T2*-weighted gradient-echo sequences count among the most widely used techniques in neuroimaging and offer rich magnitude and phase contrast. The susceptibility effects underlying this contrast scale with B0, making T2*-weighted imaging particularly interesting at high field. High field also benefits baseline sensitivity and thus facilitates…[Read more]

We also show that random variance in people’s probabilistic judgement follows a particular mathematical model from frequentist probability theory the binomial proportion distribution. This result supports a model in which people reason about probabilities in a way that follows frequentist probability theory but is subject to random variation or…[Read more]

3 ns), suggesting applications as magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents with large relaxivity.

In this study, we aimed to determine the consequences of different amounts of leukocyte transfusion on the outcome of patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

This was a prospective, single-blinded cohort study conducted for 1 year from J…[Read more]

Consequently, the trauma has a ripple effect that may carry over to veterans’ spouses and offspring. The multiple manifestations and trajectories of both acute and chronic trauma will be presented. Clinical ramifications and implications will also be discussed.Background Many aspects of the Covid-19 pandemic may make living with or recovery from…[Read more]

The rotation frequency and the minimal force required to escape from the trap were also measured. The average rotation frequency was found to be independent of the trapping power, and the swimming force of a cell escaping the laser trap ranged from 4 to 10 picoNewtons. Our observations provide insight into the photostimulus produced when a…[Read more]

As an example of molecular design of new polymers, structures and properties of poly(ethylene thionoterephthalate) (PET[S2]) and the related polymers have been predicted from calculations of ab initio molecular orbital (MO) theory, rotational isomeric state (RIS) scheme, and periodic density functional theory (DFT). The MO calculations were…[Read more]

Effective therapies to combat coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) are urgently needed. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) has in vitro antiviral activity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), but the clinical benefit of HCQ in treating COVID-19 is unclear. Randomized controlled trials are needed to determine the safety and efficacy…[Read more]

Recently, colorectal cancer has increased in elderly patients worldwide, with laparoscopic colorectal surgery increasing in elderly patients with colorectal cancer. However, whether laparoscopic colorectal surgery is an optimal procedure for colorectal cancer in the elderly remains unclear. This study aimed to verify safety and curability of…[Read more]
