OBJECTIVE We assessed if non-breath-hold (NBH) fast scanning protocol can provide respiratory motion-free images for interpretation of chest computed tomography (CT). MATERIALS AND METHODS In our 2-phase project, we first collected baseline data on frequency of respiratory motion artifacts on breath-hold chest CT in 826 adult patients. The second…[Read more]

After adjusting for confounding variables, there were no significant differences in the NRS scores between the 2 groups at any time point. The adjusted odds ratio for additional invasive procedures within 6 months after CEA was 1.03-times higher in the ERF group than in the ER group, but this difference was not statistically significant (95%…[Read more]

80 to -0.25; P less then 0.05) than those who maintained normal weight. Those who developed ov/ob after having normal weight had poorer school-life experiences (β = -0.55 to -0.25; P less then 0.05). Conclusions Ov/ob and maintaining and developing ov/ob had adverse academic impacts on adolescents. Relevant stakeholders should consider…[Read more]

The applicability of this TBARS assay is shown in human serum, low density lipoproteins, and cell lysates. The assay is consistent and reproducible, and limits of detection of 1.1 μM can be reached. Recommendations for the use and interpretation of the spectrophotometric TBARS assay are provided.Primary cilia are dynamically regulated during cell…[Read more]
