Background and Purpose – The study aim was to assess the effects of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) administration on white matter damage in vivo in spontaneously hypertensive rats. Methods – The …more
Background and Purpose-We measured arterial oxygen saturation (SaO(2)) during eating in acute stroke patients to establish the frequency of any meal-related hypoxemia, which could further damage already vulnerable brain tissue. …more
The aim of this current study was to test the hypothesis that contemplating a recent mobile telephone conversation has a detrimental effect on measures of attentional processing in a driving …more
Background Hibernating myocardium is associated with increased cardiovascular events. Increased QT dispersion on the surface electrocardiogram is a marker For serious ventricular arrhythmias. In this study, we determine whether hibernating …more
The role of intermolecular interactions, molecule-substrate interactions, and molecular chirality in the construction of 2-D surface architectures is the subject of much current interest. A racemic mixture of long chain …more
Dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC)-MRI is commonly used to measure cerebral perfusion in acute ischemic stroke. Quantification of perfusion parameters involves deconvolution of the tissue concentration-time curves with an arterial input …more
FMRI studies of the orbitofrontal cortex or the inferior temporal lobes are often compromised by susceptibility artefacts, which may result in signal reduction or loss in gradient echo (GE) EPI. …more
The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of some T Tauri stars display a deficit of near-infrared flux that could be a consequence of an embedded Jupiter-mass planet partially clearing an inner …more
Axillary lymph node status is the most important prognostic factor in breast cancer patients and is currently determined by surgical dissection. This study was performed to assess whether dynamic gadopentetate …more
Purpose: To evaluate differences in the magnitude and time course of renal cortical contrast uptake in patients with minimal, moderate, and severe renal artery stenosis (RAS) using contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance …more
Early after acute ischaemic stroke, elevation of brain temperature might augment tissue metabolic rate and conversion of ischaemic but viable tissue to infarction. This might explain the observed link between …more
