Onconephrology: The Significance of Renal Function for the Development, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Cancer.

Background: Modern treatment strategies have markedly improved the chances of survival for patients with cancer. As the population ages, cancer is becoming more common, as is chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD increases the risk of cancer; conversely, cancer treatments can cause CKD.

The effect of sparkling water on the systemic pharmacokinetics of paracetamol in older adults.

Paracetamol absorption kinetics show considerable variability in older adults, complicating the development of effective dosing regimens in the advanced-age population. In previous research, sparkling water has been shown to influence absorption-related processes. This study aimed to apply these findings to older adults and investigate the impact of sparkling water on absorption-related variability and early exposure.

Partial Fourier in the presence of respiratory motion in prostate diffusion-weighted echo planar imaging.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of respiratory motion in terms of signal loss in prostate diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and to evaluate the usage of partial Fourier in a free-breathing protocol in a clinically relevant b-value range using both single-shot and multi-shot acquisitions.

Methods: A controlled breathing DWI acquisition was first employed at 3 T to measure signal loss from deep breathing patterns. Single-shot and multi-shot (2-shot) acquisitions without partial Fourier (no pF) and with partial Fourier (pF) factors of 0.

Evaluation of GPT-4's Chest X-Ray Impression Generation: A Reader Study on Performance and Perception.

Exploring the generative capabilities of the multimodal GPT-4, our study uncovered significant differences between radiological assessments and automatic evaluation metrics for chest x-ray impression generation and revealed radiological bias.

Retrospective Motion Artifact Reduction by Spatial Scaling of Liver Diffusion-Weighted Images.

Cardiac motion causes unpredictable signal loss in respiratory-triggered diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) of the liver, especially inside the left lobe. The left liver lobe may thus be frequently neglected in the clinical evaluation of liver DWI. In this work, a data-driven algorithm that relies on the statistics of the signal in the left liver lobe to mitigate the motion-induced signal loss is presented.
