Atherosclerotic plaque rupture is a major cause of cardiovascular events. Plaque destabilization is associated with extracellular matrix (ECM) modification involving proteases which generate protein fragments with new N-termini. We hypothesized that rupture-prone plaques would contain elevated fragment levels, and their sequences would allow identification of active proteases and target proteins.

- Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) significantly impacts quality of life, and many affected individuals receive inadequate management from healthcare providers.
- This systematic review analyzed various studies to determine the prevalence of HMB causes and the effectiveness of diagnostic methods, focusing on premenopausal patients.
- Findings revealed that bleeding disorders are common in HMB cases, particularly in adolescents, emphasizing the need for thorough investigation based on age and underlying conditions.
Article Synopsis
- * Methods: Researchers reviewed data from patients who received VBX stent grafts during F/B-EVAR between January 2019 and May 2023, focusing on technical success, potential complications, and overall patient survival.
- * Results: The study found a 97.5% technical success rate for VBX stent graft implantation, with low rates of complications and high overall survival at 86.7% after
Purpose: The purpose of this work is to validate a simple and versatile integrated variable flip angle (VFA) method for mapping B in hyperpolarized MRI, which can be used to correct signal variations due to coil inhomogeneity.
Theory And Methods: Simulations were run to assess performance of the VFA B mapping method compared to the currently used constant flip angle (CFA) approach. Simulation results were used to inform the design of VFA sequences, validated in four volunteers for hyperpolarized xenon-129 imaging of the lungs and another four volunteers for hyperpolarized carbon-13 imaging of the human brain.
