Acute volume expansion is associated with a specific pattern of Fos expression and the goal of the present study was to evaluate the contribution of cardiac receptors to this response. Adult male rats were instrumented with pericardial catheters introduced at the level of the thymus. Rats were also catheterized for measuring blood pressure, heart rate, central venous pressure, and intravenous infusion. Each rat received a 200-microl intrapericardial (i.p.c) injection of 2% procaine or 0.9% NaCl. Rats were then volume expanded with isotonic saline (10% body weight in 10 min) or given a control infusion (0.01 ml/min for 10 min). Ninety minutes after the start of the infusion, the rats were anesthetized and perfused transcardially. Their brains were sectioned and processed for Fos, dopamine-beta-hydroxylase, and oxytocin immunocytochemistry. Volume expansion plus i.p.c. saline produced a significant increase in Fos expression in the nucleus of the solitary tract, the ventrolateral medulla, the area postrema, the locus coeruleus, the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus, the perinuclear zone of the supraoptic nucleus, and oxytocin neurons in the supraoptic nucleus. The i.p.c. procaine significantly blocked Fos expression produced by the volume expansion in the all of the regions examined except for the area postrema and the SON oxytocin neurons.

Investigating the potential of diffusion tensor atlases to generate anisotropic clinical tumor volumes in glioblastoma patients.

Aarhus University Hospital, Danish Centre for Particle Therapy, Palle Juul-Jensens Blvd. 25, 8200 Aarhus, Denmark.
Background And Purpose: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has been proposed to guide the anisotropic expansion from gross tumor volume to clinical target volume (CTV), aiming to integrate known tumor spread patterns into the CTV. This study investigate the potential of using a DTI atlas as an alternative to patient-specific DTI for generating anisotropic CTVs.
Materials And Methods: The dataset consisted of twenty-eight newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients from a Danish national DTI protocol with post-operative T1-contrast and DTI imaging.
Background: For growing healthcare organisations, anchored resources-assets that are not easily movable-may complicate expansion and distort workflow patterns. We examine work patterns at a radiation oncology department of a major Canadian hospital. As this department doubled its size, healthcare providers remained bound to treatment planning rooms and radiation machines at the original site.

This work aims to determine the mechanism of the photomechanical response of poly(Methyl methacrylate) polymer doped with the photo-isomerizable dye Disperse Red 1 using the non-isomerizable dye Disperse Orange 11 as a control to isolate photoisomerization. Samples are free-standing thin films with thickness that is small compared with the optical skin depth to assure uniform illumination and photomechanical response throughout their volume, which differentiates these studies from most others. Polarization-dependent measurements of the photomechanical stress response are used to deconvolute the contributions of angular hole burning, molecular reorientation and photothermal heating.

: Combining autologous fat grafting with implant placement is meant to improve the quality of implant-based breast reconstruction. The present study explores the concept of multi-stage composite breast reconstruction with repeated sessions of autologous fat grafting to increase mastectomy flap thickness and provide better pre-pectoral implant coverage. : Twenty-five consecutive patients underwent bilateral multi-stage composite expander-to-implant breast reconstruction and reverse expansion from August 2020 to April 2024.

To achieve resourceful utilization of dredged sludge, lightweight treatment was performed on sludge from Xunsi River in Wuhan using fly ash, cement, and expanded polystyrene (EPS) particles. Density tests and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) tests were conducted on the composite stabilized sludge lightweight soil to determine the optimal mix ratio for high-quality roadbed fill material with low self-weight and high strength. Subsequently, microstructural tests, including X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), were conducted.
