Physical Activity Correlates With Skeletal Muscle MRI Findings in Individuals With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Introduction/aims: Skeletal muscle magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a validated noninvasive tool to assess Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) progression. There is interest in finding DMD biomarkers that decrease the burden of clinical trial participation, such as wearable devices. Our aim was to evaluate the relationship between activity, via accelerometry, and skeletal muscle MRI, particularly T mapping.

Automatic text classification of drug-induced liver injury using document-term matrix and XGBoost.

Introduction: Regulatory agencies generate a vast amount of textual data in the review process. For example, drug labeling serves as a valuable resource for regulatory agencies, such as U.S.

Do joint-preserving hip procedures compromise subsequent total hip arthroplasty? A meta-analysis of complications, functional outcome and survivorship.

Background: Joint-preserving hip operations can help relieve pain and delay the need for long-term joint arthroplasty. Previous research has not identified procedures that can compromise outcomes following total hip arthroplasty (THA). This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the effect of joint-preserving hip operations on outcomes following subsequent THA.

Severe DRESS with myocarditis secondary to naproxen/esomeprazole.

A man in his 60s presented with a widespread erythematous rash and associated chills, paraesthesia and haematuria. He had recently commenced naproxen/esomeprazole. Blood tests showed hypereosinophilia (0.

Stem heating results in hydraulic dysfunction in Symplocos tinctoria: implications for post-fire tree death.

Fire-induced heating of stems can impair plant water transport by deforming xylem and increasing vulnerability to cavitation, but it is not clear whether these effects can result in tree death, or how quickly this may occur. In field experiments, we heated stems of Symplocos tinctoria (L.) L'Hér saplings to 90 °C using a thin-film resistive heater, and we monitored stomatal conductance, leaf water potential, sap flow and hydraulic conductivity until stem death.
