Improved liver fat and quantification at 0.55 T using locally low-rank denoising.

Purpose: To improve liver proton density fat fraction (PDFF) and quantification at 0.55 T by systematically validating the acquisition parameter choices and investigating the performance of locally low-rank denoising methods.

Methods: A Monte Carlo simulation was conducted to design a protocol for PDFF and mapping at 0.

The Effects of Acupressure on Preoperative Anxiety, Postoperative Pain, and Nausea and Vomiting in Otolaryngology Patients.

Purpose: Surgical patients frequently experience symptoms such as preoperative anxiety, postoperative pain, and nausea and vomiting. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of acupressure on preoperative anxiety, postoperative pain, and nausea and vomiting in otolaryngology patients.

Design: The study was designed as a prospective, assessor-blinded, parallel, 2-armed (1:1), randomized controlled trial.

Assessing osteoporosis awareness and knowledge levels of Turkish multiple sclerosis patients: an observational study.

Unlabelled: This study assessed osteoporosis knowledge and awareness among multiple sclerosis patients. The findings reveal a concerning lack of knowledge and awareness regarding osteoporosis, emphasizing the necessity for educational interventions to enhance early detection and mitigate complications within this particular patient group.

Aim: To assess the knowledge and awareness of osteoporosis in Turkish multiple sclerosis (MS) patients.

Improved abdominal T1 weighted imaging at 0.55T.

Purpose: Breath-held fat-suppressed volumetric T1-weighted MRI is an important and widely-used technique for evaluating the abdomen. Both fat-saturation and Dixon-based fat-suppression methods are used at conventional field strengths; however, both have challenges at lower field strengths (<1.5T) due to insufficient fat suppression and/or inadequate resolution.
