preliminary results suggest that dietary supplementation with Lippia citriodora extract can improve the lipid profile, enhance blood antioxidant power, and could be a valuable natural compound for the management of human hypercholesterolemia.The metastasis suppressor function of NM23 proteins is widely understood. Multiple enzymatic…[Read more]

For the present study, we additionally measured the excretion rate of DMA in 24-h collected urine samples of the RTR and of healthy kidney donors in the cohort, with the aim to quantitate whole-body asymmetric (ADMA, DMA) and symmetric (SDMA) arginine-dimethylation. We found that lower DMA excretion rates were associated with higher all-cause…[Read more]

The landmark has been well-received in our region as a facile instrument for safe cholecystectomy and we advocate for its broader use.

The two points of reference are reliable surface landmarks with predictable and consistent relationships to the biliary pedicles. It also serves as a line above which the gallbladder can be opened or mobilized…[Read more]

Recent progress in optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) and high-temperature superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) has facilitated the development of an on-scalp magnetoencephalography (MEG) system that offers high signal intensity and flexibility at a lower cost. While the on-scalp sensor array has high flexibility, it brings new…[Read more]
