Cell-to-cell communications are critical determinants of pathophysiological phenotypes, but methodologies for their systematic elucidation are lacking. Herein, we propose an approach for the Systematic Elucidation and Assessment of Regulatory Cell-to-cell Interaction Networks (SEARCHIN) to identify ligand-mediated interactions between distinct…[Read more]

To determine the relationship between managers’ leadership styles (ie, transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire) and job satisfaction as perceived by technologists in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging departments.

A random sample of 10 000 American Society of Radiologic Technologists members with MR credentials was invited to…[Read more]

The needle revision procedure to address failing filtering blebs is a blind technique that might easily damage the scleral flap, conjunctiva, and choroid. We propose a new surgical procedure, infrared monitor-guided bleb revision, to perform bleb revision minimally invasively and effectively, and demonstrate the procedure in a patient. We…[Read more]

Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Radiotherapy is often applied for the treatment, but radioresistance is a challenge in some patients. MicroRNAs have been reported to be involved in the DNA damage response induced by ionizing radiation and recent studies have reported microRNA-mediated…[Read more]

as also associated with a reduction in postoperative body dysmorphic disorder symptoms, even in severe cases.

The prevalence of body dysmorphic disorder symptoms in our sample was high. Rhinoseptoplasty was associated with an improvement in quality of life outcomes related to nasal function and aesthetic outcome in all groups, irrespective of…[Read more]

ary to disease activity evaluation.

• Multimodal photoacoustic/ultrasound imaging is a novel method to assess micro-vessels and oxygenation of local lesions. • Significant correlations between multimodal imaging parameters and clinical scores of RA patients were verified. • The multimodal PA/US system can provide objective imaging param…[Read more]

Transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve replacement (TMVR) is a feasible alternative in high-risk patients requiring reoperation for failing mitral bioprosthesis. Such patients may present with hemodynamic instability or sudden complications, which may jeopardize the outcomes. We report a successful transapical TMVR in a patient, with severe…[Read more]

Adherence rates were generally higher and clinical gains were more evident for interventions involving real-time interaction as opposed to self-guided interventions.

Telehealth delivery of supportive care is feasible and acceptable to a high proportion of individuals with primary brain tumour and their caregivers. It is recommended that…[Read more]

Conclusion Although renal fungal infections are rare, a strong suspicion and timely definitive management of such entities in patients with radiolucent renal calculus can prevent devastating invasive disease.Solitary renal unit with ectopic ureter with bladder agenesis is a rare congenital anomaly. Urinary incontinence in such cases is dealt with…[Read more]
