The longitudinal and transverse nuclear magnetic resonance relaxivity dispersion (NMRD) of H in water induced by the paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) of dissolved lanthanide ions (Ln) can become very strong. Longitudinal and transverse H NMRD for Gd, Dy, Er and Ho were measured from 20 MHz/0.47 T to 1382 MHz/32.

This study aimed to generate a very high spatial resolution (0.5 m) and detailed (21 classes) LULC map for the greater Mariño watershed (Peru) in 2019, using the MORINGA processing chain.

Magic-angle spinning NMR is a powerful method to obtain atomic-level information about intact cell walls. Here we investigate sensitivity and information content of different homonuclear CC and heteronuclear HN, HC and NC correlation experiments.

Since shunt surgery is usually the only therapeutic option and carries significant morbidity, optimal patient selection is crucial. The tap test is the most commonly used prognostic test to confirm the diagnosis but lacks sensitivity.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBotulinum neurotoxin serotype A (BoNT-A) has several therapeutic indications such as spasticity and dystonia. Although its use is generally considered safe, a systemic diffusion can lead to systemic complications, and a botulism-like syndrome can occur after intramuscular injections. Herein, two adult cases who developed general muscle weakness after a BoNT-A intramuscular injection are reported.
