Catheter-related bloodstream infection caused by Tsukamurella tyrosinosolvens identified by secA1sequencing in an immunocompromised child: a case report.

Background: Tsukamurella spp. are obligate aerobic, gram-positive, non-motile, and slightly acid-fast bacilli belonging to the Actinomycetes family. They share many characteristics with Nocardia, Rhodococcus, Gordonia, and the rapidly growing Mycobacterium species.

Automated detection and measurement of uterine peristalsis in cine MR images.

Purpose: To evaluate the ability of automated software to quantify uterine peristalsis on cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Materials And Methods: At 1.5T, half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin echo (HASTE) techniques were used to obtain 60 serial images over 3 minutes (TR/TE 3000/80 msec) in a midsagittal plane of the uterus.
