Background: Pain is a common symptom of multiple sclerosis (MS). The reliability of outcome measures for pain and the accuracy of screening tools are essential for treatment purposes.

Objectives: This study investigated the test-retest reliability of Neuropathic Pain Scale (NPS), Neuropathic Pain Symptom Inventory (NPSI), Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF), Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ), Douleur Neuropathique 4 (DN4), and painDETECT, and the accuracy of DN4 and painDETECT.

Purpose To evaluate the performance of a high-dynamic-range quantitative susceptibility mapping (HDR-QSM) cardiac MRI technique to detect intramyocardial hemorrhage (IMH) and quantify iron content using phantom and canine models. Materials and Methods A free-running whole-heart HDR-QSM technique for IMH assessment was developed and evaluated in calibrated iron phantoms and 14 IMH female canine models. IMH detection and iron content quantification performance of this technique was compared with the conventional iron imaging approaches, R2*(1/T2*) maps, using measurements from ex vivo imaging as the reference standard.

Article Synopsis
  • High-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) is commonly used to treat patients with central nervous system lymphoma, but it carries risks of unpredictable toxicity and pharmacokinetic variability.
  • The study aimed to characterize the population pharmacokinetics of HD-MTX and identify predictors for the risk of kidney and liver damage.
  • Results indicated that factors like estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), treatment regimen, and MTX dose significantly impact PK variability and toxicity risk, with specific concentration thresholds linked to increased chances of nephrotoxicity.

A high-throughput approach for quantifying turgor loss point in grapevine.

Plant Methods

November 2024

Horticultural & Environmental Sciences Innovation Centre, Niagara College, Welland, Canada.

Quantifying drought tolerance in crops is critical for agriculture management under environmental change, and drought response traits in grape vine have long been the focus of viticultural research. Turgor loss point (π) is gaining attention as an indicator of drought tolerance in plants, though estimating π often requires the construction and analysis of pressure-volume (P-V) curves which are very time consuming. While P-V curves remain a valuable tool for assessing π and related traits, there is considerable interest in developing high-throughput methods for rapidly estimating π, especially in the context of crop screening.

Background: The main aim of the study whether changes in central venous-to-arterial CO difference (ΔP(v-a)CO) and central venous oxygen saturation (ΔScvO) induced by volume expansion (VE) are reliable parameters to define fluid responsiveness (FR) in sedated and mechanically ventilated septic patients. We also sought to determine whether the degree of FR was related to baseline ScvO and P(v-a)CO levels.

Methods: This was a post-hoc analysis of a multicenter prospective study.
