Background: Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) and perineural invasion (PNI) are important prognostic factors for gastric cancer (GC) that indicate an increased risk of metastasis and poor outcomes. Accurate preoperative prediction of LVI/PNI status could help clinicians identify high-risk patients and guide treatment decisions. However, prior models using conventional computed tomography (CT) images to predict LVI or PNI separately have had limited accuracy.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFRationale And Objectives: To investigate the microperfusion and water molecule diffusion alterations in sensorimotor-related areas in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) using intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) magnetic resonance imaging.
Materials And Methods: IVIM data were obtained from 43 ALS patients and 31 controls. This study employed the revised ALS Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS-R) in evaluating disease severity.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of incidental pulmonary embolism (IPE) in suspected stroke patients receiving carotid computed tomography angiography (CTA) and its characteristics.
Materials And Methods: A total of 4873 cases receiving carotid CTA between January 2013 and December 2016 were retrospectively reassessed by one radiologist. Patients with previous or suspected PE were excluded.
Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on loading Verapamil Hydrochloride onto carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (c-CNTs) to explore their potential as drug carriers for controlled and sustained drug release.
- - Raw carbon nanotubes were chemically modified to create c-CNTs, which improved their water solubility and facilitated drug loading, with drug release behavior influenced by the amount of drug added.
- - Findings indicate that c-CNTs can effectively serve as drug delivery systems, and optimizing the drug formulation is key to achieving desired release characteristics.
