Article Synopsis
- The study wanted to see how well different tests find liver cancer in people who just got diagnosed with colorectal cancer.
- It looked at four types of tests: CEUS, CECT, MRI, and FDG-PET/CT, using information from other studies.
- The results showed that FDG-PET/CT was the best at finding liver cancer, while CECT was the least accurate of the tests.
Background: Studies in patients with diabetes have shown that the guided self determination (GSD) method effectively improves patients' glycaemia control and life skills. As a pilot study in 2011 showed promising results of using parts of GSD adjusted to patients on haemodialysis (HD), we decided to develop and test a full-scale GSD for this patient group (GSD-HD).
Objectives: To study how a full-scale GSD-HD influenced the quality of relatedness between the patient and the GSD-HD nurse and the patients' ability to live well with end stage renal disease (ESRD).
The introduction of integrated MRI-radiation therapy systems will offer live intra-fraction imaging. We propose a feasible low-latency multi-plane MRI-linac guidance strategy. In this work we demonstrate how interleaved acquired, orthogonal cine-MRI planes can be used for low-latency tracking of the 3D trajectory of a soft-tissue target structure.

Methods: We compared hearts from control pigs with hearts from pigs treated with increasing oral doses of captopril for 3 weeks (12.5-150 mg daily), an intravenous bolus (25 mg) before operation, and captopril-containing cardioplegic solution (1 mg/L).
